Pumalag ang China kontra sa mga pahayag at pagkondenang inilabas ng US Embassy in the Philippines kaugnay sa anila’y “dangerous blocking” at “irresponsible maneuvers” na ginawa ng Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) at People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) sa gitna ng isang lawful Philippine Rotation and Resupply (RoRe) mission sa Ayungin Shoal noong Huwebes, Setyembre 24.

Very floral. Couldn't taste the jasmine.

It's ok. Para lang maiba. Hehe. Tastes strong. Probably needs to be steeped less. Only followed the instructions I found on Google Gemini. Next time will steep for less time.

This was from my stash of mini tea cakes from way back.

Excerpt from the article:

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. on Thursday fired back at China after its Foreign Ministry described his remarks during the Seoul Defense Dialogue as “provocations and theatrics.” 

While speaking on stage at the dialogue, Teodor was handed a note stating Beijing’s position on the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award, prompting him to comment on the incident. 

“I’m not an actor, so I don’t know theatrics,” Teodoro said.

Teodoro then questioned what he described as more theatrical conduct, pointing to past statements by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Panganiban or Mischief Reef.
