China, for its part, draws a nine-dash line to delineate its claim of “historical rights” to almost 90 percent of the waterway. The line also overlaps with the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of another nation – Indonesia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under international law, China has zero claim on the West Philippine Sea, but Beijing continues to claim it by law and by force of arms. “Filipinos have every right to explore and develop the oil and gas in the West Philippine Sea, including Reed Bank, without interruption or harassment from other countries, ” he added.
