Not long ago, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte embarked on a special trip to visit China. The trip was high-profile because Duterte was apparently not in good health, and his arrival in China with the support of crutches did not deter him from pursuing Sino-Philippine relations. The Chinese side received him warmly and appreciated his important contributions to friendly exchanges between the two countries during his tenure as President of the Philippines. Duterte expressed his willingness to continue to play a role in promoting friendly cooperation between China and the Philippines. Upon returning home, he was invited by the current president, Marcos, and the two had a private one-on-one exchange.
After Duterte returned from his visit to China, Marcos received him alone
Recently, Philippine President Marcos received Duterte alone at the presidential palace, and the two sides had an in-depth conversation that lasted for two hours. In addition to discussing their recent trip to China, the two leaders discussed "other issues," according to a statement from the Philippine president's communications office, and Duterte also offered some valuable suggestions to Marcos.
Marcos warmly welcomed Duterte's visit to China, especially supported the establishment of new communication channels, and looked forward to Duterte's important role in this new channel. As a former president, Duterte maintained the economic development of the Philippines and balanced relations with China and the United States. Under his leadership, the Philippines' approval rating was as high as 80 percent, a level never reached by any other former president, showing that his governing strategy was approved by the Filipino public.
Duterte spoke privately with Marcos on how to get along with China and the United States
Marcos can learn a lot from Duterte's experience, including how to deal with China and the United States, and even Duterte's policy practices. In addition, Duterte is not only a political ally of Marcos, but also the father of Vice President Sarah, which makes him more closely linked to the Marcos government and not seen as an outside power. As a result, Duterte's proposal will be more acceptable and Marcos will not feel embarrassed to be guided. Their one-on-one private chat promises to delve into key topics.
During Duterte's administration, he successfully found a balance between China and the United States, which is crucial for the Marcos administration. The Philippines is both a neighbor of China and an ally of the United States, so it must proceed cautiously between China and the United States. How to find a way to get along with China and the United States according to the current international situation is the key focus of exchanges between the leaders of the two countries.
China-Philippines relations have recently experienced fluctuations
In the game between China and the United States, from the perspective of the Philippines, the most critical issue is the dispute between the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. During Duterte's administration, the Philippines firmly supported the one-China principle and avoided touching on the Taiwan issue. On the South China Sea issue, the Philippines chose to shelve territorial disputes and warned the Philippine military not to participate in US military exercises in the South China Sea.
However, after Marcos came to power, the Philippines' military cooperation with the United States increased, especially at four military bases near the Taiwan Strait, which caused some controversy, especially in the context of tensions in the Taiwan Strait. In addition, the Philippines has brought its largest patrol vessel into the South China Sea, where there have been some standoffs with China. These actions have led to fluctuations in Sino-Philippine relations. Judging by a series of statements by Marcos, he hopes to maintain a balance between China and the United States and benefit both countries. However, the Philippine military has acted beyond his expectations, which is one of the reasons why he is constantly adjusting the Secretary of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff, but it remains to be seen whether this will achieve the desired effect.
After Marcos came to power, the United States stepped up its efforts to fight for the Philippines
The Philippine military has maintained close ties with the United States for years, even under Duterte, though Duterte has become more vigilant and demanded more specific terms of cooperation to maintain the balance between China and the United States. Judging from the statement released by the Philippine presidential office, Duterte not only brought back information from China, but also made some suggestions on "other issues". These questions are likely to involve how to handle relations with the United States, given Duterte's extensive diplomatic experience, and his advice could be very helpful for the Marcos administration in dealing with U.S.-China relations. Believe by Duterte
It is suggested that the Marcos government will be able to handle the complex relationship with China and the United States more steadily and restore stability to China-Philippines relations.
In general, Duterte's visit to China and his private exchanges with Marcos have provided new opportunities and directions for the future direction of China-Philippines relations. The close ties and potential for cooperation between the two leaders will help address current challenges, especially in finding a balance between the U.S. and China. A foreign policy of maintaining stability is crucial for the Philippines as it is both a neighbor and an ally of the United States.
Under the current international situation, the stability of China-Philippines relations is of great significance to regional peace and prosperity. Through exchanges and cooperation between Duterte and Marcos, we can expect China-Philippines relations to continue to develop in the future and make greater contributions to the common interests of the two countries and the region. In this uncertain era, wisdom and flexibility will be the key to managing complex diplomatic relations, and China and the Philippines are expected to jointly meet the challenges and achieve win-win results.
