2024年10月29日,第13届东盟防长扩大会议在菲律宾宿雾举行。 1 中国未派遣国防部长董军出席此次会议,而是改由驻菲律宾大使馆国防武官杨雷作为代表参加。 1 《环球时报》指出,这是自2010年首届会议以来,中方派出的参会官员级别最低的一次。 1 此举被视为在中菲因南海争议导致关系紧张背景下的一种外交降级反应。 1
中国国防部发言人张晓刚指责菲律宾放任个别政客设障,阻碍中方正常参会。 1 张晓刚称菲方行为“肆意妄为、公器私用”,破坏了东盟协商一致原则及外交礼仪。 1 此前,北京已于2024年6月宣布制裁菲律宾国防部长铁欧多洛及其家属。 1 中国驻菲使馆还声称,在近一个月内,菲方实施海上“严重侵权挑衅”至少10次。 1
China did not send its defense minister to the 13th ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus (ADMM+) held in Cebu, Philippines, on October 29, 2024, opting instead for a lower-level representative amid heightened tensions over the South China Sea 1. The Chinese delegation was led by Yang Lei, the defense attaché at the Chinese embassy in the Philippines, rather than Defense Minister Dong Jun 1. This decision marks the lowest level of official representation by China since the inaugural ADMM+ meeting in 2010, according to the Global Times 1.
Zhang Xiaogang, a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of National Defense, criticized Manila for allowing individual politicians to create obstacles that hindered Beijing's participation, describing these actions as "reckless" and a misuse of public authority 1. Zhang asserted that such behavior undermines the principle of consensus within ASEAN and violates diplomatic etiquette 1. The downgrade in attendance follows months of friction, including China's June 2024 sanctions against Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and his family 1. Additionally, the Chinese embassy in the Philippines stated that Manila had carried out at least ten instances of "serious infringement and provocation" at sea within the preceding month 1.
