I'm more worried about the incoming administration's handling of this issue than China's. We can expect China to be stubborn. But the rest of the international community will stand by the arbitration ruling which will most probably be in our favor. This will put China in a tight spot, and adversely affect future dealings with other countries if they don't abide by the ruling.
What bugs me is that du30 has already said he will not abide by the arbitration ruling and prefers bilateral talks. Mayhaps the Chinese bankrolled someone's campaign?
the down payment was already paid in advance during the arroyo administration. it was arroyo who bankrolled du30's campaign to put yasay as foreign affairs secretary. then will divide the spoils.
so dumating na pala ang sukli..change is coming indeed

Wow, with that argument, Italy could therefore claim western Europe, central EU up to Turkey. Because that's part of the Roman empire.

i read some tweets about the DFA warning Pinoys in China to prepare for any backlash. Police have also barricaded the PH embassy in China against possible protests.

He have absolutely no clue what to do next."Our experts are studying the Award with the care and thoroughness that this significant arbitral outcome deserves. In the meantime, we call on those concerned to exercise restraint and sobriety," - Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr.
Akala nyo pag ayos lang ng droga ang trabaho ng President ha. Tingnan natin ang galing ng admin na to ngayon. Remember he already accused US of importing terrorism to Middle East.
