    What’s your point?

    You seemed to be suggesting that what the Philippines is doing is breaking the rules of unclos, but you haven’t explained how.

    but flouts it at every opportunity. International law for thee but not for me.

    How? They are allowed to protect the resources in their exclusive economic zone. China on the other hand is still attempting to enforce a claim that was invalidated by international courts in 2016.

    Seems like you might be projecting on the behalf of China.

        In the exclusive economic zone, the coastal State shall have the exclusive right to construct and to authorize and regulate the construction, operation and use of:

        (a) artificial islands;

        (b) installations and structures for the purposes provided for in article 56 and other economic purposes;

        © installations and structures which may interfere with the exercise of the rights of the coastal State in the zone.

        There no language in the EEZ article that mentions “territorial military outpost”.
