Jaya's niece Deepa joins OPS camp, says 'my political journey begins'

China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Lin Jian, warned the US against its plans to build a new ammunition production line in the Philippines, speaking at a press conference in Beijing on Thursday. "The US and its allies should genuinely respect the common aspirations of regional countries, do more to promote peace and stability, and refrain from introducing bloc confrontation, conflict, or war into the Asia-Pacific," he said. "If relevant countries willingly act as 'powder kegs' or 'ammunition depots,' they will ultimately only suffer the consequences," he continued.
