Hey there! 😊 Did you hear about what China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said recently? He talked about the South China Sea, a big body of water that’s really important to many countries in Asia.
At a meeting in Beijing on Friday, Wang Yi said that anyone causing trouble or provoking others in the South China Sea will regret it. In other words, he thinks that if countries try to start problems there, it will come back to haunt them. 😯
He mentioned that some of the actions by the Philippines are like a ‘shadow play’ 🎭, meaning they might be influenced by others behind the scenes. He suggested that other countries might be encouraging these actions to make China look bad.
Wang Yi believes that to have good relationships, peace, and safety in the South China Sea, countries need to trust each other and follow the rules. 📜 He said it’s important to follow agreements like the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) and work on a good Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC).
It’s like when you and your friends agree to play fair and make rules for games so everyone has fun! 🤝
