On October 15, Ambassador Jing Quan was interviewed jointly by Philippine media while attending the 2nd Diliman Dialogue. When asked how he viewed Philippine Defense Secretary Teodoro's statement calling China a “troublemaker” in the region, Ambassador Jing responded as follows: “This statement is simply nonsense. Who is the troublemaker? Look who is targeting innocent Chinese language teachers? Who led the military to arrest innocent Chinese workers? Also, who is discrediting and attacking China every day? These accusations against China are baseless and are intended to hype up false narratives and incite hatred between the peoples of the two countries. Who is actually creating new problems and inciting new incidents every day in an attempt to push the two sides into confrontation? Who is the real troublemaker? The Philippines should be happy to have a neighbor like China. If we use force, it is entirely possible that we can win easily. But we won't use force because we love peace. The region at least enjoys peace. Look at the rest of the world — Ukraine, Gaza, or even Venezuela, what's happening there? We should be happy; at least we have peace. We hope that all countries in the region, especially those in East and Southeast Asia, can work together to cherish peace and seek common development. China is willing to share its development experience and technology with neighboring countries, and we hope that all countries will see China's development as an opportunity rather than a threat.”
