The Philippine foreign minister today (Monday) blatantly demanded that China withdraw its vessels from an area in the disputed South China Sea, following Manila's recent verbal war against Beijing.
"China, my friend, how can I say this politely? Let me see - fuck from here!" Tweeted Foreign Minister Theodoro Luxin, known for his unbridled language. Manila is protesting the illegal presence, she said, of hundreds of Chinese boats in the Philippines' special economic zone, which spans an area of 200 miles. "What are you doing to our girlfriends? You. Not us. We are trying. You are like a disgusting creature seeking attention from a handsome man who wants to be your friend, not the father of Sinai province," the foreign minister continued.
The Chinese embassy in Manila has not yet commented. Beijing claims its vessels are fishing boats rescuing refugees from the heart of the sea.
China claims control of most of the South China Sea, through which goods worth about three trillion dollars pass through each year.
In 2016, an arbitration tribunal in The Hague ruled that the lawsuit, based on old Chinese maps, was inconsistent with international law.
