"Make no mistake: Gone are the days when the Philippines decides and acts in the shadows of the great powers," he said. -- © Copyright Reuters 2021-07-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenZ Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Some wishful thinking by Duterte. He started kowtowing to the Chinese right from when he first became president, and just walked back on his stance against the VFA, welcoming them back. They will always be in the shadows of the superpowers whether he likes it or not. Edited August 5, 2021 by JensenZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
