His tough rhetoric on the US and softened rhetoric on China, especially compared with his predecessor Aquino III, has worried many in the USThe report finds that people in the Philippines still like the US and have confidence in its leader, President Donald TrumpThe US was believed to be fully behind the scenes when the Philippines, under President Benigno Aquino III, filed the arbitration suit in 2013 against China in a tribunal in The Hague, a case in which China had refused to participateBy comparing these figures, Pew seems to suggest that China and the US are engaging in a popularity contest in the Philippines

A zero-sum mentality about China-US relations is reflected not only in the thinking of some US politicians, but also in a new survey conducted by the Pew Research CenterAccording to the survey, 78 percent in the Philippines have a positive view of the US as of this spring, down from 92 percent who expressed positive sentiments in 2015The US government, lawmakers and pundits have generally expressed negative views of Duterte since he took office last JuneBut Filipinos also share positive views of China and its leader, President Xi Jinping

Fully 86 percent have a favorable view of Duterte himself; 78 percent support his handling of the illegal-drugs issue; and 62 percent say that the Philippines government is making progress in its anti-drug campaignIn 2014, the Philippines was still led by Aquino III

"Only if all sides bear their due responsibilities, can the peninsula nuclear issue be truly resolved and peace and stability restored to the region"The DPRK knows well that China opposes its development of nuclear weapons and nuclear tests, Lu said

"What parties concerned should do now is to strictly and comprehensively implement UN Security Council resolutions and make positive efforts to resolve the issue through dialogue"The current situation on the peninsula is severe and complicated," Foreign Minister spokesperson Lu Kang said at a daily press briefing

The minister said that if there is any change needed, it is the denuclearization of the peninsula, and that would be more comprehensive, thorough and irreversible"Whatever changes may take place, no matter how long it will take, and whatever difficulties we may face, China will stay firmly committed to denuclearizing the peninsula and moving toward talks," he said

Kono said Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs have posed a practical threat to regional peace as well as Japan's security"We call upon the US to honor its 'Four Nos' commitment, and we call upon all parties to play a constructive role in easing tensions," Wang said"We urge the DPRK not to go further on along a dangerous direction," Wang saidIf Japan only discusses sanctions in the absence of dialogue, and even resists dialogue, it will be considered as violating the resolutions

"There is still hope for peace, we must not give up," Wang said during his speech at the UN General Assembly on ThursdayTwelve years have passed since a joint statement was issued from the Six-Party Talks, signed on Sept 19, 2005, Wang said, but things that follow the progressive trend of the times never become outdated and decisions on the right side of history never become obsolete

"There should be no new nuclear weapons state, whether it is in the north or south of the peninsula, whether it is in Northeast Asia or other parts of the world," Wang addedForeign Minister Wang Yi urged Pyongyang not to go further in a dangerous direction, and said there should be no new nuclear state in either of the Koreas or elsewhere

Wang said sanctions and peace talks are both part of the Security Council resolutionsThe remarks came as rhetoric and even personal name-calling has flared up in recent days between Washington and Pyongyang

He said Japan is willing to push forward denuclearization on the peninsula with China and other parties"We hope Japan will behave with caution and play a constructive role on the peninsula nuclear issue, rather than the opposite," he saidAccording to Wang, China is always a force for peace and has made unremitting efforts toward the peaceful settlement of the peninsula nuclear issueThe "Four Nos" refer to Washington's promise not to seek a regime change in Pyongyang, not to seek the collapse of the DPRK government, not to seek acceleration of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and not to send its military north of the 38th parallel, which acts as the boundary between Pyongyang and Seoul
