Description:
- MANILA ― President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s visit to China on October 18-21 raised very serious security concerns in Washington D.C. when the Philippine president announced his intention to “separate” from the U.S. “militarily” and “economically.” Though Duterte clarified that his declaration should not be interpreted as cutting diplomatic ties with its long-time security ally, his many “anti-American” overtures since he assumed office more than three months ago were already making the United States very uncomfortable.

- Will there be a strategic overdraft in China? To some extent, there could be. But it's under control for the moment. Overdraft means using wealth or strength beyond one's capacity to sustain. Even if Beijing is putting an increasing amount of effort into a wide range of fields, nothing has happened yet which it hasn't been able to manage.

The sum covers $9 billion in soft loans and $15 billion in economic deals. Agreements involving Chinese companies will help develop energy, mines, ports and railways in the Philippines.

- Like a play looking for a plot, President Duterte’s “diplomatic war” with the United States is one in search of a valid reason and a just cause. We are dumbfounded by its sheer opacity, and the prospect that we shall ever see the real reason and cause for it seems rather remote. It is beginning to look like like a border war between two states that have no common border to begin with.
