China’s vice foreign minister, Chen Xiaodong, said relations between China and the Philippines are presently at a crossroads, and the Philippine side must act cautiously in which way to go.
Chen made the remarks in a phone call with Philippine deputy foreign minister, Theresa Lazaro, according to a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry, as tensions between the two countries ramp up over altercations at the Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea.
