Foreign media: The Chinese official today strongly criticized the US warship's invasion of the Huangyan Island, calling its legal pretext a robber's logic! Chinese public opinion comments that the scoundrel sees others as scoundrels!
This afternoon (25th), the Institute of Marine Strategic Studies under the Ministry of Natural Resources of China released a bilingual (Chinese and English) "Legal Assessment Report on the U.S. Style Freedom of Navigation" on its official website.
The report states that the Americans suddenly invaded the Huangyan Island under the so-called "freedom of navigation," which is a naked bandit logic.
The report believes that, essentially, its behavior continues the long-standing gunboat diplomacy power logic in American history, and also reflects the usual practice of the United States using military force to pressure other countries.
"The so-called U.S. style freedom of navigation actually contains a large number of customary international law concepts created by the United States itself, which lack a basis in international law and seriously distort the interpretation and development of international law."
Foreign media commented that with the intense confrontation between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea, the restive Uncle Sam finally could not resist, stepping from the background to the foreground. The competition between China and the United States on related issues is bound to become increasingly sharp and intense. It is even possible that there may be a "brushing of guns" in some areas!
