BEIJING: China is ready to work closely with Malaysia, further synergise development strategies and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation.
MANILA: A Philippine senator leading an investigation into a former mayor's alleged links to Chinese criminal syndicates said on Friday she would not rule out her possible involvement in espionage.
"I'm not yet prepared to conclude that she is not involved, or that the people associated with her are not involved in espionage," Senator Risa Hontiveros told foreign correspondents. In earlier hearings, Hontiveros had asked Guo if she was an"asset" for China. Guo, who maintains she is a natural-born Philippine citizen, has denied she is a spy, as well as other accusations against her, calling them malicious.
China's embassy in Manila and Guo's lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the remarks by Hontiveros.
