From the beginning, it did not accept or participate in the South China Sea arbitration case unilaterally initiated by the Philippines, to its position of non-recognition and non-implementation of the so-called “award results” In the face of the South China Sea arbitration, China has solemnly stated its four “no” position on many occasions.

Why did China say “no”? In the view of analysts in Beijing, the so-called South China Sea arbitration case has set a “dangerous precedent” and China must respond resolutely in order to safeguard China’s legitimate rights and interests in the South China Sea, the dignity of the international rule of law, and regional peace and stability.
Reason 1: Fighting back without jurisdiction and invalid ruling
“This temporary arbitral tribunal should not have existed from the beginning.” Wang Fan, vice president of the China Foreign Affairs University, said that the case was planned and manipulated by the Philippine Aquino III government by extraterritorial forces led by the United States. , a so-called arbitration case initiated unilaterally without China’s consent, reneging on the agreement between China and the Philippines to resolve disputes through bilateral negotiations, and violating the commitments in the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
After explaining the relevant international legal basis, Wang Fan pointed out that there is no doubt that the so-called arbitral tribunal has no jurisdiction, and the so-called award is directly For the sake of China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, it attempts to harm China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.

“It has no jurisdiction from the beginning, and now it has made an invalid award. The arbitral tribunal is like this Who is this drama for? Do you really hope to use a useless ruling to pressure China to make concessions on territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea? This is really wishful thinking,” Wang Fan said.
After the announcement of the so-called “arbitration results” of the arbitral tribunal, the Chinese government issued a statement on its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea, clarifying It pointed out that China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea include: China has sovereignty over the South China Sea Islands, including the Dongsha Islands, Paracel Islands, Zhongsha Islands and Nansha Islands; China’s South China Sea Islands have internal waters, territorial waters and contiguous zones; the South China Sea The islands have exclusive economic zones and continental shelves; China has historic rights in the South China Sea.
When elaborating on the essence of the case, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi pointed out that the South China Sea arbitration case was a legal dispute from beginning to end. Political farce.
Reason 2: Maintaining international rule of law and regional rules
Looking at this so-called arbitration from a legal perspective, international law gives countries the right to independently choose dispute settlement methods; the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that member states have the right to exclude compulsory jurisdiction procedures; the “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” signed by China and the ten ASEAN countries The Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea clearly stipulates that specific disputes should be resolved through dialogue and negotiation by the countries directly concerned…
China South China Sea Research Institute President Wu Shicun pointed out that the establishment of the arbitral tribunal lacked legitimacy and had no jurisdiction over this case. Its ruling clearly expanded and exceeded its powers. This “dangerous precedent” harmed the international rule of law and undermined regional rules.
“China’s four ‘no’ positions have sufficient legal basis, comply with the norms of the international maritime law system, and are acting entirely in accordance with the law. It is to safeguard the international rule of law and regional rules in accordance with the law.” Wu Shicun said.
According to media statistics, as of July 11, about 70 countries have publicly understood and supported China’s position on the South China Sea issue. and claims. After the so-called arbitration results were released, Cambodia, Pakistan and other countries have successively spoken out in support of China’s position. 【210D Oxford cloth】
Reason 3: Committed to negotiations and regional stability
After the release of the so-called arbitration results, China officially stated its position that as a builder of international order and a defender of regional peace, China will continue to adhere to international law and negotiate peace through negotiations between the parties directly involved. resolve disputes; insist on safeguarding the freedom of navigation and overflight enjoyed by all countries in accordance with the law; insist on the comprehensive and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and advance the consultation process on the “Code of Conduct in the South China Sea” within this framework.
Gong Yingchun, an international law expert at the China Foreign Affairs University, pointed out that “the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.” The situation in the South China Sea has become complicated, external forces have frequently intervened, neighboring countries have become increasingly divided, and people’s livelihood in the region has been affected. “This is an attempt to abuse the rules of a certain convention to resolve complex historical and political disputes. The result of the abuse is to threaten regional peace and stability.
“South China Sea”Bringing the regional situation into a dangerous situation that intensifies tension and confrontation is not in the interests of China or the Philippines, and may even endanger the common interests of regional countries and the entire international community. Wang Fan pointed out.
At present, the new Philippine government has made a series of statements, including its willingness to resume consultation and dialogue with China on the South China Sea issue. .As Wang Yi said, now, this farce is over and it is time to get back on the right track.
