00:09Rubio added that China should stop harassing the Philippines and Taiwan.
00:16Witness, J.P. Soriano.
00:17It leads PRC is the most potent and dangerous near-peer adversary this nation has ever confronted.
00:30They lied about not militarizing and populating island chains in the South China Sea and the like.
00:35The nomination of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for the next U.S. Secretary of State, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, will be heavy.
00:44They have repressed, and lied, and cheated, and hacked, and stolen their way into global superpower status.
00:51And they have done so at our expense and at the expense of the people of their own country.
00:57It's time for Rubio to be the next U.S. Secretary of State.
01:00He will be the first nominee for the next U.S. Secretary of State, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio,
01:04when it comes to foreign affairs and implementing its foreign policy.
01:09In Rubio's confirmation hearing in the U.S. Senate, he mentioned what China is doing to Taiwan and the Philippines.
01:17The actions they are taking now are deeply destabilizing.
01:20They are forcing us to take counteractions because we have commitments to the Philippines
01:24and we have commitments to Taiwan that we intend to keep.
01:28They really need to stop messing around with Taiwan and with the Philippines
01:32because it's forcing us to focus our attention in ways we prefer not to have to.
01:37One of the reasons why China is sending its ships to our Exclusive Economic Zone
01:44There's this massive, I don't even know how to describe it, but this massive ship
01:47that the Chinese have built that's like headed towards the Philippines and the Philippines feels threatened by it, rightfully so.
01:53We've seen this on a daily basis with the harassment and so forth, but on a daily basis.
01:57Rubio did not specify which ship it is,
02:00but the China Coast Guard Vessel 5901, also known as the Monster Ship, is still in the Philippines' EEZ.
02:08It was once again challenged by the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Gabriela Silang.
02:14You are advised that you are currently sailing inside the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone
02:20approximately 60.1 nautical miles from the coastline west of Capones Point, Zambales, Philippines.
02:30You are directed to depart immediately and notify us of your intentions.
02:35Your illegal activity will be reported to higher authorities.
02:40This is China Coast Guard Vessel 5901.
02:45I'm performing law enforcement duties on the jurisdictional waters of the People's Republic of China.
02:53The so-called waters for the South China Sea arbitration is illegal and invalid.
02:59To avoid speculation, leave the area immediately and stay away from it.
03:05The Philippines protested against the existence of the Monster Ship in our EEZ.
03:10China also protested against the outrageous acts of the Philippines.
03:16The Philippines should follow the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea
03:23and continue the dialogue.
03:25DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo said that such statements of China are no longer new.
03:32For GMA Integrated News, I am JP Soriano, your witness.
