SCS is a serious matter for PAP.
China has rejected PAC's arbitration and therefore its judgement. This is expected as Russia, USA. as superpowers, have demonstrated previously that they too do allow themselves to such arbitration as they can be politically rigged. Therefore, it is not surprising that China, as a superpower do not agree with such arbitration.
What makes USA, Philippines and PAC think that they can subject China to their judgement?
Now PAP has to decide whether it will side with USA or China in the SCS issue.
China and USA will tell each country...either you are with me or against me. Taiwan has declared that it is against PAC's judgement. Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar are likely to agree with China that PAC's judgement doesnt bind China. Philippines has said that it agrees to dialogue with China to settle the issue.
What will pap officially say now? Side USA or side China? Either decision has its consequences. LHL needs wisdom and cant just depend on his whims and fancy
