💨 Abstract

The Philippines summoned China's ambassador to protest China's drawing of baselines around the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, which Manila claims infringes on its sovereignty and violates international law. The move follows China's definition of a baseline for "territorial waters" around the shoal, a key point of contention over sovereignty and fishing rights.
