💨 Abstract

The Philippines has protested against China's establishment of baselines around the disputed Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea, a move the Philippines calls a violation of its sovereignty over the shoal. China claims the action is lawful and consistent with international law. The Scarborough Shoal, located within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone, is also claimed by China and Taiwan.
