De Lima likens China to a rogue state for calling arbitral award a mere piece of paper
Opposition Senator Leila M. de Lima has likened China to a rogue state for its tendency to be selective in its acceptance of the rule of law, particularly in the international setting.
De Lima made the statement after Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian recently stated that the historic July 12, 2016 ruling of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague that rejected its excessive claims in the South China Sea (SCS), including the West Philippine Sea (WPS), is nothing but a piece of waste paper.
