Law of the Sea Ruling Reveals Dangerous Chinese Nationalism

PO1 Tony Holland thanks for the read and share, very interesting read with good points of concern:
Why, then, is China up in arms about territorial sovereignty? The first reason is that it is making claims that are completely at odds with the norms of international law, specifically, claims to parts of the sea over which no country can legally declare sovereignty. The second reason is that its government is trying to misrepresent the ruling, which is about the EEZ, as being about territorial sovereignty - this is to both support its view that the Tribunal did not have the jurisdiction to rule on the case and to whip up nationalistic feelings, taking advantage of a pervasive belief that foreigners stole Chinese territory when the nation was weak.

Looks Like some one is trying to start another war in Asia..

This has real potential to start a shooting war!
