“It Will Be Bloody” – Philippines’ President Duterte Threatens to Send Naval Ships To West Philippines Sea as China Threatens
MANILA, Philippines- President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday said he was prepared to send warships to “stake a claim” in the disputed West Philippine Sea if China should start drilling for oil and taking other resources from the area.
“If we go there file out and to assert our jurisdiction, it will be bloody. It will result in violence that we cannot maybe win,” Duterte said last Monday at a televised briefing admitting that the Philippines will not stand a chance with China.
Inquirer.net report:
“I am addressing myself to the Chinese government. We want to remain friends. We want to share whatever it is. I already told you, the Chinese government: I’m not so much interested now in fishing.
