如果菲律宾不对海牙仲裁庭的胜利大做文章，并且其他利益相关方略作退步从而让中国有余地认识到其自身侵略的危险，中国领导人也许更有兴趣进行地区协定谈判。
If the Philippines does not overplay its victory at The Hague, and if other interested parties step back a little and give China space to recognize the dangers of its own aggression, Chinese leaders may yet become more willing to negotiate a regional agreement.
