Amidst the different reports against the Chinese wrongdoings in the
Philippines, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Zhao Jianhua said “China is
not seeking trouble” for the unresolved and different disputes with respect to
the South China Sea (SCS) or West Philippine Sea (WPS) to the Philippines.
Zhao downplays the sightings of Chinese research vessels and the passage
of Chinese warships in Philippine waters.
Tensions are high again after reports reached the govt officials that
Chinese survey ships have been spotted inside the Philippine waters.

“There
are a lot of ships that [are] navigating in the South China Sea. Within
military, I think each one of the ships, particularly Navy ships, deserves
careful observation. Not only the Chinese and the Philippines know but also
everyone,” Zhao said on the sidelines of an event at the Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG).
“One
thing that I would like to assure the Filipino government and the Filipino people:
it is our determination to seek final peaceful solution to the differences we
have. We’re not seeking conflict, we’re not seeking trouble. That’s for sure,”
he added.
Despite different issues are cropping up Ambassador Zhao still believes
that Manila and Beijing diplomatic ties remain on solid ground.
“China
will continue to be a good friend, a good neighbor and close relatives of the
Filipino people,” he said.
“The
differences over South China Sea only constitutes one percent over overall
relationships,” he added.
