Topic: China will give aid to the Philippines, to safeguard Chinese image and interests

[pspyrock]

Wag na lang sanang tanggapin yung tulong na ito from China, utang na loob pa natin yan sa kanila samantalang yung interes lang nila yung iniisip nila. Pastilan!






China is to give the Philippines $100,000 for relief efforts, the foreign ministry announced Monday, and the state-run Global Times newspaper said in an editorial Tuesday the territorial row should not affect such decisions.

"It's a must to aid typhoon victims in the Philippines," the paper, which is close to the ruling Communist party, said.

But it added: "China's international image is of vital importance to its interests. If it snubs Manila this time, China will suffer great losses."

"Aid to the typhoon victims is a kind of humanitarian aid, which is totally different from foreign aid in the past made out of geopolitical concerns," it said.

I don't think we have the luxury na tanggihan yan.. The victims need all the help they can get right now.. Stage 1 pa lang ang relief, kailangan pa i-restore ang facilities at mas malaki pang gastos ang kailangan dun.. Pasalamat na lang tayo at hindi goods ang ibibigay ng China..

Alam kong kailangan ng tulong ng Pilipinas ngayon sa dahil sa mga kalamidad na nangyayari...pero sana 'wag na lang tanggapin ang offer ng mga tsekwa....baka maging utang na loob pa natin sa kanila yan at ipamukha sa'ting mga Filipino...

So they're sending aid because such an act is vital to their interests...and yet it's not being done out of geopolitical concerns?

Sounds like Beijing is speaking with a forked tongue (with apologies to fork-tongued creatures everywhere for any offense I might have caused them).
