Marcos gets nowhere with Trump

This editorial of mine was recently published on CGTN.

Here’s an excerpt:

Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., the president of the Philippines, would be smart to reconsider his public thoughts about China's Taiwan region. More importantly, he might want to change his mind about the island.

During his visit to India, the president reportedly said there was "no way that the Philippines could stay out" of any China-U.S. "confrontation" over Taiwan. He added that if "there is an all-out war (across the Taiwan Straits), we will be drawn into it. We will have to defend our territory and our sovereignty."
