Description:

Description:
- With more amicable relations with China under the Duterte Administration, we may attract more Chinese companies to participate in our massive infrastructure projects in the coming six years. In more than 20 years of building the most modern infrastructures in the world today, Chinese companies have accumulated a great deal of expertise in building airports, tollways, bullet trains, dams, and other infrastructure. Some of them can participate in the Swiss challenges that will be highly encouraged by the Duterte administration. Also, we may obtain substantial financing from the China Infrastructure Bank that was recently established, in which the Philippines is a participating member. The slowdown in China may actually benefit us in that their infrastructure companies will be aggressively looking for business opportunities in the ASEAN economic community.

The past 20 years of history show us a basic truth: East Asian cooperation sails far in times of calm in the South China Sea, and stagnates in the shadows of uncertainty in this region.

Description:
- CHINA’s growing global clout can be unsettling for the incumbents who must make room for it. At the same time, China’s recent financial tumult has been unnerving for the investors exposed to it. This combination of vastness and vulnerability has left some people afraid of China and others afraid for it. Both groups have found reason to worry about the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which has just held its initial annual meeting in Beijing and approved its first $509m-worth of projects.
