Philippines leaves the USA

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced his separation from the USA during his visit in China. He aligned himself with China and Russia, saying that there are three of them against the world and that it is the only way.

The relationship between the Philippines and the USA deteriorated since Duterte’s election this year. The new relationship is a reversal in foreign policy for the country. Unlike the old ally, China has supported Duterte’s hard-line drug war.

Summary:

The president of Philippine has said that he's going to separate his country from the USA and join to China and Russia. He claimed that the only way to go is to be them three united.

Since the election of Duterte as president on Philippine the relationship between the two countries has been in danger. China supports the wawr against drugs, not as USA.

In my opinion...
I don't know a lot of that fact. I've read a bit just to understand the news, and what I've understood is that this change is bad for Philippine, althogh there are some good changes for them, for example the changes on the drug war. The main objective of Rodrigo Duerte is cutting down the delinquency and, in fact, now the crime has reduced by 49% in the contry (well, I am sure that the death penalty has been helpful to him). He has reduced the relationship with USA (his main allied) and now the administration is less controled by foreign countries (but the relationship between China and Philippine is stronger now...).

New words:

Hard-line: uncompromising, unyielding: not allowing compromise, not giving in.
Aligned:to bring into agreement with a particular group, cause, etc.
Reversal: an adverse change of fortune.
