Duterte arrives in Beijing to raise South China Sea with Xi

Duterte is expected Thursday to bring up a 2016 ruling on the South China Sea dispute that has for years strained relations between the two countries. The Hague arbitration, citing violations of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, mostly invalidated China's claim to virtually the entire South China Sea.
