The Chinese claims are so over the top ridiculous that at some point I have to imagine they will see reason. I mean just look at what they are claiming! Their claimed dash line isn’t even close to their shores and passes by a number of countries. Absolutely incredible to think they have a claim like that.
The Phillipines is deliberately creating tension by not rolling over and accepting China’s unilateral annexations of areas of the SCS they have never had any claim to.
