The last meeting was held on January 17 in Shanghai, where the two parties formulated “some confidence-building measures,” according to Lazaro. “Let us not make this disagreement and conflict in WPS define the totality of the relationship between China and the Philippines,” he pointed out. “Now, threatened by China’s rise, the US seeks to maintain its hegemony in the Indo-Pacific and use the Philippines as its forward base for war,” the group said.
“While we condemn China’s lies and their continued bullying in our maritime territories, we must also be cautious about falling into the US narrative and playing into their provocation,” she added. #PhilstarPicks: Honor every type of dad with these finds from UrbanizeVNGGames officially releases newest MMORPG 'Ghost Story: Love Destiny' in Southeast Asia
