South China Sea or the Western Philippine Sea?
In this first of a series of topics on China’s neighboring countries, Professors Aquino and Fred Magdalena will discuss the basic issues involved in the Philippine-China affair, and introduce the “political” dimensions of the issue after a presentation of the “facts” as can be best gathered so far on the Scarborough Shoal (near the Mindanao-Sulu perimeter) issue with China. They will also briefly discuss the role of the U.S., ASEAN and the other forces not directly involved in the issue.
