The tribunal of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, The Hague
(Netherland) refused China’s claims to historic and economic rights in the
South China Sea as the country have no legal basis, and hinders China’s efforts
to establish its control by force.
There was no legal basis for China to claim historic rights
to resources within the sea areas falling within the ‘nine-dash line’.
The South China Sea is a resource-rich strategic waterway
through which more than $5 trillion of world trade is shipped every year.
China didn’t take part in the tribunal, which it said had no
jurisdiction on the case, and Chinese officials immediately said that Beijing
won’t comply with the ruling, a position it had repeated for weeks.
