Philippines' military drills with U.S. opposed by regional countries: Chinese FM spokesperson

Beijing, Apr 21 (UNI) The Philippines' decision to conduct the large-scale military drills with the United States has been detested and opposed by regional countries, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said here on Monday.
Spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the remarks in response to the annual military drills between the United States and the Philippines, which started on Monday. The exercise has come as Beijing and Manila are in a dispute over the South China Sea.
