China defiant, Philippines softens as UN court set to rule


FILE - In this Friday, June 10, 2016, file photo, a protester has her cheek painted
with a slogan outside the Chinese Consulate during a protest against China's
occupation and island-building in the disputed Spratly Island group in the South
China Sea, in Makati city's financial district east of Manila, Philippines. A case
brought by the Philippines against China in an international tribunal deciding the
claim, represents a diplomatic dilemma for far-flung nations as Washington and
Beijing rally support for their respective positions on the use of international
arbitration in South China Sea disputes.
