The Philippine Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Teodoro Locsin Jr, did not mince words when he recently told China to get out of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Philippines.
In a tweet that has now gone viral, Locsin said, “China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O…GET THE FUCK OUT.”
China, my friend, how politely can I put it? Let me see… O…GET THE FUCK OUT. What are you doing to our friendship? You. Not us. We’re trying. You. You’re like an ugly oaf forcing your attentions on a handsome guy who wants to be a friend; not to father a Chinese province … https://t.co/KTv1TOQvN7

This comment was made on Monday (3 May) after Manila’s protest over the illegal presence of hundreds of Chinese boats inside the Philippines’ EEZ.
“What are you doing to our friendship? You. Not us. We’re trying. You. You’re like an ugly oaf forcing your attentions on a handsome guy who wants to be a friend; not to father a Chinese province”, Locsin said.
He doesn’t have a uterus. If he tried to give birth to a Chinese province it would be a ball of crap at best and the end of the regime. What is it so hard to understand about Duterte’s UN declaration that the Arbitral Award made all maritime features Philippines; no one else’s?

China, which is the most powerful country in South East Asia, has a territorial dispute with every neighbour over land and sea. According to China, the resource-rich South China Sea belongs to it as per historical data. Beijing also did not obey an international tribunal decision in 2016 which ruled that China’s claims over the South China Sea were not valid.
Defence Secretary of Philippines Delfin Lorenzana said, “While we acknowledge that China’s military capability is more advanced than ours, this does not prevent us from defending our national interests and our dignity as a people with all that we have.”
