China’s new 10 Dash Line Map and Philippines’ Response

In the geopolitically charged waters of the South China Sea, China's evolving cartographic claims, transitioning from the historic nine-dash line to the controversial ten-dash line in 2023, highlight its growing maritime aspirations and challenges to international maritime law. This shift, deeply embedded in China's narrative of historical rights and "great rejuvenation," faces opposition from nations like the Philippines, India, and Malaysia, who view it as an infringement of their territorial rights. Particularly noteworthy is the Philippines' reliance on the 2016 Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling, which invalidated China's extensive claims, emphasizing the principles of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). As these maritime disputes unfold, they underscore the clash between traditional territorial narratives and the tenets of modern global maritime governance.
