MANILA — China’s new law which reiterates their rights and jurisdiction over the contested waters and gives the military the authority to stop incursions into self-declared maritime territories was opposed by the Philippines in a statement made yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina is rushing to have total control over these areas for the much-needed semblance of ownership before the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea is finally passed,\u201d\u00a0Security and defense analyst Rommel Banlaoi said.<\/p>\n

He added that China’s move aims to strengthen its claim over the West Philippine Sea.<\/p>\n

Banlaoi also said that China may be able to challenge the Philippines’ and the other states’ claim in the disputed territories by\u00a0using the principle of permanent presence.<\/p>\n

China’s full de facto control over these seas may challenge other claimants’ contention invoking the\u00a0200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ).<\/p>\n

The Philippines’ air and maritime monitoring was then enhanced in order to track China’s reclamation activities on areas like\u00a0Calderon (Cuarteron), Gaven and Mabini (South Johnson) reefs.<\/p>\n

All of which are claimed by the Philippines to be located within the country’s\u00a0200-nautical mile EEZ.<\/p>\n

DFA has also filed diplomatic protests against China describing their activities to on the reefs as alarming.<\/p>\n

China, however simply dismissed the protests criticizing it for its lack of basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
