Newly-elected 16th President of how duteerte of the Philippines and the South China Sea disputes? Ability to turn Sino-Philippine relations? Review the development of Sino-Philippine relations, Arroyo in power is the golden era of the development of Sino-Philippine relations, also in China, Philippines to the joint development of oil and gas resources in Nansha 2005-2008 seismic exploration in the early, opening a successful precedent for joint development in the disputed region of South China Sea. However, since Aquino took office, Sino-Philippine relationship falling sharply, especially in the Philippines the Philippines unilaterally sunk to a low ebb after the dispute submitted to arbitration.

Many longtime relations with Philippines politicians and scholars were worried to retrogression in the relations between China and the Philippines. Recently, the Maritime Center of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines, former Secretary-General aerweituo·aienkemienda said publicly that exacerbated tension in the South China Sea is the Philippines, rather than long accused Western media of China.

"Before the Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations Lauro Baja, and former Foreign Minister, Rosario Manalo has appealed to the Government as soon as possible bilateral negotiations with China over the South China Sea, Rosario Manalo believes that the Philippines unilaterally instituted arbitration has outraged the South China Sea, China, resulting in deterioration of the situation in the South China Sea. BA viella hotels, University of the Philippines Professor Erin pointed out that bilateral dialogue is the right way to building mutual trust between China and the Philippines, are seen only through bilateral dialogue and consultation in order to make China's sincerity in the Philippines.

These people's point of view reflected in the Philippines the Philippine academic and public opinion to improve urgently the relationship between China and the Philippines looked forward to, and in return Philip strong appeal to bilateral dialogue and consultations to solve the dispute.

It was during the Aquino administration, the Philippines on the South China Sea issue in January 2013 unilaterally instituted mandatory arbitration proceedings, resulting in the Sino-Philippine relations came to a standstill. Aquino of the injustice not only runs counter to the Philippines resolve disputes through negotiation, consensus, and this will not help in the resolution of disputes in the Philippines in the South China Sea and has a direct negative impact on Sino-Philippine relations. For example, in the field of politics and diplomacy and the Philippines while maintaining a certain frequency of visits by leaders of the two countries, but on the brink of stagnation in their level in other areas. Began Yu 1991 of two diplomatic sector official dialogue consultations mechanism total held 19 times official consultations, however by "sea arbitration case" effect, two Zhijian of this regular diplomatic dialogue is Yu June 2013 Hou was forced to stop, so far has "shelved" up 3 years of long; in trade cooperation field, China in recent years on Philippines investment total in ASEAN internal by accounted for of share not rose anti-drop, currently only maintained in 2% around of share, It also reflected from one aspect attractive to invest in the Philippines than before, if that momentum continues to grow, and will have a serious negative impact on Sino-Philippine trade and economic cooperation; in the area of cultural exchange, civil interactions are apparent setbacks, has weakened the humanistic Foundation of bilateral cooperation. Relevant data show that nearly 3 years significantly reduced number of tourists visiting the Philippines, fell by as much as 70%, showing a "Cliff" down trend, China's largest source of foreign tourists from the Philippines dropped to fourth-largest source of foreign tourists.

专家：菲律宾前任高官批评西方妖魔化中国|菲律宾|中菲关系_新闻资讯

　　原标题：专家：菲律宾前高官批评西方妖魔化中国

　　新当选的菲律宾第16任总统杜特尔特会如何处理与中国的南海争议？是否能为中菲关系带来转机？回顾中菲关系的发展历程，阿罗约执政时期是中菲关系发展的黄金时期，中菲越三国也曾于2005至2008年在南沙进行油气资源共同开发的前期地震勘探，开启了南海争议地区共同开发的成功先例。然而，自阿基诺三世上任后，中菲关系迅速下滑，尤其是在菲律宾单方面将中菲南海争议提交仲裁之后跌入低谷。

　　许多长期关注中菲关系的菲律宾政治家和学者都为中菲关系的倒退而忧心忡忡。最近，菲律宾外交部海事中心前秘书长阿尔韦托·埃恩科米恩达就公开表示，加剧南海局势紧张的正是菲律宾方面，而非西方媒体长期指责的中国。他说，中方一直试图和菲方谈判，但菲方一直没有回应。他批评西方在妖魔化中国，“第一个填海造陆的是菲律宾。”菲前常驻联合国代表劳罗·巴哈和前外长罗萨里奥·马纳洛都呼吁政府尽快与中国就南海展开双边谈判， 罗萨里奥·马纳洛认为，菲律宾单方面提起南海仲裁的行为激怒了中国，致使南海局势恶化。菲律宾大学教授艾琳·巴维耶拉指出，双边对话才是中菲重建互信的正确途径，也只有通过双边对话和协商才能让中国看到菲律宾的诚意。菲律宾国防大学教授罗梅尔·班乐义也认为新总统应着力修复中菲关系。这些菲律宾有识之士的观点反映了菲学界和民间舆论对于改善中菲关系的迫切期待，和对中菲回归双边对话协商解决南海争议的强烈呼吁。

　　正是在阿基诺执政期间，菲律宾于2013年1月就南海问题单方面提起强制仲裁程序，从而导致中菲关系急转直下。阿基诺的此番不义之举不仅违背了中菲通过谈判协商解决争议的共识，而且根本无助于解决中菲两国在南海的争议，更对中菲关系产生了直接的负面影响。例如，在政治外交领域，中菲两国虽然保持了一定频率的领导人互访，但在其他各领域的高层次交流却濒于停滞。始于1991年的两国外交部门正式对话磋商机制共举行19次正式磋商，然而受“南海仲裁案”影响，两国之间的这种经常性外交对话却于2013年6月后被迫停止，迄今为止已经“搁置”长达3年之久;在经贸合作领域，中国近几年来对菲律宾投资总额在东盟内部所占的比重不升反降，目前仅维持在2%左右的比重，这也从一个侧面反映出菲律宾对华投资吸引力大不如前，如若这一势头继续发展下去，必将对中菲经贸合作产生严重的不利影响;在人文交流领域，两国民间交流互动更是出现明显倒退，大大削弱了两国合作的人文基础。有关数据显示，近3年来中国赴菲游客人数大幅减少，同比下降幅度达70%之多，呈现出“断崖式”下跌态势，中国也由菲律宾的最大外国游客来源国降为第四大外国游客来源国。可以说，中菲两国关系因为菲律宾提起的“南海仲裁案”所受到的负面影响是全方位、立体化、多层次的，已经危及到中菲两国战略性合作关系的建立。

　　尽管如此，自杜特尔特当选菲总统以来，中菲两国政府努力重拾共识、修复互信，两国高层已经就改善中菲双边关系相互释放了善意。5月30日，习近平主席在杜特尔特当选总统后致以贺电，亦重申中方将努力推动中菲关系重回健康发展轨道的政策立场。同时，杜特尔特当选菲新一届总统后，首先选择在达沃市会见了中国驻菲大使赵鉴华，并明确向中方表示愿致力于改善中菲关系。
