China urges Philippine military staff to refrain from 'malicious accusations' over drugs trade


HONG KONG: The Chinese embassy in the Philippines on Thursday (June 26) urged "certain individuals within the Philippine military" to refrain from "malicious accusations", after a Philippine military spokesperson linked China to a recent influx of drugs.

"It is not far-fetched that this be another effort of the Chinese Communist Party to destroy the future generation of Filipinos by flooding our country with illicit drugs," Navy spokesperson Roy Vincent Trinidad told press on Tuesday.

"China has the toughest resolve and policy against drugs and we have one of the best counternarcotics track records in the world," the Chinese embassy said.

"We firmly oppose the baseless and malicious accusations made by certain individuals with intention to smear China." - Reuters
