China Watch: Taiwanese warship sailing for the SCS
We knew, of course, that China would not be pleased with the Hague ruling on the matter of the SCS. And now they have released a white paper outlining their position...basically, that's their territory in their eyes and they fully plan to defend it:

Thought I would start a separate thread for China as it appears to have no update thread of its own. This is something that could turn very nasty, very quickly.

It appears Taiwan, at least, is not waiting to see how things fall. They are sending a warship to the South China Sea to "defend their territory". Given the speed at which they reacted, it's likely they were anticipating both the ruling and China's own response. The situation bears watching.

China has further stated that the tribunal was "unlawful", that they will continue to ignore the ruling, and they warn of a "decisive response" to anything they consider a provocation in the SCS:
