BEIJING, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced his "separation" from the United States on Thursday, declaring that it had "lost" and he had realigned with China as the two agreed to resolve their South China Sea dispute through talks.
Duterte made his comments in China, where he is visiting with at least 200 business people to pave the way for what he calls a new commercial alliance as relations with longtime ally the United States deteriorate.
His trade secretary, Ramon Lopez, said $13.5 billion in deals would be signed
Duterte's efforts to engage China, months after a tribunal ruling in the Hague over South China Sea disputes in favor of the Philippines, marks a reversal in foreign policy since the 71-year-old former mayor took office on June 30.
"America has lost now," Duterte told Chinese and Philippine business people at a forum in the Great Hall of the People, attended.........

So much for the blood spilt 1941-1945
Direct fallout of obama’s utter lack of a coherent foreign policy. It stinks to have an Idiot as president.
Another Obama/Hillary foreign policy failure.
Yeah let's see how that works out for you.
For us or the Philippines? Or both?
We all saw this coming just as if Hillary becomes POTUS we can see the loss the reserve status of the USD coming.
Clinton’s tenure in the State Department.
“loss the” should be “loss of the”
Not sure who is dumber, Obozo or Duterte
You need to learn to multitask. Both these guys are idiots.
Looks like our foreign policy is on its own Bataan Death March.
With Hillary, it is a sure thing that Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia will fall into China’s orbit because they aren’t going to align with a nation that elects a nut like that.
Thailand may become a bit shaky for us, and Vietnam isnt going to cause China any issues as well.
Both.
It won’t, Maybe Uncle Donald will fix it...(?)
Good point. You’re right, of course.
On the other hand, the whole point of a good foreign policy is to deal effectively with idiots and tyrants, who exist all over the globe.
Our current president - not to mention his erstwhile Secetary of State - have dreadfully mismanaged things.
Ig hillary gets into the White House, this sort of stuff will only increase in frequency and severity.
A strong ally for one hundred years. Pissed away by Zero and Madame Secretary.
Go Trump!
Time to break out the “Reset Button”.
And yet another example of Traitorobama giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and Traitorcongress still does................................................................................. nothing.
Another accomplishment by Obama/Hillary in the diminishment of the US to be just another country among many. Nothing special about her according to the enemy Left in the US. If Trump does not win on November 8, the US is headed to a future of a kleptocracy with a ruling elite and and a dependent mass of permanent Rat voters. Given enough time, Hillary will finish turning the US into something like Cuba or Venezuela with a considerable dash of Islamic terrorism.
This is a result desired by Obama's ideology.
“On the other hand, the whole point of a good foreign policy is to deal effectively with idiots and tyrants, who exist all over the globe”.
OB@stard is both.
