On the ruling’s 10-year anniversary, a coalition of 14 countries led by the United States and the Philippines in a joint statement called it “legally binding and definitive”, while criticising Beijing for refusing to recognise or implement it.
In a strongly worded response on the same day, Beijing described US-led military deployments as the “primary threat” to regional peace in the South China Sea.
China dismissed The Hague ruling as “null and void”, calling it a politically motivated process that lacked state consent. It has also refused to recognise the tribunal’s authority to hear the case and said it would not implement its findings.
