PHILSTAR: JARIUS BONDOC
Obama was NON-COMMITTAL, when asked if America would come to their defense too should Beijing make good its threat forcibly to eject a Philippine Navy vessel from a nearby shoal. Obama's double standard was painfully obvious. In Tokyo he had stated outright that the disputed SENKAKU ISLES BELONG TO JAPAN, so China should lay off. Six days later in Manila, he quibbled that AMERICA TAKES NO SIDE IN TERRITORIAL TIFFS nor is out to "contain China," so he hoped that the latter would "listen to her neighbors."
