BEIJING: China is downgrading its participation at a key Asean defence meeting in the Philippines this week, following a deepening territorial dispute with the host nation.

Beijing will be represented by the defence attaché of the Chinese embassy to the Philippines at the Asean Defence Ministers’ Meeting in Cebu on October 29, according to an announcement by the People’s Liberation Army Tuesday (Oct 27). That marks a significant downgrade from last year, when China dispatched its Defence Minister Dong Jun to the event in Kuala Lumpur.
