Description:

Chinese media and officials are silent on Philippine President Duterte's effusive praise of China and his remarks on "separation from the US." While Beijing has laid out the red carpet for Rodrigo Duterte this week, and returned the embrace of the Philippine President, it is under no illusion that Manila will pivot away from Washington.
