MANILA, Philippines — More countries have raised alarm over actions that escalate tensions in the South China Sea amid the presence of Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea, but China’s embassy in Manila was having none of it as it blasted the nations for making “irresponsible comments.”
Over Twitter, Canada’s ambassador to the Philippines expressed opposition to “recent Chinese actions” in the contested waterway.
“Canada opposes recent Chinese actions in the South China Sea, including off the coast of the Philippines, that escalate tensions and undermine regional stability and the rules-based international order,” Ambassador Peter MacArthur tweeted Thursday.
