Comicomment: Exposing Manila's South China Sea 'shadow play'

The Philippine Defense Secretary Teodoro recently made harsh remarks against China, filled with baseless accusations and deliberate provocation, further escalating regional tensions.

The Philippines' moves to create frictions in the South China Sea are just "shadow play" to smear China, with the screenplay written by external forces and the show livestreamed by Western media. Infringement and provocation will backfire and those acting as others' chess pieces are bound to be discarded.  

Peace and stability in the South China Sea serve the common interests of countries in the region and around the world. The Philippines should stop misleading the international community and cease using the “shadow play” to smear China.
