Can Duterte look beyond the loans and projects dangled before his eyes by the Chinese? Does he remember what happened when President Arroyo tried what he is now doing? To the Northrail project and NBN-ZTE? Duterte has poor, small time drug pushers killed. He licks ass with the country that, by his own admission, is the main source of shabu. Does he think the Chinese will back off from the nine dash line? What will Duterte do if/when the Chinese build a military outpost in Scarborough?
