The Philippines has welcomed the report released by the United States Department of State that affirmed China’s maritime claims in the South China Sea have “no legal basis.”

The Philippines has welcomed the report released by the United States Department of State that affirmed China’s maritime claims in the South China Sea have “no legal basis.”“We welcome the affirmation of the 2016 Arbitral Award by the US State Department’s Limits in the Seas No. 150: People’s Republic of China: Maritime Claims in the South China Sea,” the Department of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Friday, Jan. 21.

It is also consistent with the Philippines-US Joint Vision Statement issued on Nov. 16 last year, which asserts the same position over China’s maritime claims. The study stated that the four categories of maritime claims China is asserting such as the sovereignty claims over maritime features, straight baselines, maritime zones, and historic rights, are “inconsistent with international law” and “has no legal basis.”

Vice Chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Committee of China’s 13th National People’s Congress Fu Ying said “China cannot accept the South China Sea Arbitration because it’s not fair.”
