00:00Sir, do you want to clarify again China's position regarding the incident with China Daily's video?
00:07I think our spokesperson said very clearly, it's just the media's action and it's nothing related to government.
00:21And there are so many medias in China. You cannot ask each media, each video, each article, each paper to
00:30try to control. No, no, no.
00:33And also, I think we don't have any comment on that. That's the position. Actually, when we say we don't
00:43have any comment, that's our position.
00:45Ambassador, your message to the Philippine people, would you like to convey regarding your intentions of the South and the
00:52South?
00:53Yeah, we have disputes. We have disputes, maritime disputes, border issues, not just with the Philippines, with India, Japan, Vietnam,
01:02Malaysia, Indonesia.
01:03You have maritime disputes with Vietnam, Malaysia, but why only China and Philippines have such kind of outstanding difficult issues
01:13related to these disputes?
01:14So our principle is always, first, let's talk, negotiate, sit down, calm down, find a way to address each other's
01:23concerns if we have differences.
01:24Second, if we cannot find a solution, put those differences aside and seek for common development, common development.
01:33So find real tangible benefits to our two peoples. Otherwise, one example is 2018.
01:42We already signed the ABOU on the joint development of oil and gas in disputed borders.
01:48So, okay, 80 years passed. What happened? Nothing. Nothing.
01:52So those political tensions stopped everything.
01:54If we started 80 years ago, maybe we already benefit from our cooperation.
02:00But people say, never sit too late. Before we start today, maybe in three years we can have the first
02:04barrel of gas.
02:05So, let's do something. Take some action. Not always talk. Blame each other. Point fingers to each other.
02:13And then we waste our time, opportunities. And other countries, they all divide us away.
02:19Now we waste the opportunities. Let's do something. Treat each other like a neighbour, friends.
02:25Always help each other.
02:36One, two, one, two, one, two, three, two, three, three, four, five, five, six, seven, nine, ten, ten, ten, ten,
02:39ten, ten, ten, ten.
