China has been accused by Western countries of aggression and provocations by deploying hundreds of coast guard and fishing vessels in the exclusive economic zones of its neighbours, including the Philippines, far off its mainland. China says its actions are justified, because the vessels are in its territory. The Philippines has objected to what it calls "incursions" and "swarming".
Wang said China hopes with the Philippines it can "properly manage and resolve the issue in the spirit of goodwill and pragmatism". Chinese deputy foreign minister Fu Ying told the forum that China hopes that whoever wins a Philippine presidential election this May could "wisely, courageously, responsibly carry on Philippines' independent foreign policy."Reporting by Neil Jerome Morales; Writing by Karen Lema; Editing by Martin PettySubscribe to our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
