China has imposed sanctions on former Philippine senator Francis Tolentino for his egregious conduct on China-related issues and will bar him from entering the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday. 

For quite some time, driven by selfish interests, a handful of anti-China politicians in the Philippines have made malicious remarks and moves on issues related to China that are detrimental to China's interests and China-Philippines relations, the spokesperson said.

The Chinese government is firmly resolved to defending national sovereignty, security and development interests, the spokesperson noted.
