Boycott China products’ call pag-isipan, ayon sa NEDA chief
Walang saysay kung ibo-boycoot ng Pilipinas ang mga produkto ng China.
Sinabi ito ni National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Sec. Arsenio Balisacan sa panawagan na i-boycoot ang mga produkto na gawa ng China sa gitna ng panggugulo sa West Philippine Sea.
Ayon kay Balisacan mas makabubuti kung titingnan ng mas malawak ang isyu sa katuwiran na wala sa kasaysayan sa buong mundo na naging epektibo ang boycott.
“I think we have to look at this issue in a broader scale. I don’t think that in the history of the world that boycott will work. That has been proven many times in the history of nations,” pahayag ni Balisacan.
Malinaw naman kasi aniya ang pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. na kaibigan ng lahat ng bansa ang Pilipinas.
“So, we have to, you know as the President said, we are enemy to none, we are a friend to all, so let’s keep it that way. We just have to use the diplomatic channels to get our issues addressed,” pahayag ni Balisacan.
Hindi aniya magandang tingnan kung puputulin ng Pilipinas ang relasyon sa ibang bansa.
“But the economy must, by all cost be protected. So, that’s what you don’t want na—we don’t want to cut. All these economies, including China or even particularly China, are now part of the global value chain. Our economy is part of the global value chain. We are linked to China directly or indirectly. And that should not be the approach that we take in dealing with our neighbor,” sabi pa ni Balisacan.
Una rito, sinabi ni Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri na dapat nang iboycott ng Pilipinas ang mga produktong gawa mula sa China.
