Summary: Despite
increasingly strident rhetoric, new developments offer a potential
opening for more constructive engagement between China and the
Philippines.
On July 12, 2016, the arbitration tribunal of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea will issue its judgment (or award) on fifteen issues raised by the Philippines against Chinese claims in the South China Sea. China has refused to participate in the deliberations and has mounted a publicity campaign to dismiss the impending ruling. Beijing would be better off preparing to seize the ruling as a turning point away from increased tensions. http://carnegieendowment.org/2016/07/08/chance-to-de-escalate-south-china-sea-tensions-pub-64046?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTWpjMU4ySXdaRGN4WWpCayIsInQiOiJldDJZZmpwYzNSSytsM3ZzYm9yVEVVcGhQMUlmOG8xZjVMU2o5aWJZZUZNaEpPOVRrRmhvekRCcVJUZGprOHZcL3pld2s3WFNcL0lLa2hMRzBJcEF2Um83OHZXS0JWNUNucTRJYlllUDRSMjlvPSJ9
