7. Italy
One of the several European countries to back the Philippines, Italy which ranks 7th on our list of countries that will help the Philippines against China, publicly expressed its support regarding Philippine’s stance on the disputed territory in December 2015. The Philippines president met with the President and Prime Minister of Italy to strengthen the relations between the two countries. One of the most important points of these talks was the discussion of the dispute between Philippines and China, which ended with Italy supporting the Philippines. Once again, Italy’s support was mainly due to the fact that the Philippines opted for a peaceful resolution.
