A former faculty regent of the University of the Philippines (UP) said that China will never go to war with the United States since the US has been known to be the world's super military power.
'That is why America must stop building its military bases in other countries, including the Philippines because China has no intention to engage in violent war in the future,' Professor Roland Simbulan, also the vice chairman of the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG), said at the 'Pandesal Forum' in Quezon City.

It docked at Pier 15 in Manila on Sunday, March 19, 2023 and will leave on Thursday, March 23. Officials said the USS America is in Manila for some 'rest and recreation'. The visit comes as the Philippines and US prepare for the biggest 'Balikatan' military exercises that will include live-fire at the disputed South China Sea. PHOTO BY BERNADETTE E. TAMAYO
