MANILA, Philippines – China should consider itself a "Big Uncle" to smaller countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), said Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in a speech Saturday, September 8, at the Chinese city of Nanning. In her keynote speech at the China-ASEAN Mayors' Forum, Arroyo said that "management of border relations between a superpower like China and the much-smaller countries in the ASEAN can be a sensitive matter."
