Pissing off the Chinese may have been an accident. Maybe the next few days will bring more info about who is advising him.

Duterte makes perfect sense, in a way. He insulted Obama publicly and has loudly encouraged extra-judicial killings all over the Philippines--hundreds of vigilante actions.

Analogous to Trump, his handlers must constantly tell the international community, UN, and the US what he "really meant" after his blustery threats and name calling world leaders.
