Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte once again demonstrated his unconventional style of global diplomacy on Monday, calling on the U.S. to declare war on China over tensions in the South China Sea.

The strongman leader called on Washington to deploy the U.S. 7th Fleet—some 70 to 80 ships and submarines—to the South China Sea to push China out of the contested region.

The Philippines is one of five nations whose claims in the South China Sea overlap with Beijing's. The area contains rich fishing grounds, vital shipping routes and potential natural resources, but China has dismissed competing claims and enforced its control there by building a network of military bases on expanded or man-made shoals and reefs.

Wow, he may just be talking about the area where China is building those artificial islands, South China Sea but still.

Duterte calls for US to attack China over South China Sea dispute
By John Bowden - 07/09/19 05:14 PM EDT

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte called on the U.S.'s Seventh Fleet to engage Chinese forces in the South China Sea on Monday, arguing that America should support the Philippines with military force if China does not respect international shipping lanes.

CNN reported that Duterte made the comments to reporters Monday night, telling journalists that the U.S. should "bomb everything" controlled by China in the region unless China's government cedes control of the Spratly Islands and other land masses in the area over which the country claims control.

"I want the whole seventh fleet of the armed forces of United States of America there," he reportedly said.
