Chinese experts said that Teodoro has repeatedly misrepresented China’s rights-protection actions in the South China Sea and China’s assistance to the Philippines, causing serious damage to bilateral ties. The sanctions also serve as a warning to certain Philippine politicians who are hostile toward China not to further sabotage China-Philippines relations. globaltimes.cn/page/202606/1…

To date, the Philippine government have documented the PRC’s movable floating platform, three newly installed floating buoys on top of the two dropped last October, an unidentified floating spherical object, and two antennas — all unlawfully placed.

NEW: China arrested a US citizen after Trump met with Xi in Beijing and accused him of endangering national security — a rare charge against an American. The detainee, U Min Zin, is a grad student at @UCBerkeley who researches Myanmar. This adds a new strain to US-China ties.

CHINESE ‘FAKE PINOY’ ARRESTED AT NAIA; BROTHER TAGGED AS ALLEGED SENIOR UFWD OPERATIVE Chinese national Cai Lihuang, who allegedly posed as Filipino citizen Jean Teresita Buenaobra Zhuang, was arrested by the Bureau of Immigration upon her arrival at NAIA Terminal 1 on June 6. Intelligence files obtained by Bilyonaryo News Channel allege that Cai is the sister of Cai Rongxuan, also known as Peter Buenaobra Zhuang, who was previously arrested by authorities. Separate intelligence reports identified Peter as an alleged senior operative linked to organizations under the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), an agency widely described as Beijing’s primary political influence and foreign outreach arm. Investigations into Cai's alleged acquisition of a Filipino identity remain ongoing.

📰ETGE Condemns Death Sentences Against Two Uyghurs in Bangkok Case Built on Torture and Chinese Pressure WASHINGTON, D.C. — The East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) condemns the death sentences handed down today by the Bangkok South Criminal Court against two Uyghur men, Bilal Mohammed and Yusuf Mirali, convicted through torture and a discredited process for the August 17, 2015 Erawan Shrine bombing. The ETGE calls on the Government of Thailand to halt the executions and overturn the convictions. The ETGE holds that the verdict rests on confessions extracted under torture, and that the case cannot be separated from China's campaign of transnational repression against the Uyghur people. The ETGE condemns the bombing itself, which killed 20 people and injured more than 120, most of them tourists and worshippers. Condemning this atrocity and demanding a fair process for the two accused are not in conflict; both are demands of justice. The prosecution relied on confessions the men say were beaten out of them and on purported evidence produced by the same investigation. Both recanted upon reaching the civilian court, testifying they had been tortured by Thai authorities and by individuals who appeared to be Chinese. One month before the bombing, Thailand forcibly deported 109 Uyghur asylum-seekers to China under Beijing's pressure, after which China paraded the illegally refouled Uyghurs as "terrorists." The convictions serve that same Chinese propaganda narrative: that Uyghurs are "terrorists," a false pretext Beijing uses to justify genocide and crimes against humanity. Bilal Mohammed testified he was beaten and forced to wear a wig, glasses, and a yellow shirt so he could be photographed to match the bomber on surveillance footage. He testified he had entered Thailand days after the bombing as a smuggling victim, and that the materials police claimed to find in the apartment the smugglers brought him to were planted or belonged to those smugglers. His lawyers noted his frame did not match the man in the footage. The trial ran nearly eleven years. The judges ruled there was no evidence of torture; the ETGE rejects that finding. The International Commission of Jurists (@ICJ_org) called the proceedings so flawed the men should never have been convicted, and in 2023 the International Federation for Human Rights (@fidh_en) petitioned the UN over the arrests' lack of legal basis. No group ever claimed responsibility, and a third defendant was acquitted in 2024 for lack of evidence. After the verdict, Mirali shouted that he was innocent, that he mourned for Thailand, and asked the Thai people to help him. "Our people's struggle is lawful and has nothing to do with terrorism. These two men were convicted on a costume forced onto one of them and a confession beaten out of them and recanted, by an investigation respected jurists call unfit to support any conviction," said @SalihHudayar, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Security of the ETGE. "They were convenient scapegoats: stateless, voiceless, and Uyghur." The ETGE calls on @UNHumanRights, democratic governments, and international organizations to pressure the Government of Thailand to halt the executions and overturn the convictions. The ETGE also calls on the international community to act against Beijing's transnational repression of Uyghurs. @ThaiEmbDC @USEmbassyBKK
