Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun’s Regular Press Conference on February 12, 2025 Shenzhen TV: Competent department announced a visa-free policy for tourist groups from ASEAN countries visiting Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, which took effect from February 10. Figures show that China received more than 3.43 million inbound tourists from 175 countries and regions during the Spring Festival holiday this year, up by 6.2 percent year-on-year. Commentators attributed the phenomenon to the policies that China has rolled out to facilitate cross-border travel. What’s your comment and does China plan to introduce more steps to promote inbound travel? Guo Jiakun: Today is the Chinese traditional festival—the Lantern Festival, and I want to wish all of you and your family happiness, great health and auspiciousness. Having first-hand experience of folk custom in China seem to have become quite trendy during this year’s Spring Festival, and the Chinese people welcomed foreign visitors with warm hospitality. Top destinations in China have enabled foreign tourists to make mobile payments smoothly and conveniently. Latest data show that during the Spring Festival holiday, the total number of transactions made by international tourists that were processed by China UnionPay and NetsUnion Clearing Corporation increased by 124.54 percent year-on-year, and the total transaction value grew by 90.49 percent. Localities and departments in China also rolled out facilitating measures in the cultural and tourism sector in an effort to support the visa-free policies, such as higher clearance efficiency, more convenient language services, better accommodation, catering, sightseeing and other services throughout the travelers’ journey, and the pilot “Buy Now, Refund Now” service for efficient departure tax refunds. From online services to brick-and-mortar stores, from customs counter to store counter, the smooth travel experience everywhere and anytime in China has made foreigners feel like home, and helped them see an open, confident, culturally advanced, and safe and secure China. The latest policies, including the 110-plus steps in facilitating cross-border travel, unilateral visa-free policy for 38 countries and the 240-hour visa-free transit, speak to China’s firm commitment to high-standard opening up, and serve as China’s concrete steps in building an open world economy. Going forward, China will continue its effort of improving inbound travel policies and putting more countries on the visa-free list, and present a credible, amiable and respectable image of China to foreign friends.

Happy #LanternFestival! The Lantern Festival, which falls on Feb. 12 this year, is a cherished Chinese tradition filled with the sweetness of glutinous #riceballs, the beauty of #lanterns, and the sparkle of fireworks.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun’s Regular Press Conference on February 12, 2025 Bloomberg: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. complained about China during a campaign for his Senate candidates today. He said none of the candidates were applauding China or cheering when their nation’s coast guard vessels were hit by water cannons from Chinese coast guard vessels in the South China Sea. Would the ministry like to comment on Marcos’s remarks? Guo Jiakun: Let me respond by adapting his sentence: none of the Chinese people would refrain from a lawful and legitimate response, doing nothing when China is hit by infringement and provocation from the Philippines. China opposes exploiting the South China Sea issue for political manipulation.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun’s Regular Press Conference on February 12, 2025 CCTV: Recently Philippine leader said that he doesn’t understand China’s comments on the missile system in the Philippines. He said, “we don’t make any comments on their missile systems and their missile systems are a thousand times more powerful than what we have.” He also offered to remove the Typhon missile system deployed by the U.S. military from his country if China ceases its “aggressive and coercive behaviour” in the South China Sea. Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro says that the Philippines plans to acquire its own midrange system, and they have the right to field these deterrent capabilities. What is China’s comment? Guo Jiakun: Regarding the U.S. deployment of Mid-Range Capability (MRC) missile system in the Philippines, China has made clear the grave harm of such deployment and stated our firm opposition to it on multiple occasions. On this issue, the Philippines has gone back on its words again and again. The Philippines has explained itself multiple times regarding the introduction of the Typhon system, pledging that the deployment was “temporary,” and that the system will be shipped out of the country after relevant military exercises. However, it has breached such commitments, claiming they would acquire its own midrange system and field these deterrent capabilities, and linking the South China Sea issue with the Typhon system. This is not only ridiculous but also extremely dangerous. As is widely known, Typhon MRC missile system is a strategic offensive weapon, which puts a large number of Southeast Asian countries within its range. The U.S. deployment of the system in the Philippines severely damages peace and stability in the region, and harms the legitimate security interests of other countries. The Philippines has worked with the US to bring in the Typhon system. It’s placing its national security and defense in the hands of others and introducing geopolitical confrontation and risk of arms race into the region, which does no one good. China will not sit idly by when its security interests are harmed or threatened. Countries in the region will by no means accept this move that goes against the trend of the times. We call on the Philippines to change its course, and make a strategic choice that truly serves the fundamental interest of itself and its people, rather than staying on the wrong path and hurting the Philippines itself when it comes to issues like Typhon.

南部战区新闻发言人田军里空军大校表示，2月12日，中国人民解放军南部战区位南海海域进行例行巡航。近期，菲律宾多次拉拢域外国家组织所谓“联合巡航”，企图通过军事挑衅和舆论鼓噪，掩盖其非法侵犯中国海洋权益、蓄意破坏南海地区和平稳定的事实。中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益具有充分的历史依据和法理依据，不容置喙和侵犯。战区部队持续保持高度戒备，坚决捍卫国家领土主权和海洋权益，任何搅局南海的军事活动尽在掌握。
