Following the Permanent Court of Arbitration's ruling in favor of the Philippines on the South China Sea issue and its rejection of any legal basis for Beijing to claim historical rights to the nine-dash line, Douglas Paal discusses potential Chinese responses to the ruling with ABC's Fran Kelly. He states that the Chinese leadership must be wrestling with the same questions of whether to transform its disavowal of the court's decision into more than words, and addresses the potential effects of further Chinese militarization in the South China Sea.
