Recently, the Philippines has violated its commitments by sending construction materials to the Ren'ai Jiao, attempting to turn the illegally grounded warship on the reef into a permanent facility and realize its illegal occupation of the Ren'ai Jiao. In the Philippines' rhetoric, the so-called award of the South China Sea Arbitration unilaterally initiated by the Philippines in 2013 has become the legal basis for its series of activities.

Wu Shicun, chairman of the Huayang Research Center for Maritime Cooperation and Ocean Governance and founding president of the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, said the five judges of the South China Sea Arbitration were all European and lacked understanding of Asian affairs and knowledge of the South China Sea issue.
