How Beijing proposes to solve South China Sea disputes 10 years after Hague ruling

A decade after the Hague’s South China Sea ruling, Beijing should continue engaging in good-faith diplomacy and explore international mediation, analysts say, arguing that the unenforced decision had failed to curb regional maritime tensions.The assessments came after a weekend of fresh accusations over the 2016 decision by an international tribunal that most of China’s claims to historical and economic rights in the South China Sea were invalid, a ruling that Beijing firmly rejected.On Sunday, the ruling’s 10th anniversary, a coalition of 14 countries led by the United States and the Philippines called the decision “legally binding and definitive”, and criticised Beijing for refusing to recognise or implement it.
