This article examines the Philippines' two approaches to China's emergence as a power. The first is the Philippines' strategy of equi-balancing the United States and China in the early years of the 21st century. During this period, the country revived and strengthened its security arrangements with the United States while at the same time, it obtained economic and politico-diplomatic concessions from East Asia's emergent power, China. The second is the Philippines' strategic balancing policy on China. Since 2011, the Aquino Administration has been conducting a delicate balancing act vis-à-vis China, which has become aggressive in asserting its sovereignty over the South China Sea. Currently, the Philippines seeks U.S. diplomatic support and security guarantees in relation to its territorial row with China. In the process, President Aquino has discarded his predecessor's policy of equi-balancing the great powers and tilted the balance in favor of the United States. This policy shift that entails American and Japanese strategic backing doubtlessly enhances the Philippine-U.S. alliance but strains Philippine-China bilateral relations. 2016-04-01T07:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty_research/2110 Faculty Research Work Animo Repository Philippines--Foreign relations--China China--Foreign relations--Philippines Philippines--Foreign relations--United States United States--Foreign relations--Philippines Balance of power International Relations
