<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - July 12, 2016: China has lost a key international legal case over strategic reefs and atolls that it claims would give it control over disputed waters of the South China Sea. The judgment by an international tribunal in The Hague chiefly in favour of claims by the Philippines will increase global diplomatic pressure on Beijing to scale back military expansion in the sensitive area.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">Beijing claims 90% of the South China Sea, a maritime region believed to hold a wealth of untapped oil and gas reserves and through which roughly $4.5tn of ship-borne trade passes every year. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also contest China’s claims to islands and reef systems close to their territory than Beijing’s.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">Sporadic violence between Chinese vessels and those of south-east Asia militaries have broken out in recent decades and the verdict, the first international legal decision on the issue, could have unpredictable consequences.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">The court case at the permanent court of arbitration in The Hague, the UN-appointed tribunal that adjudicates in international disputes over maritime territory, has been running since 2013.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">The judgment does not allocate any of the outcrops or islands to rival countries but instead indicates which maritime features are capable under international law of generating territorial rights over surrounding seas. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">China has previously stated that it “will neither accept nor participate in the arbitration unilaterally initiated by the Philippines”. The tribunal ruled, however, that China’s refusal to participate did not deprive the court of jurisdiction and that the Philippines’ decision to commence arbitration unilaterally was not an abuse of the convention’s dispute settlement procedures.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">Prof Philippe Sands QC, who represented the Philippines in the hearing, said: “This is the most significant international legal case for almost the past 20 years since the Pinochet judgment.” Last year, US officials claimed the Chinese had built up an extra 800 hectares (2,000 acres) on their occupied outposts across the South China Sea over the previous 18 months.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">The main focus of activity has been on Mischief Reef, where satellite images reveal the island is growing bigger, and is surrounded by fleets of dredgers and tankers.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">Speaking on the eve of the court’s ruling, Bonnie Glaser, a senior Asia adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said she did not anticipate a major escalation from Beijing over its findings but admitted its reaction was hard to predict. “[If] the Chinese really do perceive that the ruling is just poking a finger in their eye I think there is a good possibility they will lash out,” she said.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">“I believe we have all underestimated Xi Jinping,” Glaser said of China’s strongman president who has pursued an increasingly assertive foreign policy on issues such as the South China Sea. “He just seems quite comfortable with a high level of friction with every country.”</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">China’s foreign minister spoke to the US secretary of state, John Kerry, by telephone last week to warn Washington against moves that infringe on China’s sovereignty, Chinese state media reported.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">And Beijing conducted military drills in the South China Sea, deploying at least two guided missile destroyers, the Shenyang and Ningbo, and one missile frigate deployed.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">China says it follows a historical precedent set by the “nine-dash line” that Beijing drew in 1947 following the surrender of Japan. The line has been included in subsequent maps issued under Communist rule.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="line-height: 22.8646px;">But the Philippines strongly contests China’s claims, specifically on nearby islands it says are part of the West Philippine Sea.
