Amti of the Center for Strategic and International Studies noted that the Philippines is the only claimant in the South China Sea that is not developing hydrocarbon resources on the portions of its continental shelf covered by China’s massive claims.
Agreement with China
“The Philippines should be asking itself if all the neighbors stood up to CCG harassment in recent years and successfully developed new fields, why can’t it do the same at Reed Bank?” he said. China claims the entire South China Sea, but an international arbitral tribunal in 2016 invalidated its historical claims through its so-called nine-dash line. Beijing rejects the ruling.
President Benigno Aquino III imposed a ban in 2014 on that activity, due to maritime tensions with China. But his successor, Rodrigo Duterte, lifted it six years later.
