"Bloomberg: Philippine leader complained about China during a campaign for his Senate candidates today. He said none of the candidates were applauding China or cheering when their nation’s coast guard vessels were hit by water cannons from Chinese coast guard vessels in the South China Sea. Would the ministry like to comment on Marcos’s remarks?
Guo Jiakun: Let me respond by adapting his sentence: none of the Chinese people would refrain from a lawful and legitimate response, doing nothing when China is hit by infringement and provocation from the Philippines. China opposes exploiting the South China Sea issue for political manipulation."
