Since taking office as President of the Philippines in 2016, Duterte has been committed to improving relations with Beijing.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said at a summit involving Xi Jinping on Monday (November 22) that he was “disgusted” by the recent dispute between Chinese ships and the Philippines in the South China Sea.

This is the rare case that the Philippine president, who has always been regarded as friendly to China, expresses his dissatisfaction when facing a Chinese leader.

In the same video conference, Xi Jinping stated that China “resolutely opposes hegemonism and power politics.” He emphasized that China “will never seek hegemony, let alone bullying the small with the big.”

As the situation in the South China Sea has become tense again recently, China hopes to dispel the region’s concerns about China’s rising power and influence at this meeting called the “30th Anniversary of the China-ASEAN Dialogue Relations.”
