Description:

China “won’t respect” the Philippines’ arbitral tribunal victory over the West Philippine Sea, so “who are we to impose that upon them?” Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said Monday. The remark came when Locsin was asked, in an interview over ABS CBN News Channel, whether China would respect the United Nations’ (UN) Arbitral Tribunal’s decision in relation to the memorandum of understanding (MOU) for oil and gas development cooperation with the Philippines.
