USA/Asian Conference May Offer Opportunity for Détente.
As a First-World nation that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with USA in WWII, Philippines has established its own National Security Policy 2023-2028, which China isn’t too happy about. As a manufacturing powerhouse of the world China produces mostly crap it has copied from other innovative producers. Under President XI China has orchestrated bait-and-switch programs to build overpriced infrastructure projects of low quality to entrap poor neighbor countries in debt. Alaska should build a greater trade relationship with Philippines instead of with China, currently Alaska’s largest trading partner.
