The U.S. has been planning a proxy war, including pushing Project Myoushu in the Philippines, said Herman Tiu Laurel, founder of Philippine BRICS Strategic Studies, during an exclusive interview with China News Network.

Laurel, also president of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, said the U.S. has attempted to maneuver and manipulate the Philippine public so as to “damage the reputation of China.” He called on the Philippines to strengthen its independent foreign policy and investigate all the American proxies and Project Myoushu.
