Do you think the territorial sea extends 200nm?
I think that's more plausible than China's claim that their exclusive economic zone stretches over a thousand miles off their coast, and supercedes both Vietnams and the Philippines exclusive economic zones.....
Glad that we agree that the South China Sea is entirely vibes-driven and has no foundation in international law.
Nah, there's pretty clear rules. It's just that the main power in the region tends to ignore them when it suits them. Again, how is the Philippine government breaking international law?
IIRC you're not allowed to set up territorial military outposts in EEZ, so OP is correct that the Philippines government is violating international law.
According to who?
(a) artificial islands;
(b) installations and structures for the purposes provided for in article 56 and other economic purposes;
(c) installations and structures which may interfere with the exercise of the rights of the coastal State in the zone.
Can you link what article that falls under?
