Chinese Embassy rebuts Teodoro’s renewed allegations against released 70 Chinese workers; expert warns selective enforcement harms ties_我的网站

The statement came after Teodoro, who was sanctioned by China in June, accused the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Saturday of continuing to evade what he called the "crucial issue": whether the Chinese nationals arrested in the Philippines were involved in illegal activities, and whether Chinese embassy officials have intervened in local law enforcement processes, according to Philstar.
Ji Lingpeng, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, directly addressed both questions in Saturday's statement.
Ji noted that a May 28 resolution by Philippine prosecution authorities had found insufficient evidence to support allegations against the workers and ordered all 70 Chinese nationals to be released.
"Yet Teodoro continues to accuse them of engaging in illegal activities in the Philippines. Does he respect the rule of law and the decisions of the judiciary?" Ji asked.
Ji also questioned whether violations of Philippine law should be determined by the defense secretary or the country's judicial authorities.
"Secretary Teodoro's remarks are completely unfounded. They distort the facts and turn black into white," Ji said.
The embassy raised multiple questions about the May operation, which Ji said Teodoro had instructed the Philippine armed forces to join. The spokesperson asked why unarmed workers rather than those responsible for managing the plant had been detained, why only Chinese workers were arrested while Filipino employees were released at the scene, and why the Chinese nationals were transported to Manila aboard a military aircraft.
The embassy also said some workers had been instructed to put on personal protective equipment and pose for photographs during the raid, which were subsequently used in publicity surrounding the case.
Responding to Teodoro's claim that the embassy had intervened in Philippine law enforcement, Ji said anyone with a basic understanding of diplomacy would know that protecting the safety and legitimate rights and interests of its nationals is a fundamental responsibility of an embassy.
"Regardless of the reason a Chinese national is detained, the Chinese Embassy has the right and responsibility to conduct consular visits, provide consular protection, make communication with and demarches to relevant Philippine law-enforcement authorities to ensure humane, fair and just treatment of detained Chinese nationals," Ji said.
"We fully respect the Philippines' judicial sovereignty and the lawful handling of cases by its relevant law-enforcement authorities," Ji said. "If solid evidence proves a foreign national is in violation of Philippine law, he or she shall be brought to justice in accordance with the law. The same is true in China. However, we firmly oppose any discriminatory or selective law enforcement campaigns targeting Chinese nationals by the Philippine side out of political considerations."
The Philippine Department of National Defense responded in a separate statement on Sunday, claiming that "The Chinese Embassy's response does not contain any answers," adding that "this is, in legal practice, an implied admission of culpability," according to Inquirer.net.
All 70 Chinese nationals associated with the steel plant in Mindanao have been released, Xinhua News Agency reported in June. The Manila Times reported that they were released after authorities cited insufficient evidence of specific immigration and labor violations.
Renewing allegations against the Chinese workers after their release for insufficient evidence lacks justification, Chen Xiangmiao, director of the World Navy Research Center at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, told the Global Times on Sunday.
Having a defense secretary personally direct the armed forces to participate in an operation targeting civilian workers departs from normal law enforcement procedures, Chen said. Teodoro's continued politicization of the case after the workers' release reflects an intensification of anti-China agitation by certain forces in the Philippines, he noted.
Selective investigations and enforcement targeting Chinese nationals are driven not by law but by political manipulation designed to cater to domestic anti-China sentiment, Chen said.
The trend shows that anti-China forces represented by Teodoro intend to continue fomenting hostility toward China, shaping negative public perceptions and provoking antagonism between the peoples of the two countries, with serious consequences for bilateral relations, he added.
The resulting hostile environment could also have severe negative consequences for Chinese investment in the Philippines and normal people-to-people exchanges, he said.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday that "it's learned that it was exactly this defense secretary who personally led the armed forces to seize and detain Chinese nationals lawfully working in the Philippines. This person's consistent attacks and smears against China harm not only the bilateral relations. It is the interests of the Philippines and all its people that will bear the brunt."

B | AI摘要 福建省消委会警示“免费领宠”实为“宠物贷”陷阱，侵犯消费者权益。
C | 提醒公众理性看待，仔细核验协议，留存证据。遇纠纷及时投诉，呼吁行业诚信经营，共建公平消费环境。 东南网8月18日讯（本网记者 卢金福）近日，福建省消委会关注到，多家媒体先后报道，不少消费者被社交平台上“0元领养品种猫/狗”“免费领养宠物”等宣传吸引，怀着零成本养宠的心态参与领养，却在不知情的情况下被诱导签署长期分期协议，背上了数千元甚至上万元的“宠物贷”。这一现象已成为当前宠物消费领域具有代表性的民生消费陷阱，引发社会广泛关注。
D | 福建省消委会指出，“免费领宠”不应成为“宠物贷”的“隐身衣”。此类“免费领宠”并非普通公益领养行为，本质是商家精心设计的引流套路，以“免费”为诱饵吸引消费者到店，利用消费者与宠物刚建立的情感羁绊，刻意隐瞒分期贷款的真实属性，将宠物本身成本、高价指定宠物用品消费包装成“宠物抚养费”“履约保证金”等名目，实则是变相捆绑销售，侵犯了消费者的知情权与选择权，违背了市场公平交易原则。
E | 福建省消委会提醒广大消费者理性看待“免费领养”牢记“天上不会掉馅饼”，凡是将“免费领宠”与长期分期消费、指定平台绑定消费直接挂钩的活动，本质都是变相高价售宠，切勿被“爱心领养”的情感话术裹挟做出冲动决策。签约需谨慎，领养前务必核验商家的正规经营资质，确认宠物的免疫检疫证明与健康状况，逐字核对领养协议的全部条款，坚决拒绝签署空白协议；对于商家刻意回避“贷款”“分期”的模糊表述，以及是否存在隐形债务等问题，务必要求对方以书面形式明确说明，对不公平条款要果断拒绝。留存凭证护权益，全程妥善留存商家宣传截图、聊天记录、合同协议、付款凭证等全部消费证据，一旦发现被诱导办理隐形分期，第一时间关闭自动扣款授权，并与商家协商解决，协商不成及时拨打12345、12315热线，向相关监管部门或消委会投诉，依法依规维护自身合法权益。 福建省消委会呼吁，宠物经营行业应恪守诚信底线，摒弃违规营销套路，回归宠物服务的价值本质。保护消费者合法权益是构建良好消费生态的基石，期望行业以透明合规的经营行为立诚信、塑口碑、谋发展，与监管部门、广大消费者一道，共建公平有序、诚信友善的宠物消费环境，让“领养”真正回归爱心与责任的初心，推动宠物经济健康、繁荣、可持续发展。
