Như đă tiên đoán, China không bao giờ theo phán quyết của Ṭa Hague này từ ngày đầu. Đơn giản v́ họ biết là họ sẽ thua. Phán quyết của Ṭa chỉ có giá trị khi nó được một sức mạnh hổ trợ sau quyết định đó. Ở Mỹ, Ṭa có quyền tuyệt đối v́ phía sau Ṭa là một lực lượng CS khổng lồ. Phía sau Ṭa Hague này có ai? Yup....Nobody!!! Cho nên ṭa có quyết định ǵ th́ thây kệ ṭa. "Go f*ck yourself" là thái độ của TQ sau phán quyết này.

Điều quan trọng về quyết định này mà một số người không hiểu. Đó là đây không phải là 1 quyết định về biên giới hay lảnh thổ (sovereignty) mà chỉ là quyền lợi trên biển (maritime domains), thí dụ như đánh cá, hay khai thác dầu hỏa trên vùng đất được tranh chấp. Nói thẳng ra là thế này. Quyết định của Ṭa hôm nay không trả lời được câu hỏi HS/TS đó là của ai, hay nó trả lời luôn câu hỏi về sự kiện China biến những vùng san hô đó thành đảo rồi tuyên bố chủ quyền trên đó.

Ngoài ra, đây là những định nghĩa cơ bản của các danh từ chuyên môn được xài trong bản ruling đó.
- ASEAN: The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations ranges from small states like Laos to bigger economies like Indonesia. China and Asean have agreed to develop a code of conduct for the South China Sea, but progress has been minimal. Asean operates by consensus, and China has lobbied countries under its influence to block communiques that may criticize its behavior, according to diplomats.
- EEZ: States may claim an "exclusive economic zone" of up to 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) around their territory, where they have the sole right to exploit resources. They must allow the innocent passage of foreign vessels through these zones, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. China and countries including India argue they have the right to regulate foreign military activity within an EEZ.
- FONOP: The U.S. conducts so-called freedom of navigation operations to demonstrate its right to fly and sail through what it considers international waters and airspace. It has performed three transits by warships within the 12-nautical mile territorial sea area near China’s claimed features since October, plus a number of flyovers.
- Innocent passage: UNCLOS provides for the passage of foreign vessels—military or commercial—through an EEZ or 12-nautical mile territorial sea. If a ship engages in activity that threatens the security of the coastal state, the passage is no longer considered innocent. All three of the U.S. FONOPS have been innocent passages. Some U.S. defense analysts argue that by not engaging in other activities, the U.S. warships gave credibility to the zones around the reefs China claims.
- Island: A naturally formed land mass that’s above water at high tide and can sustain human habitation. An island generates a territorial sea and an EEZ
- Itu Aba: The largest natural feature in the Spratlys and occupied by Taiwan. Taipei is worried the tribunal might rule on whether Itu Aba—also known as Taiping—is an island, even though it’s not named in the Philippine submissions. Taiwan and China’s claim to the South China Sea are based on the same map published before the Nationalist government fled to Taipei and the Communists won China’s civil war.
- Low-tide elevation: A feature exposed at low tide but submerged at high tide. It doesn’t generate a territorial sea.
- Observers: Countries allowed to send representatives to the tribunal’s closed-door hearings on the case, including Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. A U.S. application to attend was rejected as it hasn’t signed UNCLOS.
- PCA: The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague has been appointed arbitrator in the case under the provisions of UNCLOS. Its ruling is final and can’t be appealed, but there’s no mechanism to enforce it.
- Rock: A feature that’s above water at high tide but can’t sustain human habitation or economic life. Rocks generate 12-nautical mile territorial seas, but not EEZs.
- Spratly Islands: More than 100 small islands and reefs set in rich fishing grounds and potentially sitting on oil-and-gas deposits. The chain, known as the Nanshan Islands to China, is claimed in entirety by China, Taiwan and Vietnam. The Philippines claims part of them, as does Malaysia.
- Scarborough Shoal: China seized the shoal from the Philippines in 2012. Its coast guard periodically shoos off Philippine fishing boats nearby. Should China build on the shoal, it could gain a potential military outpost right on the Philippines’ door.
- Territorial sea: The 12-nautical mile territorial belt measured from the baseline of a coastal state. The baseline refers to the low water mark of the coast.
- UNCLOS: The treaty that has since 1994 defined the rights and responsibilities of nations with respect to the world’s oceans. In particular, it defines the territorial zones generated by maritime features. China and the Philippines have signed and ratified it. The U.S. says it follows its provisions.
