Text Size: A+ New Delhi: The Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) hit out at the Chinese Embassy in Manila Monday about the way it spoke of its Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana. Lorenzana had earlier called on Chinese vessels anchored at the vicinity of Julian Felipe, also known as Whitsun Reef, to leave. Whitsun Reef is part of the Philippines’ Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ), though China claims it is included under their ‘nine-dash line’. The nine-dash line, adopted from Chinese maps in the 1940s, represents Beijing’s claim over the South China Sea and all the land features contained within the line.
