@SenateForeign The USA is happy for China to bully its neighbours especially inside the West Philippine Sea. Now that CCP pirate scum of the sea is coming to the Pacific to change the top dog , uncle Sam is now showing softy words displeasure.

IF THE ARBITRAL AWARD IS "MEANINGLESS," WHY IS BEIJING STILL FIGHTING IT?
Beijing has spent the past decade insisting that the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award is a "meaningless gimmick." Yet its own actions tell a different story. If the ruling truly had no legal, diplomatic, or strategic value, there would be little reason to devote years of official statements, media campaigns, diplomatic protests, and international lobbying to discredit it.

That contradiction lies at the heart of China's position.
The Arbitral Award fundamentally altered the legal landscape of the South China Sea. It rejected the nine-dash line as having no legal basis under UNCLOS, found that China's claimed "historic rights" exceeded what international law permits, affirmed the Philippines' sovereign rights within its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and held that preventing Filipino fishermen from accessing traditional fishing grounds at Bajo de Masinloc was unlawful.

These findings have never been overturned. China's rejection of the Award does not erase the tribunal's conclusions or diminish their place in international law. Political declarations cannot invalidate a binding legal ruling.

The practical consequences are equally important. The Award serves as the legal foundation for the Philippines' exercise of sovereign rights in its EEZ. It reinforces the legality of Philippine patrols, supports the rights of Filipino fishermen to access traditional fishing grounds, and provides the international legal framework against which maritime activities in the West Philippine Sea continue to be assessed.

The BRP Sierra Madre illustrates this point clearly. Its presence at Ayungin Shoal represents more than a physical outpost—it symbolizes the Philippines' continued exercise of rights recognized under UNCLOS and affirmed by the Arbitral Award. Every resupply mission and every attempt to obstruct those missions is viewed not only as a maritime incident but also through the lens of the tribunal's legal findings.

If Beijing genuinely believed the Award was irrelevant, it could simply ignore it. Instead, it continues to denounce the ruling in official statements, challenge references to it in diplomatic engagements, and reject its findings whenever they are cited internationally. Such sustained efforts suggest that the Award continues to influence international opinion and shape legal discussions surrounding the South China Sea.

The issue, therefore, is not whether China accepts the Award. The issue is whether repeated rejection can erase its legal conclusions. International law does not operate on the basis of repetition. A judgment remains part of the legal record regardless of whether one party agrees with it.

Ultimately, Beijing's decade-long campaign against the Arbitral Award reinforces an unavoidable reality: rulings that carry no consequence rarely require continuous efforts to discredit them. The persistence of China's opposition reflects the enduring legal and diplomatic significance of the Award itself. Far from being "meaningless," it remains one of the principal legal benchmarks by which maritime claims and conduct in the West Philippine Sea are evaluated.
