That is Thai's problem~ whether it will lead to better or worse is in their own hand. Time will eventually settle everything~ Do you prefer a perpetual chance of hope or gamble your life to have a badass leader like Kim Jong Il or Mugabe with no chance of seeing any reform?

LOL~ typical chauvinistic self-centered Chinese~ Don't you know that before Chinese could even sail across ocean and still busy planting crops in Northern China, SouthEast Asian Austronesian (including Taiwan Aboriginal) had already sail and colonize islands as far as Madagascar and Easter...

As I said, China intentionally leaves that ambiguous~ But if logic, as you said, say China is not claiming the nine line dash as its EEZ, why does it have confrontation with Indonesia in Natuna Sea? China don't claim natuna Island, but why did China try to undermine Indonesian EEZ over Natuna...

"China is NOT claiming all the water within the nine dash line" ~That is the question the Philippines seek through arbitration~ If everything goes by UNCLOS and China is not claiming all the water within the nine dash line, the Philippines should have its EEZ 200 nm westward from its main...

Since when did the arbitration concern about land? It is about the sea. The so called Nine-land dash is impossible to drawn even if all rocks, islands, and reefs belongs to China. UNCLOS explicitly stated that only island that could support human habitation deserve EEZ. Philippines main island...

It's also a fact that Australia as signatories of UN Convention regarding the status of refugees are obliged not to penalised such illegal entry, nor commit any refoulement policy. Not only Australia breached the convention, Australia also breached Indonesian sovereignty~ Such a b*d*ss If I'm...

Your countries are obligated to receive them because your country signed the convention~ its clear cut. UNHCR procedure is for someone who cannot reach safe refuge~ those who can reach by whatever means are the responsibility of host nation. Have you read the UN Convention? You keep repeated...
