China says sanctions Philippine defense chief for 'irresponsible' remarks

China said Thursday it has sanctioned the Philippine defense chief for having "repeatedly made irresponsible remarks on China", escalating tensions between Beijing and Manila as they grapple with maritime disputes.

Gilberto Teodoro's rhetoric "undermines China's legitimate interests and sabotages China-Philippines relations", an unnamed foreign ministry spokesperson said in an online statement, without specifying which remarks they were referring to.
