Illustration: Liu Rui/GTUS Pentagon official Elbridge Colby's latest Manila speech, in which he called on allies to "invest more" in their own defense and stressed that Washington wants "partners, not protectorates," has drawn attention from some Philippine media. Colby's claims also expose the fragility of the Manila-Washington alliance and Washington's push to enlist "Indo-Pacific" allies in serving its own strategic interests, a Chinese expert said, warning that the Philippines, by placing itself on the front line of provocations against China, risks being a geopolitical pawn left to bear the consequences on its own.
While delivering a speech at the Stratbase Institute in Manila, Philippines, on Monday, Colby, the Under Secretary of War for Policy, laid out the US' so-called "flexible realism" approach to the Indo-Pacific, stressing that the US is "definitely not disengaging from Asia" but strengthening its forward posture and seeking to build a "denial defense" along the First Island Chain, according to a transcript of the speech released on the US Department of War website.
At the same time, he called on US allies and partners to step up, invest more in their own defense, and take responsibility for their own sovereign security. "We are looking for partners, not protectorates," Colby claimed.
The claims have drawn attention from some Philippine media outlets, with some linking them to the South China Sea issue. However, the transcript of Colby's speech showed that he did not mention China, the Global Times found.
A Manila Bulletin report noted that after calling on allies to invest more in defense, Colby cited the Philippines as an example of the "kind of partner Washington wants to work with." He praised Manila for "strengthening its military and coast guard capabilities while deepening operational cooperation with the US" amid what the report described as China's "aggression" in the South China Sea.
Colby's visit to Manila marked his first official trip to Southeast Asia as an undersecretary under the Trump administration. He is scheduled to travel from Manila to Jakarta, Indonesia; Bangkok, Thailand; and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, said the report.
Meanwhile, a Manila Standard report interpreted Colby's remarks as showing that "the US is working closely with the Philippines" to strengthen Manila's military capabilities and protect its sovereign rights in the South China Sea, despite the fact that Colby did not mention China in his speech.
The US appears to be adopting a more retrenchment-style approach, shifting from leading directly to relying on regional allies to take the frontline role while providing support. This approach allows Washington to advance its interests while lowering its own costs, Song Zhongping, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times.
Song noted that Washington seeks to use repeated maritime frictions to tie down Chinese resources, which helps explain Colby's praise for Manila: the Philippines bears part of Washington's strategic burden while receiving largely rhetorical US support.
A South China Morning Post report on Tuesday noted that Colby avoided mentioning the recent disputes over Huangyan Dao, despite Washington having criticized China's establishment of a nature reserve there just two days earlier. The report described the omission as a "measured tone" ahead of a potential meeting between the Chinese and US leaders.
Washington's primary concern is its own interests. At the core of its "Indo-Pacific strategy" is strengthening its alliance network by pushing partners such as the Philippines to shoulder greater security burdens in pursuit of US strategic goals. As US-China diplomatic dynamics evolve, countries serving as Washington's geopolitical spearheads in confrontations with China risk being left behind, said some observers.
Song noted that this also reveals the fragility of the US-Philippine relationship.
The US has encouraged the Philippines to take the front line in confrontations with China while offering mostly rhetorical support. Should tensions escalate, Manila would bear much of the cost on its own, said the expert.

二 | 如今根据ESPN薪资专家Bobby Marks报道,骑士将用延伸条款裁掉惠特摩尔,从而腾出3200万美元签约哈登与另一名球员,而哈登的预计年薪在3200万-3300万美元。
由于沃特森先签后换4年8800万美元合同,直接导致骑士触发第一土豪线(硬帽≈2.09亿美元),球队总薪资被锁死,不能超过该数值,必须做薪资优化才能签约哈登。
根据此前名记Shams报道,骑士通过送出曼恩与快船2027年次轮签,外加部分现金,从奇才交易得到惠特摩尔。只是骑士并不打算留下惠特摩尔,而是利用惠特摩尔较低薪资,去创造第一工资帽下的灵活性。
根据Bobby Marks报道,骑士将使用延伸条款裁掉惠特莫尔,从而将他下赛季546万美元的薪水,转为三年内每年支付大约180万美元薪水,进而能够腾出约3200万美元空间,去签约哈登与另一名球员。
骑士如今的薪金总额是1.77亿美元。他们已经受到第一土豪线硬工资帽的限制。在沃特森加盟后,骑士还将续约哈登,届时球队首发五人组会是哈登、米切尔、沃特森、莫布利和阿伦。
哈登的预计薪资大概会落在3200万-3300万美元左右,此前哈登已经跳出原 4232万美元球员选项,骑士没有鸟权,只能用薪资空间直接签约哈登。
哈登的合同年限分歧依然存在,双方还在博弈年薪与保障细节,具体何时官宣签约还是未知数,但无疑距离签约越来越近。
