No matter how the judgement over the South China Sea conflict was given, the fundamental problem behind this wrangle is about nationalism and capitalism. Should we assume that the judgement was given by a respectable institution, I'm afraid that it would still be rhetorical to ask whether we should acknowledge it or not. A country per se is a group of people sharing the same government, and given that there are so many countries, and thus so many groups, on earth, we could say that the inequality on a global scale is no different to that within a country. Inasmuch as most of us have recognized the necessity of taxation for reducing inequality, I trust we also perceive that international aid would be a moral as well as political imperative. Yet, we are also aware that undue taxation is tantamount to committing political suicide. And that's what the South China Sea conflict is really about. No one can ask for such undue taxation, as history has proved to us that someone shall always break the rule of utopia. Ergo, I believe that it would be better for many of us to ignore the clamour, unless that's your raison d'être. Overall, the worst scenario would be no more than people's demise, which is the thing I so morbidly relish.
