Rick, my reasons are from a “face or Mianzi” prospective. Every country involved left themselves no room for backing down or changing their stance on ownership claims. If any of the three countries stepped back even 1/5th of 1/8 of a centimeter then the populace would direct its anger at the political establishment for letting down the nation.
Suddenly a document appears from thin air. Now there is stepping away and re-stancing space for all parties involved.
This is not a new issue between these countries I find it hard to believe they JUST discovered this document. For or against whoever’s claims, its strange on the timing.
Rick we are going to have to agree that we disagree.
Cheers
