China lifts Filipino bans, restrictions as US relations with Manila cool
CHINA moved to roll back economic sanctions on the Philippines and ramp up investment in the wake of this week's Beijing visit by Rodrigo Duterte, who this week promised to distance Manila from the US, reports London's Financial Times.
