Ownership is ultimately by consensus.
When there is a community, inevitably there will be contesting claims on things. Any thing. If you are by yourself in the wild, you can 'claim' anything you want and voila, it is yours. Except, not really. It is not yours until someone else come along and try to make a claim on that same thing and in one way or another, he was discouraged from continuing his claim on that thing.
How many times have people on this forum declared that North America belongs to the Natives and not to 'invading' white Europeans ?
Put aside the legalism for now. The fact that people make that statement, regardless of their hostility to the US, means exactly what have always been acknowledged, that ownership is ultimately by consensus. These people disagreed with the current situation that North America belongs to the 'Americans'. There is no consensus, in their minds.
The historical evidences that China brought on to claim the entirety of the SCS have been found unconvincing. There is no consensus, ergo, there is no ownership.
Your unsubstantial longwinded excuses, your perception of a concensus or nonexistence of it, nor your denial are relevant.
Our ownership does not disappear by your denial, no matter how many layers and facets you wrap arround your expression or justifcation of your denial.
Make this the premise of your arguments and I say nice try troll.
But it is his fault.
Your entire argument/defense of his post can and will be destroyed by the history of the event.
Hold it boy, your invented "stalking" narrative, doesn't excuse all those unrelated stupid arguments you already made that blew up, nor does it excuse your attempts to paraphrase him to rescue your failing argument. All your car related arguments/analogies you made to defend your biased position where detached from reality and just silly. Anyone with a some basic common sense can see that. Your paraphrasing attempts can be seen quote on quote in my previous posts. You cant just brush that away, with such a cheap dodge.
Neither are his actually pretty common sense arguments "destroyed" by alleging completely new aspects to the story to invalidate his arguments relevance. It's clear you went along with the anaolgy and tried to beat him and then me with his own arguments and dragging the analogy along up to the Baidu nonsense where it just blew up when you started talking like someone who lives in the mountains. Now you try to change the premises and imply the entire anaolgy could not be applied in first place because the situation was different? Thats not argueing anymore. That's just wiggling in a grave you dug yourself. Get over it, you blew it.
Now your biased and ignorant narrative is not becoming any more valid by calling it "history of the event". The whole stalking narrative is at best a spin on the fact that this is was a regular Chinese partrol boat and if anyone it was the U.S. ships lingering and stalking around Chinese islands and ships, not vice versa. The rest plain and simple unproven allegations from the provocateur and defensive cheerleaders forging excuses.
But then would you agree that the U.S. navy "civilian" ship knew or as "professionals" should have been aware they where provoking China with their missbehavior? Or will you deny that even after claiming they knew they where allegedly followed by Chinese authorities because of their obvious suspiscious behavior around and in Chinese administered waters where common sense would expect them not to do that without expecting consequences and appropiate measures? Something tells me you won't.
Authority, just like ownership, is ultimately by consensus. Either you submit to overwhelming force or you vote. In the end, you will have a leader. Consensus.
The immediate community neither submitted nor voted China to be the authority figure regarding the SCS. They submitted to UNCLOS and that convention denied China's claim to the entirety of the SCS.
You played dumb asked for the authority. You got it.
Its up to you to deny it. But don't pretend you don't know now.
Again your, as you refer to yourself with "the community", denial does not change our ownership. Common sense say if it belongs to China and or China exercises authority over it, China is the authority you should consult if you want to send your toy drones into Chinese administered waters. Whether you feign ignorance, lack common sense or pretend to be dumb, the authorities are going to deal with any disrespect of our customs and laws as they see fit either way.
Again China does not care about your biased U.S. propaganda reinterpretation of UNCLOS cases nor anyone else beyond the facts its just more platitudes to roll your eyes over, no matter where and how you try to slip it into your arguments pretending you are talking about facts rather than biased missleading U.S. opinion pieces. China respects only the provisions on UNCLOS it agreed uppon that do not conflict with these claims nor these concrete actions (not denying we **** up and step over it sometimes like anyone else) not your opinion pieces.
Where did I even implied such ?
Its explained right in the next sentence.
Even now, you continues to evade the fact that the event happened far away from China, unless the Philippines belongs to China.
By "far away from China" you mean of course the fact that it happen close those Chinas islands and in Chinese administered waters. You can go on dodging that the fact all day, this isn't a mainstream land of the free roaming sheep blog, its a forum where people understand the context. You desperate attempts to keep spinning it to the U.S. propaganda narrative that is trying to paint a false picture in the head of ignorants, is kind of futile with people that know the geographic situation.
We are now approaching the circle where the Vietnamese trolls keep repeating ignorant talking points over and over again it seems.
