Episode 20. The Phillipines (Duterte and the South China Sea)

Listen to this episode on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Libsyn RSS

Rundown:

The South China sea is the new battleground between Beijing and Washington with the winner controlling the trades routes; and therefore the future of Asia. Caught in the middle is The Philippines, now torn between their military partners in Washington and their economic partners in Beijing, with the decision-maker being a wildly popular president accused of numerous human rights abuses. Manila is the linchpin for both sides, and we ask our guests in which direction the nation is heading.
