(UNCLOS) is an acronym for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea. The accord is also known as the Law of the Sea Treaty or the Law of the Sea
Convention.

There was a school of thinking known as freedom-of-the-seas before the

UNCLOS nautical law came into effect. This idea was originally implemented in
the seventeenth century. The aspects of marine business and commercial
activities were not subject to any restrictions or limitations under this law.

Yes, And the violation of china is that they maintains a constant presence of
Chinese coast guard hundreds Kilometres off its mainland and it is inside the
Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of the Phillippines and they’re doing some
aggressive behaviour, like disrupting fishing and energy exploration activities
and building some artificial island.

The Philippines eventually dropped the "box" and adjusted their claims to comply
with the 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention. Both legally and historically, the
Philippine claims to sovereignty over the Scarborough Shoal and the KIG are
unrelated to its archipelagic position.

There should be a strict rule, as to how far china's limitation is when it comes to
the philippines so that there is no conflict and misunderstanding. So, this kind of
chaos can be avoided
