Chinese Embassy questions ‘treason’ label vs Filipinos backing China’s WPS claims

<p><strong>A</strong> Chinese Embassy official has pushed back against remarks by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) suggesting that Filipinos who support China’s claims in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) while undermining the Philippines’ position could be committing treason.</p>

<p>Chinese Embassy Deputy Spokesperson Wei Guo criticized PCG spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela, questioning what he described as the selective invocation of freedom of speech as a constitutional right.</p>

<p>“Why is it that Filipino voices calling for stable China–Philippines relations and deeper cooperation are instantly branded as ‘treason’?” Guo asked.</p>

<p>He further cited the 1987 Philippine Constitution, arguing that freedom of expression should apply to all views.</p>

<p>“Is this not coercion straight out of the political repression handbook? Or did you somehow overlook Article III, Section 4 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which explicitly guarantees freedom of speech?” Guo said.</p>

<p>Guo also warned that stoking hostility and confrontation does not serve Philippine national interests, claiming such rhetoric could push the country closer to conflict.</p>

<p>“By relentlessly inciting hatred and confrontation, you’re not defending the nation. You’re dragging the Philippines closer to the edge of conflict and reducing it to a disposable pawn in major-power strategic competition. If this is your idea of ‘patriotism,’ one has to wonder who exactly you’re serving,” he ad

Flying Too Low?

Artificial islands have become central flashpoints in maritime disputes, particularly in the South China Sea. Their strategic use by coastal states raises difficult questions under international law, especially regarding the rights of foreign aircraft to conduct overflight.

Just to make this clear: Not only was the Coast Guard ship of the #Philippines doing nothing wrong or dangerous. It was also not intruding into anything as the #ScarboroughShoal is NOT part of #China's territory. Huangyan Dao my ass!
That baseless claim has been rubbished by the #UNCLOS arbitrary court back in 2016.
Beijing needs to be put in its place and held to international standards of decent and civilized conduct.
