Marcos expects China's Li Qiang at Asean Summit in Manila, but another report says the Chinese president will skip it
Marcos is expecting Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the Asean Summit in Manila, yet a separate report says the Chinese president will skip it.

The gist
- Inquirer.net reports that Marcos is expecting Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the Asean Summit in Manila.
- The Manila Times runs a separate report headlined that the Chinese president will skip the Asean Summit.
- The two headlines name different Chinese leaders, and the full details of each report are not part of this summary.
Why it matters
The Asean Summit is being held in Manila, so who from China attends is a question many Filipino readers will follow. The Inquirer report says Marcos expects Li Qiang, while The Manila Times says the Chinese president will skip the event. Readers should wait for official confirmation before taking either version as settled.
Marcos is expecting Chinese Premier Li Qiang to attend the Asean Summit in Manila, according to a report from Inquirer.net. The headline alone has been enough to get people talking about who will sit at the table.
A separate report from The Manila Times carries a different headline: the Chinese president is set to skip the Asean Summit. A premier and a president are two different posts, so the two stories do not automatically contradict each other. Still, the gap between them is the reason many readers are now asking who exactly is coming.
Both reports point to the same event, which is why the Asean Summit is trending. Each one focuses on Chinese leadership and attendance rather than on anything else happening at the summit.
What We Know So Far
The details inside each report are not included in this summary, so the reasons, plans, and any official statements behind them remain unclear here. Only the headlines and their main claims are confirmed by the sources used for this story.
The Inquirer.net report says Marcos is expecting Li Qiang. The Manila Times report says the Chinese president will not attend. Neither source, as summarized here, gives a final guest list or a confirmed date for the attendance decisions.
What happens next is not yet known. Readers should watch for official confirmation from the relevant offices before treating either version as the final word. Until then, the safest reading is that the two reports disagree on which Chinese leader will be there.
So, when the Asean Summit opens in Manila, will we see Li Qiang, the Chinese president, or neither of them?
