「Philippines Marcos wants to renegotiate loans on $4.9 billion China-backed rail projects」:　驚き、スリランカやインドネシア共和国をみてもなんとも思わない?

と思ったら、中国が

Transportation Undersecretary Cesar Chavez said the official development assistance loan agreements for the three projects were considered "withdrawn" after the Chinese government "failed to act on the funding requests" made by the government of then-President Rodrigo Duterte.

一度「いらん」と回答しているではありませんか（笑）。　中国にもこんな時があるんですね～。

Negotiations for the rail projects began in 2018, during the administration of Duterte, who pursued warmer ties with Beijing, setting aside a longstanding territorial spat over the South China Sea in exchange for billions of dollars of aid, loans and investment pledges, including for his infrastructure programme.

なるほど～　根が深そう。

フィリピンは

Marcos has vowed to defend national sovereignty but has spoken strongly of the need to enhance ties with China in other areas.

あちらに転がりそうですね。といっても、中国の公式なで方は「フィリピンさん、悪いが信用ないよ−」という感じなんでしょうか?
