In a Twitter post on Monday, the Philippine foreign minister demanded that China’s vessels get out of disputed waters. The comments made by Teodoro Locsin are the latest exchange in a dispute with Beijing over the South China Sea. The tweet stated, “China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O… GET THE F**K OUT.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

China claims almost the entire South China Sea, which about $3 trillion worth of trade passes through each year. However, in 2016, an arbitration tribunal in The Hague ruled the claim was inconsistent with international law. Last week, the Philippines vowed to continue maritime trade in the South China Sea in response to a Chinese demand that it stop, and as of April 26th, the Philippines had filed 78 diplomatic protests to China since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article is important because of the relationship between the Philippines and China and the future of their global ties. “China remains to be our benefactor. Just because we have a conflict with China does not mean to say that we have to be rude and disrespectful,” Duterte said in a weekly national address. Since Duterte took office, the nation has pursued generally friendlier diplomatic ties with China, in exchange for Beijing’s promises of billions of dollars in investment, aid, and loans. However, this dispute over maritime exercises in the South China Sea and Locsin’s expletive-laced Twitter messages has the potential to escalate disputes even further. Duterte addressed China, stating, “So, kindly just allow our fishermen to fish in peace and there is no reason for trouble.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article relates to what we’ve been learning in class because in terms of causes of conflicts, the Philippines’ and China’s conflict is a territorial dispute. The conflict has not resulted in warfare, however, if an agreement isn’t reached, the consequences could be dangerous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
