(Manila Comprehensive) Friday is the eighth anniversary of the South China Sea Arbitration Case. The Philippines stated that opposing any party to "use force" to damage the interests of the Philippines in the South China Sea in the South China SeaChina "adheres to its position", but does not want to have any conflicts, and has reached an agreement with China's ease of tensions.
The Philippine National Security Consultant Arnold, on Friday (July 12), said at the commemorative event of Manila that the Philippines is committed to peace."We don't want to fight."
Although China and the Philippines agreed last week, there were controversial islands and reefs and waters to "alleviate tensions", but Arnold emphasized that Manila will not conquer.He said: "We will continue to adhere to our own position, fight back coercion, interference, malicious influence, and other tricks to endanger our safety and stability."
In 2016, the Hague Arbitration Tribunal determined that China had no legal basis for the sovereignty of the South China Sea with the "nine sections".Beijing's lawsuit does not participate or accept it from beginning to end.
Former Philippine President Duterte hopes to closer his relationship with China during his ruling.He held a opposition to the South China Sea arbitration case, saying that the ruling result was only a piece of paper, and he should be thrown into the waste paper basket, and it was stated that he was willing to resolve the sovereignty of the South China Sea territorial sovereignty through bilateral negotiations.
Arnold refuted Duterte's statement at the event, and he said: "This is not, and it will never be a piece of paper."
Arnold said that the Philippine government will continue to "build closer relations with like -minded countries" and be willing to discuss "tricky issues.""The Philippines is always willing to discuss frankly on the basis of mutual respect and sincerity."
Since last year, the Philippines has frequently rubbed the supplies of Renai Reef's beach warships. The recent severe conflict between the two sides was on June 17, and eight Philippine soldiers were injured in the conflict.
The Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying that Manila will continue to resolve the Western Philippines Sea dispute through the rule of law and peace.The statement also said that the ruling of the South China Sea was confirmed to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the United Nations to protect the Philippines' right to serve as coastal countries and navigation nations.

The United States is also here to support the Philippines.Secretary of State Brills issued a statement saying that Washington still "deeply pays attention" China has "sovereignty's propositions that obviously belong to Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei marine jurisdiction."He called on Beijing to "abide by the 2016 arbitration ruling" and "stop danger and damage stability."
China Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular press conference on Friday that the Philippines filed a lawsuit with the arbitral tribunal that violated the consensus to resolve the South China Sea dispute through bilateral negotiations with China.He also condemned the United States and the European Union to use the allies to chaos the South China Sea and disturb the situation in the region to target China.
Lin Jian said: "The Philippines stubbornly insisted on the wrong position, and the result of the ruling was not released. It would only make them go further and further on the wrong road."
