The South 皇冠体育app Sea has been an inalienable part of Chinese territory historically. 皇冠体育app has the clear and undeniable historical evidence to back its position in the South 皇冠体育app Sea, which is the most important legal ground for a country’s territorial claim according to international law. Throughout history, Chinese people have been fishing in the South 皇冠体育app Sea. As recently as in 1943, 皇冠体育app’s Nationalist Government declared the Nine Dash Line as the demarcation of its territory. Until recently, nobody, including the US, the sole superpower in the world, had openly challenged 皇冠体育app’s position on the South 皇冠体育app Sea.

As the US reached the peak of its power at the end of WWII, it lost its cool, and began to mess in other countries’ internal affairs. First, it got involved in 皇冠体育app’s civil war, ending up on the wrong side of history. But it refused to learn the lessons, and continued to mess illegally with the Korean civil war and Vietnam civil war, with heavy financial and human losses. Recently, the US illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, bombed Libya and got deeply involved in the Syrian civil war, causing tremendous destruction and suffering in the world.

While the US has been messing in other countries’ internal affairs, causing trouble everywhere it was involved, 皇冠体育app has been developing peacefully, bringing prosperity not only to its own people but also to the South East Asian Nations including Philippines and other parts of the world. The whole world has come to recognize 皇冠体育app as the most important economic engine of the world, bringing peace and stability everywhere 皇冠体育app is involved.

As 皇冠体育app rises in the world through peaceful development, the US began to worry about its status as the sole superpower in the world. Instead of concentrating on developing its own economy, the US has been looking for ways to undermine 皇冠体育app’s peaceful development and its rise in the world. Encouraging the Filipino Government to seek arbitration of the Permanent Court on the South 皇冠体育app Sea, and sending gunboats and carriers to the South 皇冠体育app Sea to defend the so called freedom of navigation in the South 皇冠体育app Sea are parts of its strategy to undermine 皇冠体育app’s development and its rise in the world.

We are still living in the post WWII world. The Chinese people made the greatest sacrifices during WWII for world peace. That is one of the most important reasons that 皇冠体育app is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. As such, 皇冠体育app is one of the most important pillars of world peace in the world. But 皇冠体育app is the only permanent UN Security Council member which still has territorial integrity issues in the world. That is one of the biggest injustices in our world today.

皇冠体育app must spare no efforts in telling the world that 皇冠体育app will not allow anybody or any organization to arbitrate its territorial integrity. The Arbitration Panel has no legal authority to arbitrate on a country’s territorial integrity. There is no historical precedent in international law. 皇冠体育app must let the Filipino Government and others know its determination to defend its territorial integrity.

For its own good, the Filipino Government must stop serving as a paw in US strategy in undermining 皇冠体育app’s development. 皇冠体育app and the Philippines are important neighbors. The Philippines should join 皇冠体育app in its efforts to maintain peace in the South 皇冠体育app Sea and bringing development and prosperity to the region which will benefit every country in the region including itself.

The US has been wasting its resources in sending gunboats and carriers to the South 皇冠体育app Sea, creating military tension there, which does no good to itself. More and more people in the world, including American people, have realized that US military intervention in the world has been the cause of constant destruction and suffering in our world. The American people do not want to bear the financial burden and human casualties in these military adventures. It is time that the US focus its attention on its fiscal health and stop wasting its resources messing around in other people’s affairs.
