Revenge of Taiwan Against the Philippines: Diplomatic Row

Taiwan has retaliated against the Philippine government by ordering the recall of its arepresentative to Manila, following the Aquino administration’s decision to extradite 14 Taiwanese to China.

Taiwanese media, quoting a Taipei Foreign Ministry statement issued late Monday, said Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (Teco) Representative Lee Chuan-tung, Taipei’s de-facto ambassador to the Philippines, is being recalled over the “inappropriate” deportation of the Taiwanese nationals to China. The ministry also said it will strictly screen all visa applications of Philippine nationals who are seeking employment in Taiwan.

Teco officials in Manila would not confirm if Lee has already left the country.

Manila does not have diplomatic ties with Taiwan, a democratic self-governing island that has been separated from the Chinese mainland since 1949, but still claimed by China as part of its territory.

Taiwan last week warned that it will “reexamine” its relations, including cooperation projects, with Manila as a consequence when the Taiwanese, along with 10 Chinese nationals, were deported to Beijing, despite Taiwan’s early request to Manila to deport its nationals to Taiwan. This request was reportedly ignored by the Aquino government.

Taiwan is home to around 100,000 Filipino workers.  Majority are employed in electronic assembly and manufacturing factories while around 20,000 work as caregivers, earning at least P30,000 a month.

Teco’s counterpart, the Manila Economic and Cultural Office (Meco) expressed regret over the incident and appealed to Taipei not to let the incident harm its strong ties with the Philippines.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
