A Chinese diplomat speaks good English. Let's hear from a US diplomat speaking good Mandarin.
"Good faith" is the door to hegemony
Pete HUG💩
WAR MONGER
Stop hosting IISS conf
Cui Tiankai's diplomatic words are polite, precise, and calm, even when the topic is sensitive.
As usual; Say, Talk, Shout, BS. This is just China Special Characteristics.
Hegseth really needs to stop drinking…
China is too soft
Even though Taiwan doesn't have official diplomatic representation sitting at the main tables due to China's objections😅. They should have one to represent them ( I don’t care fair is fair Lol ) Anyways , When Hegseth talks about pairing dialogue with "unquestionable military strength" to deter hegemony, he is talking directly about defending Taiwan from a potential Chinese invasion. For Taiwan, everything said at this summit is a matter of survival. When China's Cui Tiankai warns that US alliances shouldn't target Chinese interests, it's a warning to the US to stay away from Taiwan. If the US and China can't agree on "practical guardrails" during their private meetings in Singapore, Taiwan is the place most likely to pay the price if things go south.😢
Singapore is hosting this entire circus, so for us , it's all about balancing on a razor's edge. We have an incredibly strong, long-standing defense partnership with the US (we even host American littoral combat ships and aircraft). But at the same time, China is one of Singapore's biggest economic partners ( what the heck are you going to do lol ) a tightrope walk indeed ha ha ha 😂
When US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stands up at the summit and says the "era of the US subsidizing wealthy nations is over" while warning China against expanding its military, it puts Singapore in a tough spot. Singapore's biggest nightmare is being forced to pick a side. They want the US around to keep the region stable, but they don't want the US to push China so hard that a shooting war starts right in Singapore's backyard.( Horror of horrors ! ) 😂😂
这个世界真的荒唐，全世界都看到了，美国的军力建设是为了侵略 （他们也确实就是在不断侵略其他国家），中国的军力是为了防御美军，美国人真的贼喊捉贼还理直气壮，真无耻
Donald Trump and the Trump family are the most corrupt in the world. When the head of the fish is rotten, the entire body stinks! America is rotting from the inside out. Billionaires who think they've got US politicians and Supreme Court Justices by the balls will suffer globally, and in America, soon. Global leaders now see the rot and corrupt motivation of US corporations, especially its Military Industrial Complex, and policies will be put in place to ensure none of these corporations become too big to be brought to justice.
people of Singapore wants to tell hegseth – ' YOU SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO WAR – WE SEND OURS TO SCHOOL !'
did China support Iran, HAMAS, ISIS, Russia…if the answe8are yes yes yes yes, what is good faith?
what 's common strategy? China is the one created instability in asia pacific with Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.
