Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo on Friday, warning the latter about the deployment of the US intermediate missile system.
Wang, who also serves on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stated that China and the Philippines are close neighbors across the sea, and that good neighborliness, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common development are in the best interests of both countries.
He said that the positive and negative lessons of China-Philippines relations in recent years have repeatedly demonstrated that while it is difficult to develop strong relationships, it is simple to break them down.
According to Wang, China-Philippines relations are currently facing serious difficulties and challenges, which stem from the fact that the Philippine side has repeatedly violated the two sides’ consensus and its own commitments, pushed for the infringement of rights at sea, and magnified public opinion speculation.
China is gravely concerned about and firmly opposes it, Wang said.
He added that if the Philippines introduces the US intermediate missile system, it will create regional tension and confrontation, triggering an arms race, which is totally not in line with the interests and aspirations of the Filipino people.
Wang noted that China has recently reached a temporary arrangement with the Philippines on the transportation and replenishment of humanitarian supplies to Ren’ai Jiao in order to maintain the stability of the maritime situation.
The key is for the Philippine side to fulfill its commitments and refrain from changing its position, said the Chinese foreign minister. Otherwise, he noted, China will definitely respond resolutely.
Wang pointed out that China-Philippines relations are now at a crossroads and there is no way out of conflict and confrontation, except for dialogue and consultation.
He expressed the hope that the Philippine side will seriously think about the future of China-Philippines relations and work with China to push bilateral relations back on the right track at an early date.
Manalo, for his part, said the Philippines and China have a long history of traditional friendship and have established a comprehensive strategic cooperative relationship based on equal treatment and mutual benefit.
Despite the difficulties and challenges faced by the two sides due to maritime issues, the Philippines is committed to easing the situation through dialogue and consultation, and dealing with differences constructively, Manalo said.
He noted that the recent meeting of the bilateral consultative mechanism on the South China Sea, during which both sides agreed to handle the maritime situation, displays both sides’ goodwill while remaining firm on their respective positions.
The Philippines is willing to implement the consensus, Manalo stated, noting that next year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and China, and the Philippines is willing to strengthen communication with China in a sincere and pragmatic manner in order to increase mutual trust and improve bilateral relations.
