The tribunal at The Hague ruled on Tuesday that China has no legal basis for claiming nearly 90 percent of the South China Sea.

According to reports, Beijing has blamed the Philippines for the problems relating to South China Sea and issued a policy paper which said that the islands at the South China Sea are its "inherent territory."

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin has said, "It is the Philippines that has created and stirred up the trouble."

Philippines had reportedly sought arbitration under a UN treaty from the international tribunal over China's territorial claims at the South China Sea.
