Did US Quitely Sold Nuclear Reactors to China?
(headline from washingtonpost May2015)
Several editorials one prominent from business mirror questioned the sincerity of the United States to its Ally The Philippines. One of its argument is despite the fact that it supported the Philippines in the arbitration case which it won there was no assertive effort from the Obama administration to implement the UN arbitration tribunal ruling.
However it quitely close a deal with China to supply nuclear reactors. In an article by the washington post its cites that a notification to US Congress to renew nuclear cooperation agreement with China has been submitted.

From that article concerns were raised with this nuclear deal that the technology of the reactor coolant could be adapted to improve quiter submarines that are harder to detect.
This has been seen by editorials as one of the proof that questions the Sincerity of US and the Obama Administration to its allies in the Asian Region.
The recent foreign policy shift of President Duterte Administration has just gathered much attention that this quite deals long been shoved in the sidelines are resurfacing.
As the Philippines poised to step back from its long time ally for its own sake for the sake of its people the grandeur of the United States Plan "Pivot to Asia" from Middle east would be hindered and other Asian country like Malaysia and Indonesia closely minitors the development with Philippines and China relations.
There is still more to watch in the development but if its either PRRD is a fool as his critics say or a Diplomatic Genius will be proven in the coming time.
