It's not just China and the Philippines who has competing claims over SCS. There are plenty of overlapping claims, but China is the only one getting overly aggressive.
They should not even be there in the first place. Other claimants could have worked things out long ago, except SOMEONE was stirring the pot. 10 dash line is insane.
You're demonising China. China happened to be the last to reclaim its sovereign territory after Vietnam and the Philippines had claimed much of the spartly islands.
If there had not been a civil war in China, all the islands in the South China Sea would today be under the de facto control of China, and when Japan surrendered in 1945, Chinese forces effectively took over Japanese control of the entire South China Sea region. However, as a result of the Chinese civil war, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei had the opportunity to seize control of some of the islands and pull up the sovereignty monuments that China had previously erected on various islands.
@@ofo101 Very unlikely. If the Chinese civil war didn't happen, Chinese mainland will remain split in two between the PRC and ROC - making the two governments more prone on land skirmishes between each other. If you want an alternate history where China did not split, then the official government would be the ROC which is an ally of USA. That means North Korea would not exist, and more importantly, China will be USA's first line of defense against the USSR in Asia. China, as an ally of USA in Cold War, would most likely be pre-occupied trying to control communism across its borders with Russia, thus giving South East Asian countries more opportunity to control SCS.
The Philippines was still a colony of Spain (for 400 YEARS!) and America (for 50 years) when China claimed sovereignty over the reefs and shoals in the South China Sea.

There’s a cluster of island north of Philippines and south of Taiwan. If base on Chinese claim that there were Chinese fishing in South China Sea so they can claim it, how come those clusters of island north were not included in the 10 dash line? It’s impossible there’s no Chinese fishing in that part wherein most of Chinese migrated to Philippines settled in north area. If you put this together it doesn’t make sense at all.
The heart of the current tension between China and the Philippines is the grounded Philippine vessel BRP Sierra Madre in the second Thomas shoal. The ship was grounded in 1999 to maintain Philippine territorial claim. But it is now facing the risk of falling apart. The current Philippine govt is determined to reinforce the ship while China is determined to prevent the Philippines from doing so. This background is usually not explained in the news media.
@@norman4588 China did its island constructions from 2013 to 2017. But now it's Vietnam that is doing most of the island constructions. Over the past three years, the area of Vietnamese artificial islands has expanded more than sevenfold, now reaching half the size of China’s artificial islands.

But such claims are not recognized by UNCLOS. The Chinese 9-dash line is not precisely defined. So it can not be taken seriously. What is being contested is the resources in what Philippine considers as its EEZ, which is a notion developed in more recent decades. So it's not a sacrosanct concept like the sovereignty of inhabited lands. This leaves more room for negotiations and compromise, which would be better than having a war over these reefs.

@@energymf1991 China's Narrative on West Philippine sea are Zombie Stories. China a Big and powerful country, Pretending to be a civilized nation, and yet doesn't respect International law.
Before people complain about China's coast guard enforcement operations, why was the Philippine armed force/Navy involved and violating China's sovereignty? Why were they carrying firearms? Philippine could have used the firearms first. Philippine might be transporting the weapons to the illegally shipwrecked warship for future use. Previously, Philippine Navy and Coast Guard were the ones that uses deadly force on others. It’s the Philippine Coast Guard that had shot to death a Taiwanese fisherman in 2013 near Taiping Island which is an island administered by Taiwan. Also, Philippine also stole Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Pag-Asa during a storm. In addition, two Vietnamese fishermen died in 2017 in a tragic incident with the Philippine Navy. Would people prefer to have China Coast Guard also use firearms (instead of knives) to carry out law enforcement operations, especially against Philippine Navy? China has been too kind and didn't want to cause any fatality, as firearms or other deadly/invasive operations would.
If you watched the video with audio, the Chinese coast guards asked ph military special force put the machine gun down. It’s obvious pH sent 80 military special force on attacking mission. Glad Chinese coast guards were able to keep them under control.
Filipino people have been fishing for decays in that area till the Chinese make grounds to claim that it belongs to them , they destroy colars to make an island , worst part of it a lot of illegal activities has been discovered recently and Chinese people are rescued by Filipinos without torturing them instead of sending them home . I have seen a lot of Chinese in government hospitals that are more respected and cared for by the health workers and make sure that they get the medical attention they need and a lot of Chinese have this attitude they boss around.... Filipinos are generous enough but I don't know why they act too harshly toward us. Why can't we as two countries be friends? When a lot of Chinese have been married to Filipinos
China has no problem sharing fishing. Duterte and other administrations knew this. Unfortunately, Philippine is making excuse to steal the islands. Philippine had already stolen 11 islands, including Zhongye Island,and changed it to Pag Isa. Ph tries to scam the islands by smearing China.

I humbly ask the West to urgently recognize and support the Philippines and Taiwan in their struggle against China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea. China's expansive territorial claims and militarization of the region threaten vital international trade routes and undermine the sovereignty of neighboring nations, setting a dangerous precedent for the disregard of international norms. This not only destabilizes the Indo-Pacific region but also poses a significant risk to global security and economic stability. Upholding international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), is essential to ensure that disputes are resolved peacefully and justly, preventing unilateral actions that could lead to further conflict. We implore the West to stand with the Philippines and Taiwan to deter further coercion and assert a commitment to a rules-based international order. Such support would reinforce the principles of freedom of navigation and the peaceful resolution of disputes, which are crucial for maintaining regional and global stability. Please understand that inaction risks emboldening further territorial aggression, not only in the South China Sea but in other strategic regions worldwide. It is imperative for the West to take a firm stance in defense of international law and the sovereign rights of nations in the face of growing geopolitical tensions. We are begging for your help to safeguard our freedom, security, and integrity of international norms.
Geopolitics you say? Basic tenet of geopolitics is alliances form because of aligning national interests. Think China and the USSR during WW2. They begged for US aid to counter the Axis powers. Think Ukraine and the PH, Taiwan, SoKor, Japan, any other countries threatened by Russian and Chinese territorial ambitions. It's as old as the establishment of nation states. So dismissing this event as one minor nation becoming a "victim" of the US interests is simply ignoring the basics of geopolitics.
Philippines is not a separate issue the US has made the Philippines South Korea Japan a victim of Geopolitics of Taiwan in the south china sea because the US cannot confront China directly it can only provide military assistance to Taiwan Philippines South Korea and Japan to counter China,very similar to Ukraine where NATO cannot be inside Ukraine it can only provide military help,but in case of a war Philippines will become worse than Ukraine

It's not just China and the Philippines who has competing claims over SCS. There are plenty of overlapping claims, but China is the only one getting overly aggressive.
They should not even be there in the first place. Other claimants could have worked things out long ago, except SOMEONE was stirring the pot. 10 dash line is insane.
You're demonising China. China happened to be the last to reclaim its sovereign territory after Vietnam and the Philippines had claimed much of the spartly islands.
If there had not been a civil war in China, all the islands in the South China Sea would today be under the de facto control of China, and when Japan surrendered in 1945, Chinese forces effectively took over Japanese control of the entire South China Sea region.
However, as a result of the Chinese civil war, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei had the opportunity to seize control of some of the islands and pull up the sovereignty monuments that China had previously erected on various islands.
@@ofo101 Very unlikely. If the Chinese civil war didn't happen, Chinese mainland will remain split in two between the PRC and ROC - making the two governments more prone on land skirmishes between each other. If you want an alternate history where China did not split, then the official government would be the ROC which is an ally of USA. That means North Korea would not exist, and more importantly, China will be USA's first line of defense against the USSR in Asia. China, as an ally of USA in Cold War, would most likely be pre-occupied trying to control communism across its borders with Russia, thus giving South East Asian countries more opportunity to control SCS.

It's the joke of the century that Pinoy elite seals surrender without a fight.
When China claimed those islands belongs to China, neither Republic Philippines nor UN Law of the Sea exist.
There’s a cluster of island north of Philippines and south of Taiwan. If base on Chinese claim that there were Chinese fishing in South China Sea so they can claim it, how come those clusters of island north were not included in the 10 dash line? It’s impossible there’s no Chinese fishing in that part wherein most of Chinese migrated to Philippines settled in north area. If you put this together it doesn’t make sense at all.
The heart of the current tension between China and the Philippines is the grounded Philippine vessel BRP Sierra Madre in the second Thomas shoal. The ship was grounded in 1999 to maintain Philippine territorial claim. But it is now facing the risk of falling apart. The current Philippine govt is determined to reinforce the ship while China is determined to prevent the Philippines from doing so. This background is usually not explained in the news media.
How ridiculous. Chinese construct a new artificial island by the time the Philippines removes the grounded ships.

But such claims are not recognized by UNCLOS. The Chinese 9-dash line is not precisely defined. So it can not be taken seriously. What is being contested is the resources in what Philippine considers as its EEZ, which is a notion developed in more recent decades. So it's not a sacrosanct concept like the sovereignty of inhabited lands. This leaves more room for negotiations and compromise, which would be better than having a war over these reefs.

Document 578 of American Foreign Policy Basic Documents 1977-1980 is a 1979 letter to then-Philippine Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Romulo, in which Vance further clarified the U.S. legal interpretation of the MDT. He declared that armed attack under the MDT refers to external armed aggression against any part of Philippine metropolitan territory as defined by the 1898 Treaty of Paris between Spain and the U.S. and the 1900 Treaty of Washington between Great Britain and the U.S. (amended in 1930), as well as island territories in the Pacific that are under Philippine jurisdiction. Moreover, “armed attack on any Philippine armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific would not have to occur within the Philippine metropolitan territory or island territory under its jurisdiction in the Pacific in order to come within the definition of Pacific Area in Article V.” Thus, armed attack on said forces or vessels taking place in undisputed maritime areas in the South China Sea would fall within the scope of the MDT.
@@happymelon7129 "The United States reaffirms that Article IV of the 1951 United States-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty extends to armed attacks on Philippine armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft - including those of its Coast Guard - anywhere in the South China Sea."

@@WorkwithMe287 As early as 1975, then-U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger issued a memorandum-telegram laying down the “legal interpretation of MDT commitments” that U.S. commitments “do not repeat do not apply in event of attack on Spratlys or attack on GOP [Government of the Philippine] forces stationed there.” It cited two grounds: first, the Spratly Islands are not part of Philippine territory; and second, the Philippines is not a claimant in respect of the Spratly Islands.
They were in the Philippine Sea, its in the east of the Philippine islands, carrying out scheduled 10th valiant shield exercise, these are the powerful Ronald reagan carrier strike group 5, they also have guided missile ships.

Before people complain about China's coast guard enforcement operations, why was the Philippine armed force/Navy involved and violating China's sovereignty? Why were they carrying firearms? Philippine could have used the firearms first. Philippine might be transporting the weapons to the illegally shipwrecked warship for future use.
Previously, Philippine Navy and Coast Guard were the ones that uses deadly force on others. It’s the Philippine Coast Guard that had shot to death a Taiwanese fisherman in 2013 near Taiping Island which is an island administered by Taiwan. Also, Philippine also stole Taiwan’s Zhongye Dao/Pag-Asa during a storm. In addition, two Vietnamese fishermen died in 2017 in a tragic incident with the Philippine Navy.
Would people prefer to have China Coast Guard also use firearms (instead of knives) to carry out law enforcement operations, especially against Philippine Navy? China has been too kind and didn't want to cause any fatality, as firearms or other deadly/invasive operations would.
If you watched the video with audio, the Chinese coast guards asked ph military special force put the machine gun down. It’s obvious pH sent 80 military special force on attacking mission. Glad Chinese coast guards were able to keep them under control.

Filipino people have been fishing for decays in that area till the Chinese make grounds to claim that it belongs to them , they destroy colars to make an island , worst part of it a lot of illegal activities has been discovered recently and Chinese people are rescued by Filipinos without torturing them instead of sending them home . I have seen a lot of Chinese in government hospitals that are more respected and cared for by the health workers and make sure that they get the medical attention they need and a lot of Chinese have this attitude they boss around.... Filipinos are generous enough but I don't know why they act too harshly toward us. Why can't we as two countries be friends? When a lot of Chinese have been married to Filipinos

I humbly ask the West to urgently recognize and support the Philippines and Taiwan in their struggle against China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea. China's expansive territorial claims and militarization of the region threaten vital international trade routes and undermine the sovereignty of neighboring nations, setting a dangerous precedent for the disregard of international norms. This not only destabilizes the Indo-Pacific region but also poses a significant risk to global security and economic stability. Upholding international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), is essential to ensure that disputes are resolved peacefully and justly, preventing unilateral actions that could lead to further conflict.
We implore the West to stand with the Philippines and Taiwan to deter further coercion and assert a commitment to a rules-based international order. Such support would reinforce the principles of freedom of navigation and the peaceful resolution of disputes, which are crucial for maintaining regional and global stability. Please understand that inaction risks emboldening further territorial aggression, not only in the South China Sea but in other strategic regions worldwide. It is imperative for the West to take a firm stance in defense of international law and the sovereign rights of nations in the face of growing geopolitical tensions. We are begging for your help to safeguard our freedom, security, and integrity of international norms.

Think Ukraine and the PH, Taiwan, SoKor, Japan, any other countries threatened by Russian and Chinese territorial ambitions. It's as old as the establishment of nation states. So dismissing this event as one minor nation becoming a "victim" of the US interests is simply ignoring the basics of geopolitics.
Philippines is not a separate issue the US has made the Philippines South Korea Japan a victim of Geopolitics of Taiwan in the south china sea because the US cannot confront China directly it can only provide military assistance to Taiwan Philippines South Korea and Japan to counter China,very similar to Ukraine where NATO cannot be inside Ukraine it can only provide military help,but in case of a war Philippines will become worse than Ukraine

Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, and other claimant within ASEAN should come to agreement among ourselves about these area and then call it The ASEAN Sea.

As early as 1975, then-U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger issued a memorandum-telegram laying down the “legal interpretation of MDT commitments” that U.S. commitments “do not repeat do not apply in event of attack on Spratlys or attack on GOP [Government of the Philippine] forces stationed there.” It cited two grounds: first, the Spratly Islands are not part of Philippine territory; and second, the Philippines is not a claimant in respect of the Spratly Islands.

If you really understand history, you should check out who was originally stationed on this island, and then evacuated from the island because of the storm.
Only Filipinos took over this island.

What are the changes? What misunderstanding? It is already declared in the laws for the international seas. No need to debate about it.

Biden in 2022:”China wants to be the top country in the world, that’s not going to happen under my watch”
Uncle Sam has been telling our leaders to fight China. Honestly, why should we do that for Uncle Sam’s agenda. Fortunate, there’s BongBong, whose father has a lot of corrupted assets in the States, so we don’t have to be the pawn. But sorry, Filipinos. Can’t blame others, you let the same family loot you twice.
do you want to be a lecture from me? Yes. china is the top trades of Vietnam and Philippines, but trades usually natural resources which china benefited the most, do you know that china investment in Vietnam and Philippines are the lowest among ASEAN. Which china don't want us to get more progress, china want to control. Sadly china fails in Philippines economy cos we are not relying on china economy and investments.
China wants to invest in the Philippines but the Philippines has a very demanding requirement for foreign investment and very strict labour laws, which deter foreign investors not only the Chinese investors. China invests tremendously in Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia instead.
@@GoodCitizen-gm1tl is that so, why the same with Vietnam?
Vietnam is open economy already.
We knew already what is china intentions. I just saw the data, Vietnam and Philippines are the lowest investment from china among 10 countries.
ASEAN needs to decouple from China.
As a Chinese,setting aside nationalism, in my personal opinion, to solve the South China Sea issue, both China and the Philippines need to give up some proposals appropriately in order to reach a permanent agreement. Any third-party intervention can only make the problem more complex.
problem is, China can easily overpower their smaller neighbors both militarily and economically. The fact that the area is already recognized by international courts as a Philippine territory and China simply doesn't recognize it tells you that they will not give this up
look at a map, how can China have any claim to that area?
The previous administration carried it out, making a friendlier approach to China, but ultimately the Philippines suffered a backstab.
Is this a joke? You can't talk with a bully like China that simply takes it all because they have a bigger military. China is getting worse by the minute.
@@thegreatdane3627 if you Google thitu island you will find the reason. China make the first claim over it. before Philippines did. but Philippines navy took it in 1970s.
now if the Philippines want to talk about sea. we should discuss island first because the line of sea is based on that. sadly Philippines don't want to negotiate the whole problem.
Guess why it is called the South China Sea instead of the Philippine Sea.😂😂 Western media have consistently distorted reports.
Does anybody know that China had been claiming the South China Sea as its own territory and traditional fishing fields long before the Philipines became a country. The former PH president maintained a very good relationship with China despite the dispute, until this pro-America president Macos. It's crystal clear who is the shady troublemaker here.
Bringing history? China belonged to the British then,
Hitting back ???? Or back down from previous tone. Have you read the news yet, Philippine senior official call the incident a MISS UNDERSTANDING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a shame!
i love this reporting! full of facts and truths. ( every country should expose the real China CCP terrible acts )
You clearly know about as much as DW on the situation and that is nothing. It's about nuclear brinkmanship. Haiman Island is the home of the Chinese submarine fleet. It's built into a mountain James Bond style. So this dispute is not about fish, oil or anything. It's about detecting Chinese Jin class submarines (boomers) before they can reach open sea and disappear into the Marianas trench. Maybe i've said too much someone is banging on the door ?

He declared that armed attack under the MDT refers to external armed aggression against any part of Philippine metropolitan territory as defined by the 1898 Treaty of Paris between Spain and the U.S. and the 1900 Treaty of Washington between Great Britain and the U.S. (amended in 1930), as well as island territories in the Pacific that are under Philippine jurisdiction. Moreover, “armed attack on any Philippine armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific would not have to occur within the Philippine metropolitan territory or island territory under its jurisdiction in the Pacific in order to come within the definition of Pacific Area in Article V.” Thus, armed attack on said forces or vessels taking place in undisputed maritime areas in the South China Sea would fall within the scope of the MDT.

This report is either deliberately biased or incompetent. The Chinese official media reported that Philippines vessels were carrying construction material in an attempt to build up the wrecked ship into a permanent structure. The DW reporter also played on words to make it sound like the Chinese cut off a Philippino sailor’s finger when in fact his injury was probably an accident.
The US should send warships to defend the area.
@gabrielpennosar: To fight your battles for you? Why don't you do it yourself? After all, it is your country and waters.
The US fought and many died just keeping McArthurs promise to you and took the Philippines back from the Japanese. In return, you eventually kicked the US out. That cost the US $103B dollars for bases lost. You turned around and leased Subic Bay to the Chinese. Now you're whining and want the US to protect you again? GFY!
