China continues to blame the Philippines for the dispute in the West Philippine Sea, saying the latter’s change of policy, position, and its refusal to “honor its commitment” violate international law.
In a regular press briefing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Mao Ning said the “recent developments” in the South China Sea are caused by the Philippines’ deliberate infringement of China’s sovereignty and provocations.
“The responsibility lies with the Philippines. China will resolutely protect its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests,” Mao said on Tuesday evening.
