China has been claiming a huge part of the territory of the Philippines over the South China Sea or also known as the West Philippine Sea, they are justifying their claim by saying that they have a historical right over that certain area due to the "9 dash line". However, following the UNCLOS, it is clear that the Philippines is the one that has right over that certain area. I want to know your stand and please do provide some supporting legal basis.

I think in all aspects the Philippines has really shown that it has supporting evidences which points that we have the right and the ownership for those territories. However i think that china has not heeded the call and has blatantly put up bases on it against the hague ruling.

South China Sea should be shared by all the neighboring nations - Vietnam, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. But the problem is that they want 90% of it for themselves and will not refrain from using force to invade the islands which belong to the other nations. Countries other than China should unite to teach them a lesson.
