China says reclamation efforts in South China Sea have stopped

China has stopped creating new land in the South China Sea, according to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in remarks made following a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Wednesday. Mr. Wang also called on countries in the region to speed up talks on how claimant states should conduct themselves in the disputed waters, Reuters reports.

When asked by a reporter whether China would temporarily halt reclamation work in the strategic waterway, he replied: "China has already stopped. You just take an airplane to take a look."...

Philippines foreign ministry spokesman Charles Jose said China had stopped reclamation because it had already formed its new islands.

"At the same time, China announced they are moving on to Phase 2, which is construction of facilities on the reclaimed features. The Philippines views these activities as destabilizing," Mr. Jose said.

After South China Sea Finger-Pointing at ASEAN Meeting, China Offers Its Defense
Foreign Minister Wang Yi is unlikely to sway any listeners with his defense of China’s actions.

As The Diplomat readers already know, the territorial disputes in the South China Sea were a major topic of discussion at the various ASEAN meetings last week, from the ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting to the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF). China, which had previously requested that ASEAN stay away from the topic entirely, was not pleased to be so criticized (both obliquely and directly).

On August 6, China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, fired back at Beijing’s critics, particularly his counterparts from the Philippines (Albert del Rosario) and Japan (Fumio Kishida). The Chinese Foreign Ministry, which posted Wang’s remarks on its website, called his speech “an impromptu response… comprehensively elaborating China’s position and refuting the groundless accusations from the Philippines and Japan.”

Wang’s remarks boil down to two main points: there is no problem in the South China Sea, and the Philippines and Japan are more guilty of violating international law than China is.

Former President of the Philippines opposes U.S. interference in South China Sea
(Source: Xinhua) 2015-08-28



BEIJING, August 28 (ChinaMil) - Joseph Estrada, mayor of Manila and former president of the Philippines, expressed his admiration for China's development achievements when receiving a group interview with Chinese journalists in his office on August 27.

All praises for the former president. However, they forgot to mention that he was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for plunder. I wonder why they missed that.

By the way...

- How does a person convicted for corruption/plunder be elected as the mayor of Manila?
- Don't you think that it's taking the statement "giving someone a second chance" a bit to far?
- Election's more fun in the Philippines?

It's because Estrada reminds the Chinese state journalists of their own officials. :lollol:

PH asks China to drop 'deceitful rhetoric' on sea dispute

MANILA -- Beijing must offer more than hollow promises if it wishes to secure peace in the disputed South China Sea and beyond, a spokesman for the Philippine defense department said Sunday.

The remarks came days after China flaunted its military might with a massive parade to mark the end of World War II, though President Xi Jinping said at the event his country was dedicated to peace and does "not seek hegemony."

DND calls on China to prove commitment to peace

MANILA -- The Department of National Defense (DND) challenged China to prove its sincere commitment to peace by stopping its construction activities in the disputed areas in the South China Sea or West Philippine Sea.

DND spokesman Peter Paul Galvez made the statement in response to the pronouncement of Chinese President Xi Jinping last week that the "experience of war makes people value peace all the more."

During the commemoration of 70th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Xi said: "War is the sword of Damocles that still hangs over mankind. We must learn the lessons of history and dedicate ourselves to peace."
