For the first time, China has publicized what it claims is an unwritten 2016 agreement with the #Philippines over access to South China Sea islands.

Ah yes, unwritten agreements... The PRC does have experience with those, like the ominous "1992 consensus" regarding Taiwan...

A statement from the Chinese Embassy in Manila said the “temporary special arrangement” agreed to during a visit to Beijing by former president Rodrigo Duterte allowed small scale fishing around the islands but restricted access by military, coast guard and other official planes and ships to the 12 nautical mile (22 kilometer) limit of territorial waters.

Who in their right mind would agree to that?😲
