Has Duterte really ditched the US for Beijing's embrace?

“The Philippine military is very close to America and relies on full-spectrum American support – logistics, intelligence, finance and training – so I don’t think the military will be happy with severance of ties with the US in favour of China,” he said.

The military is “influential in the sense that they can get rid of any president at some point in time,” Heydarian added. “The Philippines is a country wherecoup d’états have not been very uncommon.”

Shi Yinhong, the Chinese foreign policy scholar, said Duterte’s rapprochement with Beijing was likely to “stimulate further the pro-American forces in the Philippines to undermine his domestic position”.
