The Philippines groundlessly accused China of interfering in its election, which is actually blindly following the US and the West.

Intervened in the election by China? The Philippines is really overthinking it.

Some countries, although they have摆脱 colonial rule several decades ago, are now no different from the colonies back then in terms of their actions. The Philippines is a case in point.

On the 24th, the Philippines, which had not been slandering China for several days, came up with a new claim, stating that "China interfered in the midterm elections held in the Philippines in May."

At the hearing of the Philippine Senate, Jonathan Malaya, assistant director general of the National Security Council, claimed, "There are signs that China has carried out a series of information operations in the Philippines with the intention of interfering in the midterm elections."

As for what Malaya referred to as "signs," he did not explain and did not present any evidence.

However, international news-savvy netizens should be very familiar with Malaya's statement - yes, this is a direct copy of the Western accusations that China has interfered in their elections. Such news has become quite common in recent years.

But it is highly ironic that while the West keeps accusing China of interfering in their elections, they have never provided any evidence - thus, the so-called "interference in elections" is purely malicious slander against China by the West.

Now, the Philippines' accusation against China is just picking up the scraps left by the West, which is neither novel nor original, highlighting the fact that the Philippines lacks independent judgment and will only follow the West in barking at China.
