China Concerns about Nationals' Security in Philippines
China on Friday expressed concern over the security of its citizens in the Philippines and hope that the Philippine side will refrain from actions that will escalate tensions.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei made the remarks at a routine press briefing.
According to media reports, about 200 Philippine activists held an anti-China demonstration on Friday outside a Chinese consular office in Manila over the Huangyan Island incident.
Meanwhile, many Chinese travel agencies have suspended travel services to the Philippines due to safety concerns.
