MANILA -- The deepening U.S.-China rivalry, which last week dominated two regional summits, now moves to the Philippines, where Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to make a state visit on Tuesday.
Bloodied by diplomatic sparring with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence during APEC meetings in the Papua New Guinean capital over the weekend, Xi is set to flex China's muscle in Manila, becoming the first Chinese leader to make a state visit there in 13 years.
