BEIJING, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) — China has once again called on the Philippines to immediately take effective measures to address the harmful effects of the disinformation and smear campaign against China launched by a member of the Philippines' Coast Guard, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Thursday.

Individuals should not be allowed to continue to provoke incidents, create trouble and act brazenly to avoid further disruption of normal diplomatic relations or further damage to China-Philippine relations, he concluded.
