00:00 China called the ambassador of the Philippines after President Marcos greeted the new halal president of Taiwan.
00:09 China said that this is a serious violation of the "One China Policy" recognized by the Philippines.
00:15 This was pointed out by JP Soriano.
00:17 After Lai Ching-Teh was elected to the presidential elections of Taiwan,
00:26 President Bongbong Marcos was one of the guests. The president said that the Philippines is hoping for a closer relationship with Taiwan
00:34 and the strengthening of Taiwan's mutual interest in the Philippines.
00:39 Lai thanked Marcos.
00:42 But after this, the Chinese embassy in the Philippines said,
00:46 "The Chinese Foreign Ministry called our ambassador to China, Jaime Flor Cruz,
00:52 who explained what he said in the statement of President Marcos.
00:56 There is no statement about this from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Malacanang.
01:01 Aside from President Marcos, among the guests in the presidential elections of Taiwan
01:06 were US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken,
01:09 British Foreign Secretary David Cameron,
01:12 as well as the foreign ministers of Japan and Singapore.
01:16 In the statement of Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning,
01:19 it was pointed out and pointed out by the media that the countries that welcomed the new leader of Taiwan
01:25 were doing the wrong thing by violating the "One China Policy".
01:29 They are now showing serious demarches,
01:32 which is a way of oppressing the official position or the interests of a country.
01:37 The "One China Policy" is a policy recognized by many countries in the world,
01:42 including the Philippines, which says that China has only one government
01:47 and Taiwan is the only province of China.
01:51 As a result, the Philippines has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan,
01:56 so there is no Philippine embassy there,
01:58 and there are only economic and cultural offices.
02:02 The DFA explained in their statement that President Marcos' greeting is a way of thanking Taiwan
02:10 for accepting and taking care of almost 200,000 OFWs in Taiwan.
02:15 The DFA said that the Philippines continues to recognize the "One China Policy",
02:21 according to the current chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, Omeco in Taiwan.
02:27 The congratulation came before he could assume as president.
02:31 He's not yet president.
02:34 So there is no violation of the "One China Policy".
02:37 Right?
02:38 Yes.
02:39 We look at it from a strictly point of view.
02:42 He's not yet president, so there is no violation.
02:47 It's a safe gesture.
02:49 Because in every contest, someone wins, and when you win,
02:55 you immediately receive a lot of congratulations.
02:58 But for an international relations expert,
03:01 it's clear that China is trying to calm it down,
03:04 whether it's a direct message to the Philippines or not.
03:08 China is watching us very, very closely.
03:10 It was dumbfounded when the president shifted to the US,
03:16 when they thought that President Marcos was their candidate in 2022.
03:22 So it's still a puzzle to them, and they don't like the visit of Kamala Harris,
03:27 they don't like the visit of Blinken,
03:29 they don't like the visit of Nancy Pelosi,
03:32 and they don't like the fact that we are sort of a partnership,
03:39 or at least appear to be partnering with Taiwan.
03:42 We are listening to the statement of Malacanang.
03:45 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano.
03:49 Stay tuned, 24 hours.
03:51 In the new statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning today,
03:57 he said that Marcos' statements are a serious violation of the "One China Policy",
04:03 a violation of the political commitments of the Philippines to China,
04:07 and a violation of the "One China Policy".
04:10 He also said that the Philippines should not play with fire,
04:14 and to stop the wrong words and actions related to Taiwan's issues.
04:19 He also advised Marcos to read and understand the history of the Taiwan issue
04:26 in order to reach the right conclusion.
04:28 Malacanang has no answer to this.
