Can Philippines and China still find common ground and engage in productive dialogue amid growing regional tensions? Catch the interview on Friday, July 4

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines and China have long faced rising tensions over maritime issues as incidents at sea and political friction intensify over the years.

China continues to harass not only Filipino fishermen but also authorities patrolling the country’s waters. At the same time, Beijing has ramped up pressure through various means, including disinformation campaigns targeting the Philippines. A peaceful resolution then seems increasingly out of reach given these developments.

On Friday, June 13, Rappler editor-at-large Marites Vitug sits down with political scientist Enrico Gloria to explore whether the Philippines and China can still find common ground and engage in productive dialogue amid growing regional tensions.

Gloria is an assistant professor of the Department of Political Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman. His research interests include China’s foreign policy discourses and Philippines-China relations, among others.

Can peaceful relations happen between the Philippines and China? How can China build mutual trust with its neighbors in Southeast Asia?
