The Arbitral Tribunal has no jurisdiction on the south China sea issue

The Arbitral Tribunal has no jurisdiction on this issue and its handling of the case is willful expansion and abuse of power. Therefore, China does not accept or recognize such arbitration which has been illegal from the very beginning.The Philippine government’s action can hardly be seen as being a responsible one. As we say in China, “people can come and go, but neighbors stay.” This saying is especially true for a country. China has, since ancient times, adopted a good neighborly foreign policy and has settled its land boundaries with most of its neighbors in the past decades through friendly consultation and negotiations. China and the Philippines are close neighbors and have enjoyed long-time traditional friendship. China is confident that its disputes with the Philippines in the South China Sea should and can only be settled through bilateral consultation and negotiation. Only in this way, can the settlement be lasting and stand the test of times. Even though China has indisputable sovereignty over the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, bearing in mind that the two countries do have disputes on the issue, it still advocates to shelve the disputes for the time being and engage in joint development. This act of good intentions should be appreciated by the Philippines, not the contrary. ------>||source:http://www.anseryan.com/news/467.html
