Marcos’ Speech at the China State Visit

STATE VISIT SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY FERDINAND E. MARCOS
Delivered in China on June 7, 1975

“Today, historical experience and realism, both beat us to be less emotional and more objective. We would engage our emotions to do so on the basis of an authentic Asian identity. It is on this basis that we now look at the whole world, our region, and ourselves. And the old modes of thought can no longer sustain us nor can they sustain any other country in Asia. And thus, we must reassess our alliances. We must restudy our destiny. In short, go out into the world. We are Asians. We live in Asia. Our destiny is in Asia. And our thoughts and policies must be remote in accordance to this unchangeable fact.”
