On the afternoon of October 16, Ministry of National Defense press spokesman Colonel Chen Xi released news on recent military issues. Reporter: According to reports, Philippine Defense Minister Teodoro recently hyped up the South China Sea issue several times and spread false statements about China. Any comments on this please? Chen Xi: Individual Philippine politicians seek political capital for their own self-interest, by creating “threats” to expand their military power, and disrupt the situation in exchange for external support. Various acts directly damage Philippine national security and people's welfare, seriously threaten regional peace and stability and ASEAN's common interests, and have a destructive impact on Sino-Philippine military relations. Facts speak louder than words; justice is in the hearts of the people. China has always firmly upheld its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and is committed to working with countries in the region to make the South China Sea a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation.
