A Study on the Philippines’ Strategic Transformation after the South China Sea Arbitration Case / 南海仲裁案後菲律賓對中國策略轉變之研究

碩士 / 國防大學政治作戰學院 / 政治研究所 / 106 / In January 2013, the Philippines submitted a "South China Sea Arbitration Case" to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, based on China's maritime rights claims in the disputed waters of the China-Philippines in the South China Sea and the recent maritime law enforcement and island reef development activities.
On July 12, 2016, the results of the arbitration were announced. It was pointed out that China's self-demarcation of the Jiuduan Line in the South China Sea and its sovereignty over the South China Sea is a violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It also believes that China's exploitation of resources in some of the islands in Nansha is a violation of the Philippine sovereignty. The Philippine-Chinese relationship fell to a critical point at this time. At the time when the newly appointed President of the Philippines, Dutti, took office, President Duterte chose to shelve the decision of the International Arbitration Tribunal over the South China Sea dispute and change its tactics toward China. Sino-U.S. relations showed an opportunity to return to temperature. On October 20th, Duterte visited China and promoted the “Du Xihui” bilateral talks, which made Dutti’s foreign policy of “beyond the US pro-China” more prominent.
If we interpret the Philippine changes in China’s tactics in terms of “no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only eternal interests” in the world, after the current President Trump’s incumbent takes office, the Philippines’ Chinese policy will surely be adjusted. In order to meet the national interests of the Philippines, it will eventually also affect the situation in the South China Sea and the security situation in the Asia-Pacific.

Keywords: South China Sea Arbitration, Philippines-China Relations, Duterte, National Interests, Situation in the South China Sea, Asia-Pacific Security Situation.
