180 duō míng180多名zhōng guó中国zhōng wén中文jiào shī教师lí kāi离开fēi lǜ bīn菲律宾
Recently, more than 180 Chinese teachers who teach Chinese in the Philippines decided to leave the Philippines and return to China because they were worried about their personal safety.
This matter has drawn attention from people in both countries.
It is understood that there are more than 100 Chinese-language schools in the Philippines, and many local students want to learn Chinese.
Teachers from China are very important teaching helpers for local schools.
However, in recent times, some opposing voices have appeared in the Philippines.
Some people have described normal Chinese-language education as political influence and made unfounded accusations.
This has made Chinese teachers working locally and their families feel worried.
For safety reasons, relevant groups arranged for these teachers to return to China.
In response, the Chinese ambassador to the Philippines said that the situation was deeply regrettable.
While attending an event at a university, he pointed out that cultural and educational exchanges are an important foundation of relations between the two countries.
Chinese teaching is only meant to help students learn the language and understand the culture, and it should not face unreasonable accusations.
He hoped that schools and cultural groups in both countries would remain confident and continue promoting educational cooperation, so that the people of the two countries can understand each other better.
Cultural and language exchanges are a bridge for communication between people.
Many people hope that the future environment will be safer and friendlier, so that normal language education will no longer be disrupted.
