- Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi has said China hopes the Philippines can make a wise choice in seeking a solution to the South China Sea dispute. "It is a deadlock impeding China-Philippines ties from being improved. We do not want to see it getting worse, becoming a problem that defies a solution. The key to solving this depends on the Philippines' action, as it should undo what it has already done. We hope the Philippines can make a wiser choice on this issue."
