- The New York Times reports: "After an international tribunal broadly rejected China's claims to the strategic waterway, Taiwan reminded the world that it, too, had a stake in the sea. It denied the tribunal's findings soon after they were released, and on Wednesday, it sent a warship to patrol the contested region. 'The mission of this voyage is to display Taiwan people's resolve in defending the national interest,' Tsai Ing-wen, the president of Taiwan, said in a speech before the departure of the ship, a La Fayette-class frigate....Ms. Tsai said the decision on Tuesday by the tribunal, which was established by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, had 'gravely harmed' Taiwan's rights in the South China Sea, which is also claimed in part by Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam."
