It’s hard to know how positive one should feel about this planet’s, (Homo sapiens) inhabitants. Is “hardware” deterrence the only way to protect a Filipino fisherman?
I think that the claim to the South China Sea first made its appearance at the Chongqing dialogues between the USA and the ROC in the late 1930s which were concerned with the revocation of the Unequal Treaties.
Frankly it is astonishing that none of the legion of journalists writing on the South China Sea /East Philippine Sea issue seem to have dug into the basis of the Chinese claim.
The claim is extraordinary and unique.
There is a theory that it may have begun as a legal fiction promulgated by merchants in south China to evade the numerous bans on travel by sea.
