Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro on June 12, 2025, a day after being sanctioned by Beijing, criticized China's actions as 'evil' and vowed to continue his duties. The Chinese Foreign Ministry imposed sanctions on Teodoro and his close relatives the previous day, citing his repeated 'fallacies about China.' The sanctions include a ban on entry to mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, as well as a prohibition on transactions. The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs called the move 'an unfriendly act' that further complicates bilateral relations.
