"This is taking place simultaneously with their medical aid and assistance and offers of cooperation on this pandemic." "That is regarded as a hostile act, an act of aggression. Such an action has caused major diplomatic fallout.""So China knows it is wrong and they themselves consider it wrong and yet they did it to our ship," he said.
"They will of course in the future try to use this as evidence of so-called civilian effective administration of this area. That’s why it’s important for Philippines and other nations to make diplomatic protests against this so that kind of usage can be prevented," he said.
