Excerpt

Last week’s ruling of an UNCLOS tribunal on the South China Sea dispute has two distinct but related ramifications. The first deals with the rights to the resources of the South China Sea among the coastal states, and the second impacts on the power projections of the world’s naval powers. The ruling nullifies China’s “nine-dash line” as a claim to any maritime zone in the South China Sea.
