Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said Wednesday he will speak with Beijing’s ambassador to Manila to get an explanation about the envoy’s remarks on how the Philippines is “stoking the fire” over Taiwan’s independence.
Marcos said he will talk to Ambassador Huang Xilian “soon,” adding that he was a “little surprised” by the envoy’s recent comments. “I’m sure he will be very anxious to give his own interpretation of what he was trying to say,” the president said.
