Ahead of Duterte's China visit, Beijing firm on SCS
Excerpt
Beijing’s position of not recognizing the United Nations ruling on South China Sea (SCS) arbitration “has not changed a bit,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized ahead of President Duterte’s visit to China from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1. On Friday, Malacañang said Duterte will raise the SCS issue during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said proper handling of the issue would be good for regional peace and stability.
