The Philippines** announced on December 14 that they had deported 180 Chinese nationals who had not been granted work permits for alleged involvementCyber scamsActivity. Afterwards, ChinaSpeakersMao Ning said China requires its citizens to abide by the local area when they are overseasLawsThe Philippines should also protect the basic rights and interests of Chinese citizens.
The Philippines claims that the repatriation of Chinese nationals is part of a joint crackdown on offshore gambling activities between China and the Philippines. Philippine authorities conducted an enforcement operation on October 27 against a company that operates offshore gambling in the Philippines and detained those involved. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines verifies the identities of these personnel and assists them in returning to their home countries. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines fully supports the cooperation between the two countries in combating offshore gambling and is committed to promoting exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in various fields.
In addition to cracking down on offshore gambling, China and the Philippines are also cracking downTelecom fraudand other crimes. Telecom fraudIn recent years, it has shown an increasingly fierce trend, in addition to the wire fraud gangs in China, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other places where Chinese people live in the traces of wire fraudsters. China's public security organs, the Philippines and other countries launched a joint law enforcement operation, and at the end of August this year, they launched a special crackdown on wire fraud gangs in northern Myanmar, arresting more than 30,000 Chinese wire fraud victims. Recently, at the Lancang-Mekong Foreign Ministers' Meeting, China also actively urged other countries to crack downTelecom fraudand other criminal issues, and jointly safeguard regional security and stability.
In addition to cooperation in the field of law enforcement, China and the Philippines are also engaged in people-to-people exchangesInvestmentsAgricultural products**, greenEnergyand health affairs.

However, China-Philippines cooperative relations are facing interference and challenges from external forces. PhilippinesMarcos**Pandering to the U.S. policy in the South China Sea has exacerbated disputes in the South China Sea and negatively impacted China-Philippines relations. Over the past few months, the Philippine side has repeatedly provoked China. Their vessels entered China's territorial waters without authorization and collided with Chinese coast guard vessels. These actions have seriously damaged the foundation of mutual trust between China and the Philippines and violated the principle of consultation and joint contribution embodied in the Declaration on Conduct in the South China Sea.
However, it should be clear to the Philippines that China has strong industrial capacity and sustainable developmentMilitaryStrength. China has the ability to resolve the issue through negotiation, and if the Philippines is unwilling to engage in dialogue, China has other means to deal with it. Recently, the Chinese maritime authorities announced a maritime ...MilitaryTraining mission, prohibit any vessel from entering the relevant waters of the South China Sea. This move shows that China hopes that the Philippines can work with China to expand mutually beneficial cooperation and reduce negative factors in bilateral relations.
Summary: Looking forward to the development of China-Philippines relations, we can draw two basic judgments. First of all, China and the Philippines are neighbors that cannot be moved, and the two countries need to manage their relations well for a long time. This requires both sides to abandon confrontation and resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation. The Philippines should be aware that their trespassing has eroded the foundation of trust between China and the Philippines. Second, China has strong industrial capacity and sustainable developmentMilitarypower, which gives China the ability to respond to the provocations of the Philippines in a variety of ways. Therefore, the Philippines should choose to engage in dialogue and cooperation with China rather than deepen the contradictions in the South China Sea along the line of collusion with external forces. Only through the joint efforts of both sides can China-Philippines relations move forward steadily and bring more benefits to the two peoples.
