| Tribunal: No Basis For China's Vast South China Sea Claims |
| 2016-07-13 |
| A tribunal ruled in a sweeping decision Tuesday that China has no legal basis for its vast claims in the South China Sea and had aggravated the seething regional dispute with its extensive construction of artificial islands that destroyed coral reefs and infringed on the Philippines' exclusive economic zone. China immediately rejected the arbitration findings, and their impact remained unclear as there is no policing agency or mechanism to enforce them. While the ruling cannot reverse China's actions, it still constitutes a rebuke, carrying with it the force of the international community's opinion. It also gives heart to small countries in Asia that have helplessly chafed at China's expansionism, backed by its military and economic power. |

| #3 Its all but too late for the South China Sea - the Bammer has several months to continue empowering the US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO Globalist agenda, wid every indication that he will do so. New PH President Duterte is accused of being Pro-China + Pro-Gobalist, so everyone is waiting to see what PCorrect concessions he will make. GET READY FOR DE FACTO MILITARY TROUBLE IN THE EAST CHINA SEA + TAIWAN. When Beijing is finished wid its construction activities in the SCS it will turn its attention full-monty to the East China Sea, the Senkakus + Okinawa + Taiwan 2018 - 2022. THE PLA MAY SUFFER SOME SETBACKS IN THE BEGINNING BUT CHINA WILL KEEP COMING BACK, STRONGER + BETTER PREPARED EACH TIME. AS CHINA GETS STRONGER IN EAST ASIA-WESTPAC, THE US MAY GET WEAKER, ESPEC IFF UNDER GLOBALIST CONTROL. TIME TO STOP THE GLOBALIST DANGER IS NOW! |
