俄羅斯總統普京正在舉行俄羅斯聯邦安全會議。

China's Ministry of National Defense spokesman Colonel Chen Xi said on Nov. 13 that Taiwan is an internal Chinese matter and Beijing remains firmly determined to safeguard sovereignty, territorial integrity and national reunification. Chen's remarks followed an interview in which the Philippine defense minister, citing about 200,000 Filipinos in Taiwan, said Manila was preparing for contingencies and warned a Chinese use of force would be counterproductive. Chen said comments by individual Philippine politicians reflect political bias and self‑interest, violate Manila's commitments on Taiwan, risk harming bilateral ties, and urged the Philippines to strictly restrain such statements and adhere to the One China principle.
