Ten-Dash.

This is coolbert:

We have been aware of the "Nine Dash Line".

NOW to that add the "10-Dash Line".

As duly noted and reported by the Filipino media.

"China's new '10-dash line map' eats into Philippine territory"

Further claims and encroachment by the Chinese into what is deemed as Filipino Economic Exclusion Zone [EEZ].

Apparently included within the Chinese Ten-Dash line claim of sovereignty Scarborough Shoals.

 
All areas within the dashed line area as claimed by China.

"The Philippines has protested China's recent publication of a new "10-dash line" map that places sprawling offshore territories it claims within Beijing's "national boundaries," officials said Friday."

. . .

"The new Chinese map, which was first published last January by China's state mapping authority Sinomap Press, features 10 dash lines instead of nine dash lines to mark a huge swath of the South China Sea in a tongue-shaped encirclement as Chinese territory."

. . . .

"China's nine-dash line claim in the South China Sea, it added, "encroaches on the sovereign rights and jurisdiction of the Philippines" and in Bajo de Masinloc or Scarborough Shoal, site of a standoff last year between Chinese and Philippine ships."

The beat goes on.

The UNITED STATES TOO HAVING A BINDING AND LEGALLY OBLIGATING BI-LATERAL DEFENSE TREATY WITH THE PHILIPPINES.
