Charles DantesMalacañang yesterday rejected Beijing’s claim that the Philippines is being used as a proxy to fight another country’s disputes, saying it is China that should reexamine its role in the community of nations.
The Chinese government’s scathing words came mere days before US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s visit to Manila, in which he is expected to discuss the future of Philippines-US military collaboration.“Whatever we do, whatever projects we undertake regarding our military operations, that is up to us. No one can interfere with that,” she added.
“If China believes and is concerned about peace and stability in the region they should abide by international law. They should also respect the sovereignty of each country,” she said. “Facts have repeatedly proven that nothing good could come out of opening the door to a predator. Those who willingly serve as chess pieces will be deserted in the end,” Guo said.
