In a striking show of defiance, the Philippines has unveiled a new national map that pointedly excludes China’s extensive claims over the South China Sea. This assertive step comes after years of maritime tension and reinforces the 2016 Hague tribunal decision, which invalidated China’s so-called “nine-dash line.”
This report covers:
A direct comparison between China’s and the Philippines’ territorial maps.
The legal framework for Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) under international maritime law.
Responses from China, ASEAN members, and major Western nations.
The impact on regional stability, trade routes, and military posture across the Indo-Pacific.
We also bring voices from Filipino civilians, military personnel deployed on disputed territories, and global experts. This isn’t merely a cartographic update—it’s Manila asserting its sovereignty on the world stage.
Key features include:
Dynamic map animations and visual contrasts.
Field reporting from Palawan and the West Philippine Sea.
Expert insights into the future of diplomacy—and potential conflict.
