IF the Philippines has 22 countries on its side, China has claimed that “more than 100 countries” are supporting them in debunking the ruling of the Arbitration Tribunal in the South China Sea.
Wang was reacting to a query during the daily press conference in Beijing about the statement of support issued by countries including the United States, Japan, Australia, United Kingdom and France for the Philippines on its legal victory against China before international arbitration court. “Many internationally authoritative law experts and scholars, including former president of the International Court of Justice and former judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, have written articles to point out the serious flaws in the award,” Wang said.
“The US ropes in allies to play up the issue each year on the anniversary of the illegal award to gang up against China and to exert pressure, and force China into accepting the award. We are firmly against this,” the Embassy said in a separate statement. Beijing reiterated its earlier statement that the arbitration ruling “violated the principle of consent, exercised its jurisdiction ultra vires and rendered an award in disregard of the law.”
