Defining the News
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday reiterated that his administration is open to back-channel talks with the Chinese government regardless of Beijing’s continuing incursions in the West Philippine Sea .
Marcos recognized that the invitation he received to deliver the keynote speech at the annual Shangri-la Dialogue—an international conference on defense and security—marked a significant aspect of the controversy: the position the Philippines is in as regards the decision of policymakers everywhere. In a separate statement, Marcos said China’s fishing ban is not a new issue, referencing previous agreements that had addressed it.
Meanwhile, the Philippine Navy on Wednesday, May 29, said that the imposition of the Chinese fishing ban was meant to deceive the public by creating a false narrative that might gather support among Filipinos. “So far, none,” the Commodore said in answer to the question if there have been indications that China would impose the fishing ban. “Today’s warfare is more on narratives, more on deception. It is part of the lawfare of China.”
