Marcos should press China on SCS issues

PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. may not get an opportunity for bilateral talks with his Chinese counterpart soon, but the Philippines should continue pressing China for dialogue on sensitive geopolitical issues. Earlier, Mr. Marcos said he hoped to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asean Summits in Cambodia. As the event got underway, China announced that it was instead sending Premier Li Keqiang to Cambodia. And as of press time, there was no scheduled meeting between President Marcos and Premier Li, according to Philippine officials.
