      Brewing dispute in South China Sea

      Early in 2013, the government of the Philippines initiated international arbitral proceedings against China over their maritime dispute in the South China Sea. Beijing announced that it would not take part, as is its right under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Nonetheless, the arbitral tribunal gave China a Dec. 15, 2014, deadline by which to respond.

      On Dec. 7 — eight days before the deadline — China's Foreign Ministry issued a policy paper setting out China's legal objections to the case, arguing that the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.

      The paper elaborated on the legal basis for China's position that the tribunal "manifestly has no jurisdiction in this case," the ministry said. The policy paper, the Chinese said, "does not address the substantive issues involved in the arbitration."

      China evidently hopes the tribunal will disqualify itself. Members of the tribunal will certainly read the Chinese paper and take it into account. That means China can influence the tribunal while ostensibly refusing to participate in its proceedings.

      Never underestimate Chinese engineering. First the Great Wall, then the Grand Canal, and now the Great Wall of Sand.

      China is rapidly augmenting features in the South China Sea (SCS) on industrial scale—hundreds of acres (more than 4 square km)—that even its neighbors combined cannot match. “Features,” is the key word here, because many were previously small rocks or reefs not legally considered “islands.” Then China used some of the world’s largest dredgers to build up some of the most pristine coral reefs above water with hundreds of tons of sand, coral cuttings, and concrete. U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Harry Harris aptly terms China’s creation a “Great Wall of Sand.”

      But it’s what China is constructing atop its reclamation that most concerns its neighbors and the United States: militarily relevant facilities, including runways, that could allo
