A LABOR group called on China to use “peaceful and diplomatic” means instead of resorting to “veiled threats” to resolve its issue with Taiwan.

Huang was referring to the country’s four new approved Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement sites with the US. “The Federation of Free Workers urges the Chinese envoy in Manila to exercise caution in making statements that may negatively impact the safety and well-being of overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan,” it added.

FFW also backed the position of Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Enrile that China should respect the country’s sovereign right to cooperate with the US, which resulted in the approval of the new EDCA sites.

China envoy’s remarks on Taiwan OFWs taken out of context—embassyThe Chinese Embassy in Manila on Sunday, April 16, accused reports of misquoting or misinterpreting the remarks made by Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian about the fate of some 150,000 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Taiwan amid the intensified Philippine-United States (US) military ties. Who the hell is he to influence our country’s direction. We shouldn’t forget how Americans saved us in WW2 and economically helped us to regained our independence. There’s no good that follows ungratefulness. We are not under the dictatorship of China… He should be expelled.. Taken out of context? teddyboylocsin why are we not throwing the Chinese envoy back to Beijing?
