Honestly I am sure the NPA would not consider their blood to be the blood of China's comrades given the situation. Per Joma Sison

Here is their statement on ordering the NPA to target Chinese companies in the Philippines, yes they sent the statement to RFA originally, but that's honestly not surprising. The left wing of the party (often called Stalinists) in Romania who wrote the Letter of the Six used Radio Free Europe to distribute it. Which got some understandable pushback, but you get why they used them. According to very much pro-Stalin Apostol, others who wrote it hated using imperialist means to communicate, but it seems they wanted to be clear this was an internal party thing and not necessarily agents of the USSR.
I don't necessarily agree with the framing 100%, and there is plenty of understandable rhetoric involved as any political statement, but the concerns are interesting to dive into. Here is Marco Valbuena's annotations on Xi's speech on the centennial of the CPC. Plenty of silly hangups, but interesting nonetheless. Above all I get why they want no fucking involvement with foreign industry coming into the Philippines, and no ceding of sovereignty over the waters even if the international law on those zones is biased against China. For them it is a matter of fishing communities being screwed over by major companies and a fear of military encroachment which will put them in the crossfire
