The United States is working to strengthen economic relations with the Philippines, a senior US Department of State official stressed as she asked whether China’s “promises” in the past had actually generated jobs for Filipinos. | krixiasINQ /PDI
“As we strengthen our ability to work together, there are contracts that come with that, and the vast majority of those are going to Philippine businesses,” she said.
Nuland noted: “We’ve seen a lot of promises from Beijing, but how many of those promises have actually been converted to jobs, to climate investments that bring benefit to the people?… That’s part of what we’re working on right now.” In April 2019, when Duterte visited China for the fourth time as president, the government reported $12.16 billion investment and trade deals with Chinese partners for energy, petrochemical, industrial park and infrastructure projects. A total of 19 business agreements were signed and were projected to create some 21,000 new jobs.
