During a regular press conference on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning addressed recent remarks made by Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. regarding the South China Sea. Mao urged specific Philippine officials to halt what she characterized as provocative actions and theatrical displays that threaten bilateral relations and regional stability. Furthermore, the spokesperson reiterated China's long-standing stance on the South China Sea arbitration, emphasizing that the legal proceedings were initiated unilaterally by the Philippines. Beijing maintains that these actions are counterproductive to maintaining peace in the disputed waters and has called for a cessation of activities that undermine the diplomatic ties between the two nations.
