China to listen only to Marcos – envoy

THE Chinese ambassador to Manila said China will rely on the position of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on how to handle the West Philippine Sea (WPS) issue 'instead of any [Filipino] officials.'

Ambassador Huang Xilian was asked by reporters to comment on the remarks of Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro condemning the China Coast Guard's harassment of Filipino fishermen in the Scarborough Shoal.
