Sandy Cay not just a sandbar
The Freeman
|May 15, 2025
What is a sandbar? I picked from the internet a clearer and more exacting definition of a sandbar than what I had observed since my youthful explorations to and in such mostly alluring places.
It, accordingly, is a natural, elongated ridge of sand or other loose sediment that forms in a body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean. It's typically submerged or partially exposed, extending from the bottom of the water towards the surface.
Only about two weeks ago, this modern international bully called Peoples Republic of China, actually a communist country, entered again (and again) a part of the West Philippine Sea (WPS) which has been adjudged by the Permanent Arbitral Tribunal based in The Hague in Netherlands as within the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In layman's language, a great portion of the WPS belongs to the Philippines as the tribunal rejected the Chinese 9 dash line claim as without basis.
