“Taiwan smoothly completed democratic elections on January 13 and received heartfelt congratulations from more than 100 countries worldwide,” the Taiwanese ministry said.
“However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has noted that since Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. congratulated Taiwan, China has been strongly pressuring the Philippines and making crude and insulting comments,” it added.
