Philippine to China: Let's meet at the International Tribunal!

"Come on! Let's meet at the International Tribunal!" This might be the sentence that Manila wants to tell Beijing most this week in many medias' minds.

Albert del Rosario, Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary who visited China last week, announced that Philippine planed to take the South China Sea dispute to a UN tribunal and sought for solution.


Facing the unreasonable "suggestion," Rosario's Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi chose not to respond immediately as rejection, and then China gave its clear official position through the mouth of Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei on a news briefing on Tuesday.

"China has all along insisted that the South China Sea dispute should be resolved through direct negotiations between related parties in accordance with historical facts and widely recognized international laws," Hong Lei said.


"Practice has proven that direct negotiations between relevant countries are the most effective means to solve disputes on territorial sovereignty and maritime interests," he also said on Thursday.

China's rejection to the proposal doesn't prove China's "guilty" over South China Sea dispute, but show China's wisdom on contrast. Once China accepted the proposal and agreed to bring the dispute to the International Tribunal and it were also accepted by the tribunal, it could equal the admitting of Philippine's sovereignty over South China Sea!



However, Philippine not only will drop its illegal requires, but also will play the weaker in order to seek more international supports.


An article published on Daily Inquirer just modestly likens Philippine itself to a small mosquito in front of the dragon China, and it says:

"A friendly photo of China’s Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario was used by China more likely China’s psy-war response to the U.S. and tried to tell Americans that China and Philippine is working out the solution friendly."


Although two sides had agreed not to let the Spratly dispute affect friendly relations between the two countries, Rosario still had complaints to China's position. "He said China officials base their claim on 'historic rights,' referring to the 120 A.D. map of the Han Dynasty that identifies the Spratlys as the Nansha Islands. As Ted Laguatan pointed out, by that absurd argument, Italy can also lay claim to most of Europe as they were all in the ancient maps of the Roman Empire."


In the last, the article also says "China is the mighty giant dragon pitted against a tiny mosquito. But that tiny mosquito has global relatives who are calling the attention of the world to the bullying of the dragon."


But for world's people, between a peaceful rising dragon who makes great contribution to the whole world as well as plays more important role in world's development and a mosquito who loves sucking blood as well as humming around ears, they would know who is the real trouble maker! 9 13

Standing Firm, Standing Tough

In a case of an aggressor nation - no matter how small - invading another nation's - no matter how big - territory, it is but a fool who will acquiesce to an tribunal hearing.  How stupid can that be.  Almost like a thief, after having taken your prized possession, ask you to go to a tribunal to argue your right to the possession.  See how pirates' minds work?  Beijing, stand your ground, look straight into their eye, and give them a warning instead - "You have 14 days to remove yourself and your chattels out of my territories or face the consequences".  Make it public globally.  Keep up this public psych war.  Apply the same to Hanoi if no co-operation.

3^# > A < Posted  2011-7-16 18:30  Only show this user's posts China doesn't need to submit to international arbitration for several reasons:

1.  nobody who is in control of its sovereign territories will submit to international arbitration.  For example, if Mexico claim California and ask the US to submit the claim to international arbitration, will the US agree to it?  Of course not.  (California and several othre states used to belong to Mexico.)

2.  international arbitration is uncertain and corrupt.  It is usually slanted in favor of the West.  Therefore, the foregone conclusion is that China will lose its case if it is submitted to international arbitration.

3.  international law is not well defined.  The interntional court follow many laws of different countries, different customs of many peoples, and all these laws and customs and prior decisions are all contradictory so that you can pick and choose what law to apply to what case and wind up making two opposite rulings on two similar cases.

Therefore, China must not submit to international arbitration since it has nothing to gain and everything to lose.  Furthermore, the very fact that China is willing to submit to arbitration immediately weaken its case and reduce it to just another one of the many claimants.  Therefore, China must never give up its claim based on a mountain of historical evidence.  The other countries are all in favor of international arbitration because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.  These islands are not their islands and they know it.  They know they are Chinese islands and international arbitration is the only way they can steal them from China.

At this point in time, China must immediately make a unilateral declaration that it will evict all invaders from its sovereign territories and will use force if necessary.  America is in no condition to fight a very dangerous war against China which it might actually lose.  America will not take a chance to fight such a war even if it has 90% chance of winning.  As it is, America's chance of winning is probably no more than 55% which is much less than its chance of winning the Korean War.  In 1950 China was very weak while America was at its most powerful.  Everybody would have guessed that America had 99% chance of winning against China.  Yet America lost the war to China.  Today China is much more powerful relative to America.  If the Chinese are determined to fight to protect its sovereignty, then it certainly can accelerate the development and production of many advanced weapons to equal that of the US.  China has all the weapons America has, the difference is only in the numbers.  And with each passing year China will grow stronger.  In another 10 years China will be significantly more powerful than America.  At that time the probability of China winning will be 90%.  Therefore, America will not fight because it cannot win now and it will lose later.  And even if America won the military war now it will ultimately lose the economic war as American economy collapses due to the excessive military spending.  American debt is already being degraded from AAA to something less.  That will increase the cost of borrowing and hasten America's collapse.  So it is a no win situation for America to fight China.  If it loses then it will be jeered by the world.  If it won if will still be just a Pyrrhic victory as its economy collapsed like in the 1970's.

The only thing that is holding China back is the hesitation of the Chinese government.
