Marco Rubio, the American Secretary of State, will have a meeting with Wang Yi, his Chinese counterpart, on Wednesday during the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting taking place in Manila. This meeting comes in the context of American condemnations regarding China's actions in the South China Sea and accusations from President Donald Trump about Beijing's interference in the US elections. Tensions in the South China Sea, where the US and its allies denounce China's "dangerous" behavior, risk influencing the discussions. Rubio emphasized the American commitment to freedom of navigation in Southeast Asia. The meeting will also address topics such as the war in the Middle East and allegations of electoral piracy. Rubio avoided confirming whether he would discuss these issues directly with Wang Yi, mentioning that he expects Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the US in September.
