Visiting Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte struck a conciliatory pose during the second day of his four-day visit to China on Wednesday, downplaying the sensitive South China Sea issue at his first news conference in Beijing.

"I'm here on a state visit to bring my respect to the great Chinese people and the Chinese government," he said.

The plain-spoken leader defended his controversial anti-drug campaign and blasted US military involvement around the world.
