flag_map_of_china__taiwanChina is set to be firm on its maritime rights in the South China Sea regardless of what UN tribunal will decide in the case initiated by Philippines since the arbitration decision will be “illegal”, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said.

AA-choices-man-and-alternatives-300x261Questioner:  Council, I had one question.  Earlier you had said that after the one wrong decision and the rippling and there was a next decision.  You said if the mind or “conscious” or “conscience,” I wasn’t sure what you said, is wise enough to make the right choice. I was curious, do you mean “conscience” there or “consciousness”?
