No surprises here. But China plays good old fashioned realpolitik.

So unless the Tribunal in Hague has its own army strong enough to overcome the Chinese one, the US is willing to go to war with China, or 80% of the world revoke China as its trading partner - the decision is worth less than a toilet paper of the same weight.
