Description:
- On Sunday, I wrote a Forbes post in which I quoted two experts interpreting China’s H-6K nuclear-capable bomber flight over Scarborough Shoal (Panatag Shoal), which is within the Philippine exclusive economic zone (EEZ). One expert argued that the flight was strategic signalling by China and should be taken as a reminder of the threat against the U.S. — a demonstration of resolve over the 9-dash line after the Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling. The other expert argued that the flight could be for domestic consumption only.

Description:
- Illicit drugs are common enemy of the mankind. Fighting against all drug-related crimes is shared responsibility of all countries in the world. The Chinese government has been firm and severe in drug control and in punishing all drug criminals in accordance with laws regardless their nationalities. The Chinese government has been promoting and has carried out effective international cooperation with many countries. China fully understands that the Philippine government under the leadership of H.E. President Rodrigo Duterte has taken it as a top priority in cracking down drug-related crimes. China has expressed explicitly to the new administration China's willingness for effective cooperation in this regard, and would like to work out a specific plan of action with the Philippine side.

Description:
- Q: Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte reportedly said in a speech on June 5 that he was ready to talk to China after the ruling of the South China Sea arbitration case. What’s your comment? A: The South China Sea arbitration case initiated by the Philippine Aquino administration is illegal, null and void from the outset. China will never accept nor recognize whatever ruling the arbitral tribunal may produce. And China does not accept any proposal or action by any country based on the ruling. Bilateral and friendly dialogue and consultation is the only right and viable way to properly resolve the dispute between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea. We hope that the new Philippine government will work in unison with us, veer away from the wrong path taken by the former government, return to the right track of having dialogue and consultation with China, and make tangible efforts to improve and develop China-Philippines relations.
