MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Southeast Asian leaders will express serious concern over territorial disputes in the South China Sea when they gather in an annual summit in Manila this week, but a draft of a communique to be issued at the end of the meeting indicates they will adopt subdued language on a conflict that has increasingly alarmed Asian and Western governments. The statement issued by Laos last year, when it led the 10-nation regional bloc, had a longer discussion of the territorial rifts and expressed concerns over "land reclamations," a reference to China's newly built islands in the disputed waters, although it did not mention the Asian superpower by name. Duterte, who took office last June, has moved to repair relations with China which have been strained by the territorial conflicts while taking a hostile stance toward his country's treaty ally, the United States, for criticizing his bloody crackdown on illegal drugs.
