The U.S. Embassy and Consulates in China wrote today (May 22): "'The United States stands with the Philippines. We once again condemn China's dangerous and illegal actions in the South China Sea. We urge China to abide by the 2016 arbitration award.' Ambassador Seay stated this at a United Nations Security Council open debate."
[Wit] Comment: The Chinese side has repeatedly made it clear that the so-called 'rulings' of the South China Sea arbitration are completely illegal and invalid, and China firmly does not accept or recognize them. Nine years ago, the United States and the Philippines schemed meticulously and colluded secretly to carefully put together a so-called 'provisional makeshift arbitration tribunal'. From its very inception, it completely deviated from the normal procedures and justice principles of international law. The so-called 'ruling' result was nothing but a well-planned farce with political purposes in mind.
