Chinese world’s largest coastguard vessel anchors in the South China Sea

The world’s largest coastguard ship dropped anchor in Manila’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea earlier this week. China and the Philippines have had frequent confrontations around the Second Thomas Shoal, an atoll located within the exclusive economic zone. China claims sovereignty over the reef and most of the South China Sea, but an international tribunal ruled in 2016 that China’s claims to waters within its “nine-dash line” had no legal basis. An exclusive economic zone is an area of the ocean “beyond a nation’s territorial sea, within which a coastal nation has jurisdiction over both living and nonliving resources.” What is your take on the maritime despute betweenChina and Philipines ?
