Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – According to the Ministry of National Defense website, on the morning of January 8th, Senior Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, released information regarding recent military-related issues.
A reporter asked: It has been reported that the Chinese Navy recently rescued Filipino fishermen in the South China Sea. A spokesperson for the Philippine Navy falsely claimed that China's public disclosure of this incident deviated from the essence of the rescue and was "political propaganda." What is your comment on this?
Zhang Xiaogang stated that not long ago, Chinese naval vessels, during a routine patrol in waters under Chinese jurisdiction, rescued Filipino fishermen in distress. Many Filipinos subsequently expressed their gratitude and praise for China's righteous act. Some people in the Philippines are only thinking of using their own fishermen as tools for maritime infringement, provocation, and incitement, pushing them into a fire pit, completely disregarding their livelihoods and safety, and even slandering and accusing China. This is extremely hypocritical and cold-blooded. Facts speak louder than words, and justice resides in the hearts of the people. China has always firmly safeguarded its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and is committed to working with countries in the region to build the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship, and cooperation.
