>‘No way to stay out of it’ or actively getting involved? Manila, don’t pretend to be innocent: Global Times editorial
>During his recent visit to India, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr made highly provocative remarks regarding the Taiwan question. He claimed that if a confrontation occurred over the Taiwan question, "there is no way that the Philippines can stay out of it," "if there is an all-out war, then we will be joined into it." And his excuses were "physical geographic location" and "large volume of Filipinos working in Taiwan," framing it as a humanitarian concern. He claimed he would mobilize everything he could to bring their people out.
>This statement aligns with Manila's recent actions on the Taiwan question, revealing the Philippines' true intent: to actively involve itself, curry favor with the US, and mask its political calculations to get involved in the Taiwan Question under the disguise of "humanitarian concerns."
>The Philippine government has once made serious commitments to China that it adheres to the one-China policy, recognizes that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory and understands the Chinese government's efforts to realize national reunification. The Philippine leader also said clearly to China that the Philippines is committed to the one-China policy, and the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair that must be solved by the Chinese people. These pledges constitute not only the political foundation of China-Philippines relations, but also an essential premise for maintaining mutual trust between the two countries on sensitive issues.
