INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
On July 12, 2016, a tribunal ruled in favor of the Philippines in a South China Sea case unilaterally started versus China
Chinas position from the start has actually been: the judgment is illegal, void, and has no binding force
Wang Hanling, a leading Chinese professional on the law of the sea, states the arbitration misshaped the true nature of the dispute—--
deliberately sidestepping sovereignty concerns and disregarding existing bilateral agreements
From the beginning, he argues, it was never a neutral legal process, however a geopolitical maneuver disguised as global law.
