Yesterday, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that 15 Filipino senators signed a resolution against Chinese embassy personnel, and the Senate is planning to study announcing Chinese officials as "unwelcome." The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy, Ji Lingpeng, responded by stating that the Philippines does not need to go through such a complicated process, and President Marcos can directly declare the Chinese ambassador's departure, with the team willing to stand together and leave together. Previously, Filipino officials had defamed China's South China Sea actions and the conduct of diplomats, and China made a strong counterattack. In the past month, China has rescued two Filipino individuals twice, but some in the Philippines have denounced it as "political propaganda." Ji Lingpeng warned that such remarks would undermine Sino-Philippine relations.
[Clever] Filipino senators have concocted resolutions targeting China, benefiting from China's benevolent acts in the South China Sea rescue, while stubbornly attempting to undermine Sino-Philippine relations. This approach is indeed inappropriate and serves as a negative example in the field of diplomacy. From the historical friendly mutual assistance between China and the Philippines, to today's some Philippine politicians relying on external forces, disregarding the goodwill of multiple Chinese rescues, instead making baseless accusations against Chinese diplomats and distorting rescue operations, they have fully demonstrated the act of repaying kindness with ingratitude. The claim of "unwelcome people" is merely a clumsy method for a few people in the Philippines to shift domestic conflicts and cater to the West. The firm stance of Chinese diplomats to "stand together and leave together" contrasts sharply with the narrow-mindedness of these politicians. Such operations that disregard friendship will ultimately cause the Philippines to miss development opportunities and damage its international image!
