00:00 The Chinese Foreign Ministry is explaining our ambassador to China
00:04 because of President Bumbong Marcos' greeting to Taiwanese President-elect Lai Ching-te
00:09 who they are against the "One China" policy.
00:12 J.P. Soriano has the first news.
00:14 After Lai Ching-te's resignation from the presidential elections in Taiwan,
00:22 President Bumbong Marcos is one of the greetings.
00:26 The President said that the Philippines is hoping for a closer relationship with Taiwan
00:32 and the strengthening of Taiwan's mutual interest in the Philippines.
00:36 Lai thanked Marcos.
00:39 But after this, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines said
00:43 that the Chinese Foreign Ministry is calling our ambassador to China, Jaime Flor Cruz,
00:49 to explain what he said in the statement of President Marcos.
00:54 In a statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning said
00:59 that President Marcos' statements are a serious violation of the "One China" principle,
01:04 a violation of the political commitments of the Philippines to China,
01:08 and a violation of the "One China" principle.
01:12 He also said that the Philippines should not play with fire
01:16 and stopped all false words and movements related to the Taiwan issue.
01:22 He also asked President Marcos to read and understand the history of the Taiwan issue
01:29 so that they can come to a correct conclusion.
01:32 There is no statement about this yet.
01:35 The DFA explained in their statement that Marcos' greetings
01:39 is a way for the President to thank Taiwan
01:43 for accepting and taking care of almost 200,000 OFWs in Taiwan.
01:48 The DFA said that the Philippines continues to recognize the "One China" policy.
01:55 Aside from President Marcos,
01:56 among the Taiwanese President-elect's greetings
02:00 were US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken,
02:03 British Foreign Secretary David Cameron,
02:05 as well as the foreign ministers of Japan and Singapore.
02:09 In the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson,
02:13 the DFA condemned and pointed out the wrongdoing of the countries that welcomed the new leader of Taiwan
02:20 who violated the "One China" principle.
02:23 They have already demonstrated serious demarches
02:26 that are a way of oppressing the official position or the likes of a country.
02:31 The "One China" policy is a policy recognized by many countries in the world,
02:36 including the Philippines,
02:38 which claims that China has only one government
02:41 and Taiwan is the only province of China.
02:45 As a result, the Philippines has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan,
02:50 so there is no Philippine embassy there,
02:52 and there are only economic and cultural offices.
02:56 According to the current chairman of the Manila Economic and Cultural Office, Omeco in Taiwan,
03:02 It's a safe gesture because in every contest,
03:08 there is a winner, and usually the winner gets a lot of congratulations.
03:14 China is watching us very, very closely.
03:17 It was dumbfounded when the president shifted to the US
03:22 when they thought that President Marcos was their candidate in 2022.
03:28 So it is still a puzzle to them.
03:30 And they don't like the visit of Kamala Harris,
03:33 they don't like the visit of Blinken,
03:35 they don't like the visit of Nancy Pelosi,
03:38 and they don't like the fact that we are sort of a partnership,
03:44 or at least appear to be partnering with Taiwan.
03:47 We are listening to the announcement of Malacanang.
03:50 This is the first news, JP Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
