True and without fault, everyone would like the world to be something better. But it is one thing to work towards an objective, and another mistaking a hoped for ideal as the present state and then proceeding as if the illusion were true.

So I asked Madam Fu Ying, then-Deputy Foreign Minister of China: “In case the Philippine naval vessel withdraws from the Panatag lagoon, can the Chinese government guarantee that Filipino fishermen fishing in Panatag Shoal and nearby areas will not be harassed?”
