総理より、比アキノ政権に対しどう考えているかと質したところ、鄧主任は、中国は友好的政策をとる。アキノ政権の傾向は良いと思う。また同政権の前途には多くの困難があろうが、中国は同政権を困らせるようなことはしない。共産党やゲリラの問題もあるが、中国はゲリラを助けたりはしない。このことは比にもはっきり伝えた。
（総理より、明１０日アキノ大統領と会うので、以上の主任の話を伝えて良いかと質したところ）結構である。
比に転電した。

Secret, Urgent
[…]
When asked by the Prime Minister what he thought of the Aquino administration, Deng said that China has a friendly policy. I think the trend of the Aquino administration is good. And while there will be many difficulties ahead for the regime, China will not do anything to embarrass the regime. There are problems with the Communist Party and the guerrillas, but China doesn't help the guerrillas. This was clearly communicated to the Philippines.
(The Prime Minister asked if he could tell them the above story as he is meeting with President Aquino on May 10.) That's fine.
[Cable] relayed to the [Japanese diplomatic missions in] the Philippines.
Chairman Deng explains China's relations with the Philippines.
