https://www.state.gov/u-s-position-on-maritime-claims-in-the-south-china-sea/#.XwyvPt-yomM.twitter The United States champions a free and open Indo-Pacific. Today we are strengthening U.S. policy in a vital, contentious part of that region — the South China Sea. We are making clear: Beijing’s claims to offshore resources across most of the South China Sea are completely unlawful, as is its campaign of bullying to control them. In the South China Sea, we seek to preserve peace and stability, uphold freedom of the seas in a manner consistent with international law, maintain the unimpeded flow of commerce, and oppose any attempt to use coercion or force to settle disputes. We share these deep and abiding interests with our many allies and partners who have long endorsed a rules-based international order. These shared interests have come under unprecedented threat from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Beijing uses intimidation to undermine the sovereign rights of Southeast Asian coastal states in the South China Sea, bully them out of offshore resources, assert unilateral dominion, and replace international law with “might makes right.” Beijing’s approach has been clear for years. In 2010, then-PRC Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told his ASEAN counterparts that “China is a big country and other countries are small countries and that is just a fact.” The PRC’s predatory world view has no place in the 21st century. The PRC has no legal grounds to unilaterally impose its will on the region. Beijing has offered no coherent legal basis for its “Nine-Dashed Line” claim in the South China Sea since formally announcing it in 2009. In a unanimous decision on July 12, 2016, an Arbitral Tribunal constituted under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention – to which the PRC is a state party – rejected the PRC’s maritime claims as having no basis in international law. The Tribunal sided squarely with the Philippines, which brought the arbitration case, on almost all claims. As the United States has previously stated, and as specifically provided in the Convention, the Arbitral Tribunal’s decision is final and legally binding on both parties. Today we are aligning the U.S. position on the PRC’s maritime claims in the SCS with the Tribunal’s decision. Specifically: The PRC cannot lawfully assert a maritime claim – including any Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) claims derived from Scarborough Reef and the Spratly Islands – vis-a-vis the Philippines in areas that the Tribunal found to be in the Philippines’ EEZ or on its continental shelf. Beijing’s harassment of Philippine fisheries and offshore energy development within those areas is unlawful, as are any unilateral PRC actions to exploit those resources. In line with the Tribunal’s legally binding decision, the PRC has no lawful territorial or maritime claim to Mischief Reef or Second Thomas Shoal, both of which fall fully under the Philippines’ sovereign rights and jurisdiction, nor does Beijing have any territorial or maritime claims generated from these features. As Beijing has failed to put forth a lawful, coherent maritime claim in the South China Sea, the United States rejects any PRC claim to waters beyond a 12-nautical mile territorial sea derived from islands it claims in the Spratly Islands (without prejudice to other states’ sovereignty claims over such islands). As such, the United States rejects any PRC maritime claim in the waters surrounding Vanguard Bank (off Vietnam), Luconia Shoals (off Malaysia), waters in Brunei’s EEZ, and Natuna Besar (off Indonesia). Any PRC action to harass other states’ fishing or hydrocarbon development in these waters – or to carry out such activities unilaterally – is unlawful. The PRC has no lawful territorial or maritime claim to (or derived from) James Shoal, an entirely submerged feature only 50 nautical miles from Malaysia and some 1,000 nautical miles from China’s coast. James Shoal is often cited in PRC propaganda as the “southernmost territory of China.” International law is clear: An underwater feature like James Shoal cannot be claimed by any state and is incapable of generating maritime zones. James Shoal (roughly 20 meters below the surface) is not and never was PRC territory, nor can Beijing assert any lawful maritime rights from it. The world will not allow Beijing to treat the South China Sea as its maritime empire. America stands with our Southeast Asian allies and partners in protecting their sovereign rights to offshore resources, consistent with their rights and obligations under international law. We stand with the international community in defense of freedom of the seas and respect for sovereignty and reject any push to impose “might makes right” in the South China Sea or the wider region.

国际法庭早就仲裁了，中共输了，但是还是继续军事扩张。搞得现在东盟也反了。
那之后怎么办呢？ 会不会打起来？
回到奥巴马时代呗，再慢慢把被出卖后被迫倒向TG的东盟各国再拉回来～～ 现在的感觉，反而是美国孤家寡人vs拉着一大帮小弟的TG， 战后几十年的经营，就被一任总统拆得精光。
我感觉的意思是给前线开火权了？
我们轮子high翻了，今晚点几个外卖开几瓶啤酒看tg笑话！
真是美国罪人，当时大概真是被土共脑控了才决定在南海缩的
另外，中国的疆域，用的应当其实是中华民国的版图，应当还是有一定理由的。
你是哪里的？字数字数
这位说说中国一帮小弟在哪儿？就中国在国际上屁大点事儿都不敢出头的怂货还有小弟你这是想侮辱别国领导人的智商吗？
中国就是一个送钱的冤大头
之前有报道说，已经给过了。在南海巡航的美国航母和军舰，对于直接的安全威胁，或者有理由认为有直接安全威胁的，可以使用武力全力遏制。
那外蒙古不得回来，打得过外蒙古，打不过俄罗斯啊。老毛子一手把外蒙古独立出去的啊
印度不加东盟，但跟中国开战，很难得利。其他国家，基本都最低程度，不想跟中国谈崩，更无意开战。美国下一步就是航母过去转一下， 应当没有太大行动
大妈又来现—50智商，越南菲律宾印尼一堆国家和中国在南海较劲到你这就成无意起争端了
嗯， 消息没宣布几分钟我认识的几个菲律宾人都纷纷转发点赞了， 两个都提到奥巴牛总统早就应该这么做了。
还回到奥巴马时代？不是08八年孜孜不倦的“努力”，海军会被伊朗人拿枪指着下跪？你们恨之入骨槽点那么多的川普会当总统？
二百斤很可能会打台湾
是的。不可能让出九段线的，这是底限。北京如果让步了，肯定被骂死。
obama最喜欢的就是在国际事务上让步
外蒙是国民政府和苏联签了条约丢掉了，虽然是不平等条约，但总归白纸黑字不好抵赖。
南海不管哪任政府可是没有任何条约签字，真正属于争议领土。
TG要他们同仇敌忾他们才能同仇敌忾
不是灭志气 共军打不过美军 装备供给都不行。
两百斤多厉害，比我的国还厉害。

台湾应该尊重美国的决定，退出太平岛给越南或者菲律宾。彰显跟大陆的不同
大不了南海就和64一样以后在墙内成禁词，谁敢提就嫖娼罪抓紧去
内什么，我作为华人大妈有一个卑微的请求，你能不能把那个ID从华人大妈里摘出去？
港澳都没有了，只要拿下台湾，二百斤就能名垂千古，你觉得他会放弃？
楼上一堆自恨党真心反华反到脑进水。。 9段线又不是TG划的。。。 至于人工岛礁那更是东南亚几个国家先在那里折腾了几十年，TG一直抗议了几十年。。。
欢迎北美地下室撸瑟
一月份捐献给一线医生的口罩被红十字截流CCP被骂死了吗？

这线画的不让别人活了嘛，好在有美国在，不然南海一众小国还不被CCP欺负死。
我不住地下室你死全家！
虽然我认为他真的不敢打，但若能给十八国联军干死共军的借口也不错哈
不管是9段线，还是11段线，都是没有国际法支持，违反联合国海洋公约的。 你说破大天，也没法把海底十几米的曾母暗沙说成“自古以来”的。
所以本来中国在南海一向低调，反对国际化，主张双边谈判。 而美国在南海的存在，和国际法的公理，是东盟小国们抵抗TG霸凌的盾牌。 梁博士上台后大跃进，南海秀肌肉，奥巴马别无选择只能跟TG当面硬怼。 到了川普，这是个没节操的，立刻退出， 于是TG不但如愿以偿把海疆的国际问题变成了双边问题， 而且在南海填海造岛，划分行政区，也没人管了。
现在三年后美国重回南海，也算是亡羊补牢吧。
戳到你们撸瑟痛点了，这么悲愤，哈哈哈
天朝的小弟在一带一路，分分钟拿不到钱就要倒戈的那种。
最搞笑的是一个水下二十米的暗礁宣称是自己领土，简直是不要脸到家了
我觉得正常情况下他没胆子打，除非统治不下去了狗急跳墙
虽然现在是美国人了，但比起东南亚那些国家，还是更亲近中国。
你们这些没文化的，难怪要做轮子，九段线是蒋介石划的!
是的呀，我支持中国大陆成为中华民国一部分。也支持南海是中华民国领土。
你连绿卡都没摸过，还号称美国人了，非美国人号称自己是美国人是非法的哦。
对了，美国没土工流氓没有国安三十八条，果然你就敢在廊坊叫自己是美国人了。
真当历史是没记忆的吗，当初仲裁案结果出来后是谁让美国舰队在南海缩的，菲律宾为什么和美国交恶而转向土共，大声的告诉我当时坐在总统位置上的是谁
中華民國畫的是 11 段線。
同意你说的。博士太S. B. 了，不懂得江湖两人的治国之道。在南海制约中国，美国还是费力不赚钱的。当然，如果看成战争，那就另说。现大形势，中国也回不到过去跟美国友好的状态了。
美国控制是为了本国利益，但中国在南海是命脉，两家肯出的价钱不一样，我看形势是中国会得手。
不管谁划的都一样，都是违反国际法和公理的。
我认为大陆一直是承认这点的。
南海在清末之前从来都没有没中国控制过，国民政府上台也没有完全控制住，知道日本军队侵略帜东南亚彻底失去对南海主权，是美国军队的太平洋战争打败了日本，南海控制权至此到了美军手中，这是美军伤亡7.5万人，损失飞机763架，舰艇404艘的代价换来的，二战胜利后讲控制权又转交给国民政府，条件是南海自由航行
区区建国七十年的共产党在整个南海控制权未出过一个士兵，未打过一枪一弹，就妄想南海主权，真是不自量力恬不知耻！
对，蒋公地图开疆开了11条线， 还有2条线，被TG拿去送给越南了。
obama?
这个民族的特性就这样，非得让人打得满地找牙，然后擦干了血，再回家关起门来打自己的老婆和孩子，而且更狠毒
显然是trump发功扎小人让黑驴不由自主下的命令
加拿大ID当年被美国拒签的心里创伤还没有愈合啊……
二百变二百五了
re，九段线/十一段线都没有法理依据
有事说事，动辄职责别人轮子五毛没意思。
所以越南其实一直不怎么吭声，只是拼命造岛。因为如果真因为这个开打，中国肯定会考虑重新声明回来。
昨天菲律宾才怒中共，绝对不接受任何对2016的联合国南海总裁的结果讨价还价，任何更改或妥协。
1）联合国海洋公约这种美国自己都不承认的东西？
2）中国南海划线的时候，东南亚根本就没几个独立国家。。都还是一堆殖民地。。。 连主权国家都没有，哪来的legitimate Territorial claim, 他们的法理依据岂不是更加扯淡。。
3）南海填岛/人工建筑，东南亚国家在那里折腾几十年了，中国抗议了几十年，那时候美国在哪？ 中国有能力后，也跑去填岛，美国立马跳出来。。赤裸裸就是找借口拉偏架罢了。。
4）南海问题，现在并不是东南亚各国主动要求美国保护，而是美国想围堵中国，主动怂恿东南亚国家跟进
5）长远看，美国势力不可能长期维持在南海。。
你认识的是菲律宾轮子吧？
上次也看到有人在youtube上这样自作多情，被几个台湾id谢绝了。人家小国寡民过得惬意安康，大一统已经不是大多数人的民意，他们觉得各自为政最好。我们总喜欢非此即彼和一厢情愿。
说的很好，很全面！
你不是翻墙你把海华和自己对立起来干啥？翻墙狗时不时总露出红屁股被海鞭打，该！
我要不住地下室你死全家，你一定死全家哦！
轮子你妹啊。蒋公画的是11段线，同样不合理。
你党送了两段给越南，但剩下的不还是继承了么？依然不合理啊，蒋公画的就合理？
美国不反对大岛所有权，但不承认岛12海里以外的部分
奥巴马为了对付TG，采取重回亚洲战略，组建TPP，在大选年受到TG和美国国内保守派的一致批评， 希拉里为了选票，不得不收缩，说起来还是保守派姑息养奸作的孽。
那你这个轮子赶紧在大陆自曝去天安门升中华民国国旗再跑新华门自焚以实际行动反攻大陆
正常啊，我是菲律宾我也这样说。合作是合作，声明是声明 ，打架就免了。
如果蒋公打败共党，当初肯定也是要抢的，没啥疑问。
当然了，南海诸岛给谁，一切全凭美国爹地做主
前几天王毅说中美关心不应另起炉灶，应该指的是台湾吧，应该很害怕美国承认台湾的合法性，自己得不到也先把它搞砸了？
不管什么事，有两个解决办法：讲理和不讲理。
讲理，CCP在南海根本讲不出理，也得不到国际支持。那么，就只能不讲理而讲霸道靠实力，可是你又没实力拿下。
那么你又不讲理，又没实力，还要成天瞎嚷嚷，这是干什么呢？
联合国海洋公约规定，任何人工岛都不能算作岛屿，不能享受自然岛屿作为陆地享有的领海，经济区等权利。
南海是中国命脉，台湾也是中国命脉，香港还是中国命脉，西藏新疆更是中国命脉，土共混身上下都是G点随便一捅就高潮
