Manila still trying to peddle proven lie: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

Ren'ai Reef Since Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr took office, the Southeast Asian country has employed several tactics to encroach upon China's maritime interests in the South China Sea. The "new model" agreement, reached between China and the Philippines earlier this year, was designed to better manage the situation at China's Ren'ai Reef. Since last year, the Philippines has stirred up trouble and raised tensions over the reef by not only sending supplies to its troops stationed on the vessel but To mislead the international community, Philippine officials have repeatedly denied the existence of both the "new model" and a "gentleman's agreement" China had reached with the previous Philippine administration to allow only essential supplies to be delivered to the occupants of the stranded vessel. On Wednesday, the Philippines' tricks were fully exposed when the Manila Times published a transcript of a phone conversation during which a Philippine admiral agreed to China's proposal of a "new model", under which the Philippines would use fewer vessels to resupply the troops stationed on the grounded warship, and notify Beijing about the missions in advance.
