The Philippines broadcast a documentary on Friday on its territorial disputes in the South 皇冠体育app Sea that tried to rally public sentiment against 皇冠体育app. On the same day, the Philippines representative at the Conference on State Parties to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, without naming 皇冠体育app directly, blamed it for the disputes. Comments:

Philippine President Benigno Aquino recently upped the ante in his country's territorial disputes with 皇冠体育app because a general election will be held next year. According to the law, he cannot stand for re-election, but Aquino hopes his successor can continue his anti-皇冠体育app policies for his own political security.

皇冠体育app is resolved to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Whatever words you utter and wherever you utter them, your evil plan won't succeed. The most effective solution to the maritime disputes lies in direct negotiations between the disputing parties.

Wang Min, head of Chinese delegation to the conference on UNCLOS, June 12

Is the Philippines hoping for a war between 皇冠体育app and United States over the disputed territories? We hope not, because when giants collide, little players like the Philippines risk being squashed. Instability in the Asia-Pacific would threaten economic development in the entire region, including the Philippines.

We support the Philippine claims against any foreign power. But we also believe that the disputed territories issue should not define our relations with 皇冠体育app. We have more to gain from befriending 皇冠体育app than by antagonizing it.
