ASIAN ALLIANCE WILL DEFEAT CHINA

By Bayawanon

After The Philippines won in the case it filed against China before the United Nations Arbitral Tribunal of the Law of the Seas where the latter did not honor, the Philippines and her Southeast Asian neighbors like Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei and the East Asian neighbor Taiwan can still be victorious over China by way of multilateral talks by way of an alliance. Japan and India may also join the fray against China for the same countries have also axes to grind with China.

The multilateral talks between the South East Asian Countries which China bullied by way of owning the Spratlys and the Paracels through her NINE DASH LINE DOCTRINE can be had diplomatically. These countries may request China to abandon the islets and islands it is presently occupying for violating the provisions of the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Seas as a matter of fact China lost to the Philippines in a legal battle before the International Tribunal on the Law of the Seas.

If China would insist her ownership over the islets and islands at the West Philippine Sea nee South China Sea, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam and Taiwan may form a military coalition to combat China and retake what belongs to them. This military coalition or alliance can be strengthened if Japan which has a territorial dispute with China and India which has also border dispute with the communist country will join the fray and make China pay her aggression over them.

If China would continue her military presence in the disputed islands in the Spratlys and the Paracels which would constitute a violation of the Exclusive Economic Zones of the respective country claimants, the freedom of navigation of many countries including Japan and India would be affected for China would then be acting as a continental traffic policeman. This may anger Japan and India which have a history of hostilities with China before.

The 1962 border struggle between China and India at the Himalayas would then be awakened by way of this happening not to mention the efforts of China in blocking India for the latter to be a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and China's support of Pakistan against India in the diplomatic row between the two.

These things would force India side with the Philippines and company, and if Japan also jumps in favor of China's opponents, then China would be then transformed from a world power to a growling Chinese paper tiger.
