The Chinese Embassy’s statements, issued under the direct supervision of Ambassador Jing Quan, sound like a broken record. Repetitive, offering nothing new, yet never tiring of the replay — defying logic, legal argument, and at times even common sense.

First, China’s sovereignty over Ayungin Shoal is anything but indisputable. The 2016 Arbitral Award found no legal basis for the nine-dash line or the historic rights claimed within it, and ...

As we commemorate the sacrifices and heroism of our national heroes today, let us honor their memory by refusing to let their names be used to justify the corruption of others.

It mocks their memory when their names are invoked in vain — heard by our younger generation as if our heroes shared something in common with people of questionable character. ...

Ayungin Shoal is not “Ren’ai Jiao,” and it is not China’s to claim. In its 12 July 2016 Award, the Arbitral Tribunal constituted under Annex VII of UNCLOS ruled that ...

Mr. Go Away, don’t get me wrong — there’s no lie in my post.

I just asked a question. And I’ll repeat it for clarity: what did President Xi Jinping really mean when he said in the Rose Garden that you won’t militarize the ...

Thank you, Ambassador Jing Quan of the Chinese Embassy for keeping me in mind.

Could you please clarify what President Xi Jinping meant in the Rose Garden when he said you wouldn’t militarize the illegally reclaimed islands that you built in the Spratlys. And ...

When they can no longer explain what their actual imperialist plans are for the entire South China Sea, they just take it out on me by wasting my time. First ...

How did we arrive at this stage of our history, where a foreign embassy seems to be trampling on our Filipino identity right here in our own country?

They have no qualms about issuing statements that appear to belittle officials of our own government—as long as they resist their violation of our rights in the West Philippine Sea—while ...

Thank you, Mr. Go Away, for refreshing everyone’s memory that as early as ten years ago, China’s imperialist behavior in the region was already obvious. By citing that 2016 video, you have only proven that the United States was not wrong then — and remains correct today.

First, let me refresh your memory. In September 2015, at the Rose Garden of the White House, your President Xi Jinping declared that China’s land reclamation did not target or ...

Bajo de Masinloc is the last unfinished vertex of China’s “iron triangle.” The Paracels were seized in 1974. Seven reefs in the Spratlys have been dredged into military-armed island fortresses. Only Scarborough remains!

If China militarizes it, the triangle closes — and the danger stops being a Philippine problem! One-third of global shipping passes through the South China Sea. Nearly $6.4 trillion in ...

Honorable Paolo Duterte, damn, your post is so long, and it feels like you’ve got some personal grudge against me. Why are you taking it out on me, when it’s China that’s squeezing us Filipinos? It’s like you’re on the same team—you’re both spouting the same lines. Are you pro-China, Sir?

I’m really impressed by this speech — it’s clearly from the heart! Ambassador Jing Quan said during the 99th Anniversary of the PLA that their military is “defensive in nature” and “will never seek hegemony or expansion.”
