The Philippines’ national security Adviser Eduardo Ano has called for Chinese diplomats to be expelled over an alleged leak of a phone conversation with a Filipino admiral. In a significant escalation of a bitter row over the South China Sea, Ano on May 10, 2024, accused China’s embassy in Manila of orchestrating “repeated acts of engaging and dissemination of disinformation, misinformation and malinformation”. Ano said the actions “should not be allowed to pass unsanctioned without serious penalty”.
