China's Embassy in the Philippines on Saturday rejected Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.'s renewed allegations over 70 Chinese workers at a steel plant in Mindanao who were arrested and later released, citing a prosecutorial resolution ordering their release while questioning the military's involvement, the workers' harsh detention conditions and possible selective law enforcement.
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."

(ECNS) – The 19th China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week (CAECW) concluded in Guiyang, Guizhou Province, on Saturday, marking a significant push toward regional integration through digital learning and vocational training. Nearly 450 educators, policymakers, and industry leaders gathered to advance cross-border collaboration under the theme "Empowering a Friendly Community through Smart Education." This year's sessions produced several landmark agreements, including a framework for mutual recognition of vocational qualifications and the launch of the Ethnic Medicine AI Foundation Model, the first large-scale AI platform dedicated to traditional medicine. From Summit to Year-Round Platform Coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the China-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, the six-day event signaled a strategic shift in regional ties. Once a periodic summit, the CAECW is evolving into a year-round platform, with 60 additional activities scheduled across China, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia this year-six of which will be hosted independently by ASEAN institutions. Digital Transformation at the Forefront Digital education dominated the agenda. Organizers launched the China-ASEAN Smart Education Capacity Co-Cultivation Program to narrow the regional digital divide by enhancing digital literacy and governance. Scale: The existing Duocai Smart Academy platform already offers over 350 multilingual courses from 112 institutions to 129,000 users. Access: A new ASEAN zone on China's National Smart Education Platform now provides virtual labs and AI-powered teaching tools. Innovation: The newly unveiled China-ASEAN AI Joint Innovation Laboratory will focus on applying AI to preserve and research ethnic medical traditions, such as those of the Miao, Dong, and Bouyei peoples, specifically targeting ASEAN markets. Breaking Barriers in Vocational Training In a major breakthrough for labor mobility, the International Mutual Recognition Scheme for Vocational Education Learning Outcomes was officially released. Covering 34 fields-from cross-border e-commerce and smart manufacturing to healthcare-the scheme aims to dismantle institutional barriers to talent flow. Complementing this, the "Guijiang Workshop" brand has expanded into a regional skills hub operating in Thailand, Laos, and Indonesia, exporting Chinese vocational standards in high-demand sectors like new energy and smart construction. Youth and Innovation Take Center Stage Youth engagement reached new heights, with the World University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Challenge attracting 1,007 projects from 149 universities across 11 countries. Peking University's team won the top prize for its cryo-electron microscopy technology platform. Other highlights included esports tournaments at Guiyang's X-Sci-Fi Valley and the "Speaking ASEAN in Chinese" language program. Organizers announced plans to host over 5,000 international youths in Guizhou over the next year. Strategic Outlook Since its inception in 2008, the CAECW has hosted over 54,000 participants from nearly 90 countries. Beyond education, the week serves as a pillar of soft power diplomacy, supporting the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and providing landlocked Guizhou with a vital gateway to Southeast Asia. "Education is the bridge, wisdom is the engine, and youth are the future," an organizer noted, emphasizing that the 2026 conclave marks not an endpoint, but a starting point for deeper, smarter regional cooperation. To ensure accountability, a year-round tracking system with project ledgers and quarterly reviews will monitor all signed agreements.
