Xi: sit! Now roll over! Good! Now beg!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

MANILA, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said on Friday he will meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping at the sidelines of the APEC Summit in San Francisco to discuss tensions and formulate ways forward in the South China Sea.

“We will get the view of the Chinese president on what we can do to bring down the temperature, to not escalate the situation in the West Philippine Sea,” Marcos said in a video message.

“We will put together the ways forward because we are continuously trying to maintain the peace,” Marcos said ahead of a meeting with Xi at the sidelines of the APEC Summit in San Francisco.

Marcos said he also discussed South China Sea issues with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

The Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016 said the line on China’s maps had no legal basis, which Beijing rejects.

The Department of Foreign Affairs also called on China to remove all “illegal structures” it built within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, cease reclamation in those areas and be accountable for the damage the activities caused.
