> China’s embassy in the Philippines lodged stern representations after a Chinese citizen awaiting repatriation died Tuesday at a Philippine Bureau of Immigration detention facility. The embassy said it had warned that the detainee had serious underlying illnesses, and urged an immediate investigation, a full briefing and severe accountability for any misconduct, along with medical care and humane treatment for detainees.
