00:00I can't sense all the constant clouds.
00:01At a multilateral security meeting held in Korea,
00:04there was a scene where the conflict between the Philippines and China
00:06over the South China Sea erupted publicly.
00:08While the Philippine Defense Minister was speaking about international security issues,
00:11an unexpected A4 sheet of paper was handed to him.
00:14The problem was that the person who handed over the paper was a Chinese official.
00:17Dnuk contained China's position, supporting its territorial claims in the South China Sea,
00:22and stated that the 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration on the South China Sea
00:26was illegal and not legally binding.
00:28Since the Philippines criticized China's extensive territorial claims in the South China Sea based on that ruling,
00:33from the perspective of the Philippine Defense Minister,
00:35China was directly presenting its position at a public international conference.
00:39However, the big issue was that the note was delivered without any courtesy
00:43while the Philippine Defense Minister was speaking.
00:45In response, the Philippine Defense Minister strongly protested.
00:48He pointed out that if this was China's official position being delivered to him,
00:51it was no different from throwing the United Nations Convention on the law of the sea on the ground and
00:56trampling on it.
00:56He also criticized that China's behavior at an international conference hosted by Korea
01:00was against the basic courtesy that the host country should maintain.
01:03The level of his remarks rose even further here.
01:05He stated that this was no longer a grey zone, defining China's actions as actual coercion, harassment, and acts of
01:10aggression.
01:11He also said that he would not throw away the note he received,
01:14but keep it as a souvenir to show the audience how desperate China is and how unconvincing China's claims are.
01:20After that, he even made a remark in Filipino directed at China, saying that they should know shame.
01:25But there's an even more absurd part to this incident.
01:27It has been reported that the person who delivered the note was a military attache working at the Chinese Embassy
01:32in South Korea.
01:33It is reported that this military attache asked an event staff member to deliver the note to the Philippine Defense
01:37Minister,
01:38and the staff member mistaking him for a Philippine official handed the note over as it was.
01:41At an international security forum held in South Korea, the conflict in the South China Sea between the Philippines and
01:47China was revealed in an unexpected way.
01:49In particular, the Philippine side directly criticized China's claims at the international conference,
01:53and the Chinese side tried to present their position on the spot, clearly revealing the differences between the two countries.
01:58However, what's interesting is that the Philippines did not back down from China's provocation.
02:02Instead, they openly and confidently exposed it, publicly embarrassing China in front of the entire world.
