Man in the Middle: Rodrigo Duterte Gets a Taste of China’s Heavy Hand
Untested Philippines tough guy finds himself at the heart of a U.S.-China contest

DAVAO CITY, Philippines—Rodrigo Duterte, the newly elected Philippine president, is used to being treated with the utmost respect.

In a previous job, as mayor of the southern city once without this law, the fight against drug traffickers leaving a trail of bullet-riddled corpses, the operation target police and vigilante death squads. He roared through the streets on a motorcycle that brings high-caliber rifle.

But on the afternoon of July 12 Mr. Duterte was upset, according to one of his closest aides. He felt China toying with him.

A cabinet meeting just received word directly from Den Haag Manila stunning victory in a legal challenge to the Chinese claims in the South China Sea, and after clapping happily noisy and fist- pumping around the table the first order of business is to issue a statement public. A minister spoke up: He had eaten the night before with the Chinese ambassador.

That got the attention of Mr. This Duterte. “Are you a spy from China?” He demanded, in a kind of seductive way, according to an aide who was in the room.

Minister then passed a long and detailed list of demands from the delegates about what the Philippine government should say-and did not say when the verdict came out. Anticipating defeat, panic at the prospect that China may issue a statement arrogant Manila that will add insult her.

Mr. Duterte turned serious. What annoyed him, said people in the room, it was more than just impudence of Chinese demands. The president has met with the ambassador himself earlier on the same day to offer a guarantee. “Does he not believe what I say to him?” Asked Mr. Duterte.

“Between us guys,” he said, “I’ll say a few things, but because the embassy wanted to tell them, I would not.”

Chinese Embassy in Manila did not respond to requests comment.

Philippine leaders are getting a quick lesson in Chinese heavy-handedness.

He was in the midst of an epic contest between China and the US for regional supremacy. In the eyes of many Chinese nationalists, Manila is little more than an American pawn in this great game. Does Mr Duterte, entirely untested on the global stage, temperament and political skills to maneuver between the two giants?

Towards the surprising unilateral decisions that struck China’s historic claims to the South China Sea and said that China had violated the rights of Manila by building artificial islands, reefs and expel despoiling fishermen in waters -Bapak. Duterte’s critics felt the urge to retreat.

In the campaign, he even suggested he could trade for the maritime sovereignty railway line China-built house in the impoverished province of Mindanao.

And he promised that he will not put at risk the Philippine troops in conflict with the Chinese they can never win. If necessary, he joked with the usual swagger, he’s riding jet-skis to Scarborough Shoal to defend disputed reef itself.

Mr. Duterte did not choose this legal battle with China; he inherited from his predecessor, Benigno Aquino III. But now Manila has scored a victory he wanted to use it as leverage in bilateral talks. China, however, has rejected the ruling as “a piece of waste paper” and would not negotiate with Manila on that basis.

Washington watching Mr. Duterte carefully. He made no secret of the fact that he does not believe the American security guarantee. Ramon Beleno, a political-science professor at the Ateneo de Davao University, said that while Mr. Aquino believes that Americans “have our backs,” Mr. Duterte “wants a more independent policy that does not require the support of the US”

That does not mean he wants to leave the US alliance. At the cabinet meeting, aides say, he stated he would welcome a show of strength by the American aircraft carrier. “Let them send their ships,” he told ministers. “You tell them.”. Come on already “But I can not say that openly”

However, the word Chito Sta. Romana, President of the Philippine Association of Chinese Studies, “There is a shift.” Mr. Duterte “has hinted he would like to cooperate with Beijing instead of confrontation.”

Mr. Aquino started with the ambition as well. But after a Chinese ship grabbed Scarborough Shoal in 2012 he did about-face and began to compare the Chinese regime to Nazi Germany. He launched a legal case in the next year.

Mr. Duterte is personality-and the more unstable he brings his street-fighting sensitivity to international diplomacy. After winning the presidential election, he initially refused to see the US ambassador who criticized him for shocking joke he made about rape and murder of a lay minister of Australia in 1989. Mr. Duterte later apologized.

China will be hoping he objected manners. In Beijing, “Punisher,” as he’s known as a terror tactic against crime, may have met the match.
