Marcos: Beijing misinterpreted remarks on Taiwan
The Philippine Star
|August 12, 2025
President Marcos has rejected Beijing's accusation that he was "playing with fire" with his recent statement on a possible outbreak of war between China and Taiwan, saying he may have been "misinterpreted for propaganda purposes."
"I don't know what they are talking about. Playing with fire? I was just stating facts," Marcos said at a press conference yesterday. "We do not want to go to war."
He said he was simply stating facts when he said in an interview with Indian news outlet Firstpost in New Delhi on Aug. 6 that Manila would be dragged “kicking and screaming” into any war in Taiwan – which would likely involve the US – and must prepare for it.
