Manila, New Delhi: It is now almost certain that staunch Republican candidate Donald Trump will win the US presidential election to be held in November. Every country in the world has started calculating how to maintain relations with America under Trump's rule. After India taught China a lesson in Ladakh, Doklam and Arunachal Pradesh, China, which wanted to establish a cyclic rule over the Eastern Gomardha, turned its attention towards the Pacific region. The South China Sea is also a branch of the Pacific Ocean. China started suppressing the countries located in that sea by saying that this sea belongs to our father. The Philippines is located in the South China Sea. Its coastal area (continental shelf) should naturally be dominated by the Philippines, but the Mahabali drag has started increasing and China has claimed the second Thomas Shoal near the Philippines. The warships of the Chinese Coast Guard were also dropping heavy water on the Philippine warships.

To avoid this conflict, there were frequent meetings between the two countries. In which Chinese diplomats have agreed to respect each other's territorial areas. A Philippines official said on the condition of anonymity. It was also said that the official announcement would be made later.

Observers say the US is bound by a defense agreement with the Philippines. Now, if China goes to war, a future Donald Trump administration will go to the aid of its ally. On the other hand, it is not economical for the US to have China in the Pacific region. By that calculation, China will have stopped threatening the Philippines and making a compromise will be a wise decision. The US may want to avoid confrontation.
