Duterte on taking China to task over drugs: Not yet

THE DRUG menace can be traced back to mainland China, but there’s a “bigger issue” and it’s not yet time to complain to Beijing, President Rodrigo Duterte has said.

Speaking before his law schoolmates on Sunday night, Duterte aired his grievances over the Chinese angle in the illegal trade, more than a week after revealing the names of three alleged drug lords – two of them in prison – who have ties to China.
