At the beginning of his post: China has “never attached political conditions to its aid.” In the latter part: if Filipino officials keep defending our waters, “the fundamental interests of the Philippines and the Filipino people will ultimately suffer.”
That is the condition, stated plainly.
Because of his inconsistencies and China’s own lies, he is now getting confused with their own script—one approved at the level of his Ambassador, who hides behind a nice-guy pretense while engaging different people in our country.
The Chinese government must remember that aid and sovereignty are separate matters. Genuine help is welcome, but it will never be currency for our rights. Sanction whom you wish—but as Secretary Gibo said, “Hindi kami pasisiil!”
