中共外交部發言人毛寧,在抗議菲律賓總統祝賀賴清德當選台灣總統時,說要他多讀書!一副極具侮辱的言論。
結果導致菲律賓國防部長罕見強烈回應!昨天他在聲明中說,「不幸的是,中共外交部發言人竟然發表如此低級下流的言論,侮辱我們的總統和菲律賓民族,並在此過程中進一步貶低她自己、她的外交部和她所代表的政黨。」
他還說,「我們不應該感到驚訝(作為一個享有民主自由的國家和人民) - 應對一個來自與我們不同生活方式的黨派和政府體系的代理人,一個經常散布國家認可的宣傳和虛假信息的人會做出如此過分下流的行為。」
It is unfortunate that the (Chinese) ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson stooped to such low and gutter-level talk - resorting to insulting our president and the Filipino nation, and further debasing herself, the ministry, and party she represents in the process," Teodoro said in a statement.
“But then again, we should not at all be surprised — being a nation and people enjoying the privileges, rights, and freedoms of a democratic society — that an agent of a Party and system of government incompatible with our way of life and who routinely spouts State-sanctioned propaganda and disinformation would go that far and that low,” Teodoro said.
