MANILA, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The Philippines may benefit if
there is a renewed emphasis on Asia by the new administration of
U.S. President Joe Biden, which could help act as a
counterbalance to China in the region, the country's defence
minister said on Friday.
The longstanding geopolitical rivalry between Washington and
Beijing will continue to test the Southeast Asian nation's
adeptness in balancing relations, Defence Secretary Delfin
Lorenzana told a forum.
