Dumb. UN Convention on Law of the Sea. I appreciate the free flow of goods and safe travel of people on the high seas.

What the PRC is doing is taking a shit on the internationally recognized ability to sail freely on the high seas (and in Vietnam and PI’s case - in their own territorial waters). So everyone who is complaining about Israel taking a shit on the UN better look at what China is doing in the SCS. Same, same.

I’ll just leave this here.

UNCLOS

Ignore the down votes. This is dead nuts accurate.

And this is just one of myriad such examples.
