This morning a friend asked me if I needed to have my Chinese identity checked specially in the Philippines. Is what this program said true?
In the morning, a friend called me on WeChat to express his very urgent question. Is the Philippines strengthening identity checks on Chinese people? Is he in danger in the Philippines?
He asked me where the information came from and whether it was dangerous.
He said that he watched a speech by a big V named "Zhai" on YouTube yesterday. The big V claimed that due to the Ren'ai Reef incident, the Philippines is completely tearing up various cooperation treaties with us, seizing Chinese transactions, and strictly examining the identities of Chinese people.
Some people say forget it, forgetting that there are a large number of Chinese in the Philippines and many of them have a voice.For these people, talking nonsense is fine in the Philippines, but telling the truth is unreliable.
His nonsense includes:
Regarding the first contract, I have not seen overwhelming reports in the Philippine news.Some pro-American media in the Philippines always like to report various negative news in the country and talk about the bright future of the United States.So, these reports are like this every day, there is nothing new.
The second seizure of warehouse stores is not something that has just happened now, and it is not targeting Chinese people.Any Philippine warehouses or stores with problems will be inspected.Yesterday's local news in the Philippines also reported raids on rice warehouses. Due to malicious hoarding and non-marketing, rice prices were driven up.However, the news did not mention where these warehouses or stores were from.Therefore, it can be inferred that people in different areas may be inspected and punished.
Regarding your third question, I want to emphasize that the Chinese community on our island is still living peacefully as before, without anyone being disturbed.So, why are there strict investigations against Chinese people? Similarly, international students can continue to study and live and work legally in the Philippines.As for the Manila area, they are strictly investigating spinach cultivation, parks and those who live and work legally in the Philippines and have no direct relationship with the Chinese community on our island.
I don’t have much money, so I have to be quiet while eating soy sauce bibimbap at home.In contrast, those who have money always live an energetic life, constantly dancing, singing and driving.In the Philippines, there has never been any trouble caused by local Philippine government personnel.
Assuming that the Philippines wants to find out the problem of the Chinese, the best indicator is that the electronic visa suddenly announces the suspension of operations and a large-scale reduction of civil aviation routes between China and the Philippines.This kind of thing must happen first to show that the problem really exists.
This era is very susceptible to the influence of traffic, and people with traffic tend to have higher status and influence.
