Philippine refers China’s claims in the South China Sea ‘the biggest fiction and lie’

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro fired off his latest tirade against China’s increasingly assertive actions in the region on the same day that the Philippine coast guard separately reported new incidents involving Chinese forces in the Scarborough Shoal, a hotly disputed fishing atoll in the disputed waterway.An international arbitration panel invalidated China’s expansive claims in a 2016 ruling based on the 1982 U.N. Convention of the Law of the Sea, but Beijing refused to participate in the Philippines-initiated arbitration and continues to defy the decision. China’s aggressive actions in the disputed waters have prompted the Philippines to build stronger security alliances with friendly countries. What is your take on Chinese claims ?
