PH urges US, China to 'manage rivalry' amid rising tensions in Taiwan

Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo says any kind of escalating tension or military conflict would have adverse repercussions in the region, especially in the Philippines due to proximity.

Amid rising tensions in Taiwan, the Philippines has urged global powers United States and China to"manage their strategic rivalry with dialogue” and"sincere engagement.”

"As responsible powers, each with a stake in the region's long term peace and security, Washington and Beijing need to manage their strategic rivalry with dialogue, transparent and sincere engagement where possible," he added. China has repeatedly warned against Tsai's meeting with McCarthy and has threatened to take"strong and resolute measures" if it proceeded.

Manalo said any kind of escalating tension or military conflict would have adverse repercussions in the region, especially in the Philippines due to proximity.
