Guardian + CBC: "Nine-Dash Line Nixed"

[dewline]

Saša Petricic's analysis for CBC News:
Forget the 'farce' bluster, China received the tribunal ruling it dreaded -
Hague tribunal's ruling could push China to be even more assertive in South China Sea, expert says

From The Guardian:
Beijing rejects tribunal's ruling in South China Sea case
Xi Jinping says China’s ‘territorial sovereignty and marine rights’ in the seas will not be affected

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/12/philippines-wins-south-china-sea-case-against-china

What else could the bosses in Beijing hope expect? Surrender from Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and so on?

That wasn't going to happen.

Well, if the US can repeatedly ignore rulings on softwood tariffs, then China probably thinks it can ignore rulings benefiting its neighbors too.
