Dozens of Asian Americans rallied and marched in front of the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco on July 12, urging the Chinese regime to stop its expansion and aggression around the South China Sea that have threatened its neighboring countries.
July 12 marked the eighth anniversary of the Philippines’ victory in the South China Sea territory disputes against the Chinese regime. In 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled in favor of the Philippines under Annex VII of the 1982 U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. The ruling clarified that China’s historic rights claims over the maritime area near the Philippines have no lawful effect.
