Description:
- The growth of the South China Sea as a primary area of concern of the U.S.-Japan alliance, second perhaps only to the Korean nuclear threat, is one of the main trends of the past four years. The East China Sea, once a serious concern, has receded in the background as China—under Xi Jinping’s direction—has turned its attention and focus on securing Chinese pre-eminence inside the Nine-Dashed Line. This coming spring, the Philippines’ court case on the legality of this line will be decided by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. By many accounts, and by the weaknesses inherent in China’s claims, the finding is likely to be in Manila’s favor.

Description:
- The victory of the Philippines in Round 1 of the compulsory arbitration case it brought against China, although partial because not all the points raised by the Philippines were admitted, has made many optimistic about the final decision of the Arbitration Panel. But given China’s position not to participate in and recognize the outcome of the case, a favorable decision of the panel may prove to be of little more than academic interest.

- Foreign policy, while not usually an electoral issue in the Philippines, now looms large in the country's politics. All five aspiring candidates for the May 9 presidential election have stressed their determination to improve the country's international relations. There are some immediate challenges: forthcoming ruling in The Hague on the Philippines' territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea is likely to affect the foreign policy position of any presidential candidate. But regardless of the ruling, it is clear that all candidates will seek better ties with China.
