US airs fears on RP’s alliance shift to China — WikiLeaks
By Michaela P. del Callar12/09/2010
The United States has warned that China might exert economic pressure on Washington’s South East Asian allies, including the Philippines, forcing them to shift their alliance to Beijing, according to online whistle-blower WikiLeaks.
This information is contained in one of the more than 250,000 classified US State Department documents divulged by the controversial Web site.
As of Wednesday, 1,060 of 251,287 secret and confidential diplomatic documents can be viewed online at WikiLeaks Web site and updates are being made daily even as its founder Julian Assange surrendered to British police in London last Tuesday in relation to a Swedish sex-crimes investigation against him. He is now detained in a prison although the British police never divulge at which prison a detainee is.
