House Deputy Minority Leader and ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro has branded Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian's statements regarding the Taiwan situation as 'condemnable'. | ManilaBulletin
Makabayan solon ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. France Castro slams Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian's statements saying that the Philippines should oppose Taiwan independence.
"It is condemnable that China seems to be issuing a threat not just against the Philippines as a country but to innocent overseas Filipino workers who were obligated to work abroad to create better lives for their families," Castro said in a statement Saturday morning April 15. In a forum Friday, Huang advised the Philippimes to unequivocally oppose the independence of Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory.
The Philippines had just added four more sites to its Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement with the US. This gave the American troops access to additional bases in the country, which has always been a strategic location in the Pacific."We agree that the US are using the new EDCA sites for their geopolitical objectives and that must be opposed and stopped but China's aggressive actions and militarization of the West Philippine Sea should also cease," Castro said.
