Description:

Philippines and China’s relations have improved a year after The Hague favored the country’s maritime arbitration case in the South China Sea, Malacañang said on Tuesday. On July 12, 2016, the United Nations (UN) Arbitral Tribunal ruled that the Philippines has exclusive sovereign rights over the West Philippine Sea (in the South China Sea) and that China’s nine-dash line was invalid.
