@CollinSLKoh "Concerned members of the international community oppose militarism"
Really now. Look at the US military expenditure - the highest on the planet, by far, for years. No one's complaining about US militarism (prob bcs it's understood that the US doesn't care).
@CecaLoather@daneelchia , of which SG has been a victim.
I don't take that very seriously. It's Google Mandiant, a US govt outfit.
As for PM Wong's words, well. His enemies and SG's enemies may very well not be the same.
@CecaLoather@daneelchia The fact is that there HASN'T been any. At least on the surface.
PM Lawrence Wong hinted during a public interview that "we know who our enemies are. And we are not naive", and Google Mandiant has alleged that China is behind a hacker team that conducts cyberattacks
@FishnChips777@daneelchia@OopsGuess SG invests greatly in China, I think we are one of China's biggest investors, and China has been SG's biggest trading partner for more than a decade.
This is irrelevant to the fact that PRC China (nor any Chinese regime prior) has not been aggressive to SG.
@daneelchia@CecaLoather@MotulX22 The CIA assisted and spurred Indonesians to kill a million Communists, political dissidents, and ethnic Chinese in Indonesia, and....... you blame it on PRC China.
Wow.

Wow.
@daneelchia@CecaLoather@MotulX22 "China kept pushing communist propaganda to SEA until 81, historically causing severe difficulties and discrimination against the nanyang Chinese hoping to live peacefully in SEA."
Lastly, wow. Incredible.
@daneelchia@IolloIlol@OopsGuess The reason why Japan is not a threat to the region is because most of the region is allied or partners with the US, so we are nominally on the same side.
That has nothing to do with Japan's hostilities with China.
@ctindale "China’s rare earth export restrictions are a direct strategic threat to the West."
And that's bcs the West has declared China as an enemy, and behaves accordingly.
