I can perhaps believe the Chinese embassy’s claim that they lack knowledge of this, as they might be compartmentalized by their own government in such espionage operations. However, the embassy must not dismiss this as irresponsible remarks or a fabricated incident.
These are not baseless claims—we have testimonies, evidence, and a full understanding of the circumstances, including how these individuals were recruited to sell information to the PRC and become informants.
I agree that mutual respect is the foundation of good relations between our two countries. I just hope the PRC can practice what they preach, because you are not only harassing our Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea but also undermining our national security on land through spying on our government.
Stop accusing us of hyping up anti-China sentiments—it is not our actions that fuel this; it is your deliberate agressive and illegal behaviors that tarnish your own image, not us.
