Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said his country could not remain neutral if China were to invade Taiwan, due to its geographical proximity and the large number of citizens working there.

“If there is an all-out war, we will be drawn into it,” Marcos said in an interview with Indian news website Firstpost, while in New Delhi for a state visit on Aug. 6.
