MANILA STANDARD: OBAMA: US GOAL NOT TO STIFLE CHINA
Hours after the US signed an agreement to bring more American troops to the Philippines, US President Barack Obama said Washington's goal was not to contain China amid a festering territorial dispute over the West Philippine Sea. "We do not have claims in this area territorially. We are an Asia Pacific nation and our primary interest is the peaceful resolution of conflict, freedom of navigation that allows for continued progress and prosperity."
