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.
Thank you for writing this.
