南海爭端延燒!菲外交部罕見重申「文人領軍」 警告自家官員勿在中國議題多嘴

Quick Look

菲律賓外交部發表罕見強硬聲明,要求政府官員與軍事單位在針對中國的發言上保持統一口徑,避免破壞國家外交斡旋。此舉發生在東南亞國家協會(ASEAN)峰會於馬尼拉主辦之際,美國總統川普與巴西總統魯拉預計出席。

Why It Matters

菲律賓軍方與海岸防衛隊近數月來與中國大使館在社群媒體上就南海爭議水域發生言詞交鋒。多位菲國參議員曾要求將中國駐菲大使井泉列為「不受歡迎人物」。北京近期東協國防部長會議僅派使館武官降級出席,作為回應。

菲律賓本週將主辦東南亞國家協會(ASEAN)重要峰會,預計美國總統川普也將與會。在此敏感時刻,菲律賓外交部8日罕見發表強硬聲明,斥責自家政府官員與軍事單位,要求在針對中國的發言上必須保持「統一口徑」,避免破壞國家的外交斡旋。

法新社報導,近幾個月來,菲律賓軍方、海岸防衛隊等制服部隊頻繁與中國大使館在社群媒體上,針對南海爭議水域爆發激烈的言詞交鋒。上個月,多位菲國參議員甚至要求將中國駐菲大使井泉列為「不受歡迎人物」(persona non grata),原因是井泉暗示中國可「輕易贏得」與菲律賓的任何對抗。

作為報復,北京在近期的東協國防部長會議上,刻意僅派出一名使館武官降級出席。

菲律賓外交部在聲明中雖未點名特定事件,但將矛頭直指國安與軍事體系:「破壞政府外交方針的公開發言,不僅增加外交人員的工作難度,更會損害國家在國際事務上的信譽,對外暴露出內部意見分歧的弱點,進而遭外部勢力利用,最終削弱菲律賓的談判地位。」

聲明特別強調,儘管軍方在前線蒐集與記錄衝突事件的任務不可或缺,但「國家的國際關係是由文人政府主導」,而且2016年推翻中國南海主權主張的國際仲裁結果,是基於嚴謹的國際法程序,而非透過社群媒體的口水戰。

菲律賓智庫「國際發展與安全合作組織」(IDSC)主任卡貝薩(Chester Cabalza)指出,菲國外交部此舉是為了向北京等對手保證,菲國的外交政策仍處於掌控之中,並藉此重申外交部在官僚體系中的主導權。中國外交部長王毅3日在與菲國外長拉薩洛(Theresa Lazaro)通話時,曾敦促馬尼拉約束那些「抹黑」北京並越過「紅線」的政治人物。

本週在馬尼拉登場的東協峰會,除了川普之外,剛連任的巴西總統魯拉(Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva)也將出席。截至目前,北京方面尚未宣布將由哪位官員代表與會。

Xie Jinhe revealed that she kicked out "Another Village". Wang Hongwei posted a late-night post to fight back. Netizens said: the video can speak.

On the 6th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan, accompanied by blue committee member Wang Hongwei, went to the Liaoning Night Market to pray for votes. They surrounded the "Ocean Current" store and shouted loudly at the entrance of the store. He was criticized for bullying. Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media Group, claimed to be an eyewitness on Facebook on the 8th, pointing out that Youyi Cun participated in the removal of Wang Hongwei last year and believed that Wang Hongwei might lead Jiang Wanan to "kick out the club" and that Jiang's team might not be aware of the old grievances. Wang Hongwei issued a counterattack late at night on the 8th, asking Xie Jinhe to "produce evidence" and emphasized that the vote-seeking mode was polite from beginning to end and never said "louder". Netizens left comments criticizing the store for feeling threatened. The video can speak for itself. The purpose of asking for votes is to win people's hearts and not to compete with others who have higher decibels.
