Singapore Lianhe Zaobao reported today (June 1st): "China and the Philippines exchanged views on the South China Sea issue during the Shangri-La Dialogue. Philippine Defense Minister Teodoro responded to Chinese questions with sarcasm, starting his answer with 'Thank you for disguising political propaganda as a question,' which was met with applause at the scene."

[Cleverly] Comment: Singapore Lianhe Zaobao's report seems to have ill intentions. Shouldn't the Philippine delegation applaud their own minister's speech? As Defense Minister Teodoro said, we should also "thank the small Marcos government of the Philippines for disguising political propaganda as an answer." The small Marcos government of the Philippines is an "agent government" that treats its country and people's fate as bargaining chips and sells them to other countries. Additionally, in recent years, the Shangri-La Dialogue has become increasingly chaotic. It is enough for us to recognize the true face of our opponents and practice some rebuttal skills. This meeting solves no problems and mainly functions as a 'quarrel'.
