PHILIPPINES EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND THE CHINESE BEACH REKLAMATES BUILD IN THIS COUNTRY
"GO TO OR I SHOOT",
said DUTERTE to CHINA!
The relationship between the Philippines and China has not improved.
Some time ago, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte even threatened to shoot Chinese businessmen who want to invest.
It is related to their plans to reclaim a number of beaches on several strategic islands owned by the Philippines.
One of the islands is Boracay. The island is similar to Bali in Indonesia, the target entrepreneurs from China, to develop its business potential.
"They can not go around here (the Philippines), even though they have a lot of money, it's better for me to shoot the head of the businessman than to betray the people's trust," Duterte told local media.
Earlier, the Philippine Armed Forces through its Chief of Staff asked China to stop work
reclamation that he is doing in the South China Sea region. Moreover, the area is an area that is being disputed.
Gen Gregorio Catapang said China's "aggression" caused tension in the region.
His comments came as the Philippines began the largest combined military exercise with the United States.
This year's Exercise Training involves more than 11,000 personnel, which is the largest exercise in 15 years.
Speaking in Manila ahead of the training, General Catapang told reporters that the new evidence of land reclamation "provides an urgent reason to inform the whole world of the detrimental effects of Chinese aggressiveness".
He said the Philippines believes that "China's massive reclamation activity will cause tension among claiming countries, not only because it can impede navigation, but also because its possibilities are used for military purposes".
China claims almost the entire South China Sea, leading to overlapping claims with several other Asian countries including Vietnam and the Philippines.
The countries say China is reclaiming land illegally in contested areas to create artificial islands with facilities potentially for military use.
