Abstract
The Philippines v. China arbitration award has been praised as a landmark victory setting forth illuminating jurisprudence interpreting the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea [UNCLOS], but it has also been repeatedly excoriated as an "unenforceable" decision-a Pyrrhic victory-due to China's repeated refusal to date to acknowledge the binding effect of the award. China's withdrawal from Scarborough Shoal-hailed by the new Duterte government as a hallmark of its diplomatic efforts-is one instance of state practice that still remains equivocal on the opinio juris of China's acceptance (or rejection) of the arbitration award.
