Many people remembered that China refused to accept the ruling of the International Court of Justice on the South China Sea. They considered it to be an aggressive and bullying act by the China government.
I believe that China has a reason to take this uncompromising stance in the South China Sea, but I do not wish, and indeed I am unable, to defend that position.
I only wish to point out that this is not the only instance that a large country or its allies did not follow the decisions or rulings of the United Nations or its agencies.
Look at the war on Iraq and also the actions taken by major powers in the Middle East.
If we study the number of occasions that any major power went against the majority views of the global community, we will find that China is probably more compromising than, for example America.
