日本在东南亚拉拢2个亲华国家，不料新加坡却对华“效忠”
2018-04-10 18:30 东南亚 /新加坡 /日本
恐怕谁也不会想到，新加坡这么快就成为“雪中送炭”的伙伴。4月8日，中新两国签署了在“带路倡议”下扩大合作的备忘录，双方将共同参与亚洲的基建项目，抓住亚洲的巨大需求，将“带路倡议”与新加坡的长远发展战略对接，共同推动“南向通道”的建设，巩固合作机制，实现多赢。
按照备忘录，双方将选定能够合作的第三国项目和市场，为双方企业创造互利共赢的平台，不断增加共同参与的项目。新加坡方面承诺发挥其人才优势，在法律和金融方面提供协助，解决融资困难和相关争端。
而就在2017年5月，“带路倡议”首次国际会议上却没有李显龙的身影，也传出了新加坡对此持消极态度的讯息。不过这次李显龙亲口否认了这些传闻。他强调：新加坡是最早支持“带路倡议”的国家之一，也是这一倡议坚定的支持者。他还将在“天涯海角”的论坛上发表演说，阐述“带路倡议”对东南亚国家的重要性。
鉴于特朗普的单边主义有引发危机的可能，新加坡明确表示支持世界第二大经济体，拥护多边贸易体系，坚决维护世贸组织的争端解决机制。李显龙还对扩大开放的举措表示赞赏，认为这将惠及亚洲多国，并给予高度评价：“大国加入WTO令全世界受益”。
与1年前两国关系陷入低谷期相比，如今的新加坡显得既识时务，又雪中送炭。作为收获，李显龙在华获得一个可以对外炫耀的称谓：老朋友。这个殊荣比任何优遇和款待都要重要。日媒酸溜溜地报道：新加坡积极向东亚大国靠拢，甚至对华“效忠”，就是想搭顺风车。要知道，安倍曾经下了大力气培育与李氏家族的情谊，亲自出席李光耀的葬礼，李显龙也一度为日本说话，站在日方立场指责东亚大国，双方感情好到可以互赠勋章，可什么都敌不过形势。
日方的确非常不满，因为新加坡的“叛变”对美日印等国来说不是一个好消息。美日印等国最近显著加强了对“带路倡议”的遏制力度。根据媒体报道，日本正加紧与美国和印度联合，以“印太战略”为指导，共同争夺第三国的基建订单。具体来说，就是发挥各自的优势，日本负责工业园区，印度负责港口，美国负责发电站等能源设置。在此基础上，这3个国家还将统筹安排在相同地区和国家的业务，实现信息共享，组建合资企业，强调透明和低风险，并将目标瞄准了缅甸、尼泊尔和孟加拉等国。探客认为，如果这些设想都能实现的话，无疑将对东亚大国产生一定的威胁。问题是，这3个国家究竟能够在多大程度上实现整合？
日本外相河野太郎最近一段时间正在东南亚活动。4月7日，河野太郎访问老挝，试图通过提供“高质量的基础设施”来加强两国关系，并考察了日方提供90亿日元（约合5.3亿人民币）贷款推进的机场扩建工程，承诺将加速向老挝提供新的援助。4月8日在访问柬埔寨时，河野许诺帮助柬方完善基础设施建设，以物流、育人、改善城市功能为核心向柬埔寨提供援助。日方决定向柬埔寨提供2艘巡逻艇，此外还向柬方提供92亿日元（约合5.4亿人民币）的贷款。
众所周知，这2个国家都是铁杆的“亲华国家”，明知如此，日方依然要插一腿，努力拉拢，可见其野心不小，一心想来个滴水石穿。可就在日方起劲地“挖墙脚”之时，一扭头本来属于自己人的新加坡却投靠“敌方”，能不恼火嘛？
潮平两岸阔，风正一帆悬。对新加坡而言，所有的集团、阵营、国家，都只是选项，而非题干。选择谁，要看谁能满足新加坡的利益，给新加坡一个满意的答案。在担任东盟“轮值帮主”之际，一向在中美之间维持平衡的新加坡毅然选择投入“带路倡议”的怀抱，并非脑筋一热，必然经过长时间的观察与考虑，在反复权衡利弊之后毅然行动。为了维护其贸易和金融中心的地位，继续承接高端产业和抓住转瞬即逝的新机遇，新加坡做出了一个对自己最有利的决定。
在2017年“亚洲竞争力”排行榜上，新加坡位居第一。这样一个国家做出的决定无疑是一个风向标，具有带动作用。这将令东南亚一些摇摆不定的国家找到方向。相较而言，日方鬼鬼祟祟的小动作连螳臂当车都算不上，也令安倍内阁和美印无比尴尬。现在的形势已经比较明朗，接下来就要用“早期成果”打击美日印。好戏才刚刚鸣锣开场。（完）

Japan draws two pro-China countries in Southeast Asia, but unexpectedly Singapore has “loyalty” to China.

I am afraid that no one will think that Singapore will soon become a partner in the snow. On April 8, China and New Zealand signed a memorandum on expanding cooperation under the "Road Initiative". Both sides will jointly participate in infrastructure projects in Asia, seize the huge demand in Asia, and link the "leadership initiative" with Singapore's long-term development strategy. To jointly promote the construction of the "Southward Passage," consolidate the cooperation mechanism and achieve a win-win situation.
According to the memorandum, the two sides will select third-country projects and markets that can cooperate, create a platform for mutual benefit and win-win for the companies of both sides, and increase the number of projects participating in the project. Singapore is committed to giving play to its talent advantages, providing legal and financial assistance to resolve financing difficulties and related disputes.
And just in May 2017, at the first international meeting of the “Road Initiative”, there was no figure of Lee Hsien Loong, and a message of Singapore’s negative attitude was also heard. However, Lee Hsien Loong personally denied these rumors. He stressed that Singapore is one of the first countries to support the "Road Initiative" and is a firm supporter of this initiative. He will also give a speech at the Forum on "The End of the Earth" to explain the importance of the "Road Initiative" to Southeast Asian countries.
Given that Trump’s unilateralism may trigger a crisis, Singapore clearly expressed its support for the world’s second-largest economy, championed the multilateral trading system, and resolutely safeguarded the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism. Lee Hsien Loong also expressed his appreciation for the measures to expand the opening, saying that it will benefit many countries in Asia and give him a high rating: "Great powers will benefit the world after joining the WTO."
Compared with the downturn in relations between the two countries a year ago, today’s Singapore appears to be both knowledgeable and helpful. As a harvest, Lee Hsien Loong obtained a title that he could show off in China: his old friend. This honor is more important than any preferential treatment and hospitality. Japan’s sourly reported that Singapore is actively moving closer to the big countries of East Asia and even “loyalty” to China. You know, Abe has made great efforts to nurture friendship with the Lee family and personally attended the funeral of Lee Kuan Yew. Lee Hsien Loong once spoke for Japan and stood in the Japanese position to accuse the big East Asian countries. Both sides feel good enough to exchange medals. What can they do? It is no match for the situation.
The Japanese side is indeed very dissatisfied because Singapore’s “treason” is not good news for the United States, Japan, and India. Countries such as the United States, Japan, and India have recently significantly strengthened their efforts to contain the "leadership initiative". According to media reports, Japan is stepping up its joint efforts with the United States and India to use the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" as a guide to compete for third-party infrastructure orders. Specifically, it is to use its respective advantages. Japan is responsible for industrial parks, India is responsible for ports, and the United States is responsible for energy settings such as power stations. On this basis, the three countries will also coordinate their business arrangements in the same regions and countries, achieve information sharing, establish joint ventures, emphasize transparency and low risk, and target Myanmar, Nepal and Bangladesh. Explorers believe that if these ideas can be realized, they will undoubtedly pose a certain threat to the big East Asian countries. The question is: How much can these three countries achieve integration?
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono has recently been active in Southeast Asia. On April 7, Kotaro visited Laos and tried to strengthen the relationship between the two countries by providing "high-quality infrastructure." He also examined the Japanese airport’s 9 billion yen (about 530 million yuan) loans to promote the expansion of the airport. The promise will accelerate the provision of new aid to Laos. When visiting Cambodia on April 8, Heye promised to help Cambodia improve its infrastructure construction and provide Cambodia with assistance in logistics, educating people and improving urban functions. The Japanese side decided to provide Cambodia with two patrol boats, in addition to providing 9.2 billion yen (about 540 million yuan) in loans to Cambodia.
As everyone knows, these two countries are hard-core “pro-China countries.” Knowing this, the Japanese side still has to insert a leg and try to win. It is obvious that their ambition is not small, and they are eager to wear a drop of water. In the days when Japan relentlessly “embraced its feet”, Singapore, which turned its own people but turned to “enemy,” could not be irritated?
Tidal flat across the shore, the wind is hanging. For Singapore, all groups, camps and countries are only options, not tasks. Whoever chooses depends on who can meet the interests of Singapore and give Singapore a satisfactory answer. As ASEAN's "reigning sponsor", Singapore, which has always maintained a balance between China and the United States, has decided to invest in the "pilot initiative". It is not a brainstorm. It will inevitably undergo long-term observation and consideration, and will resolutely weigh the pros and cons repeatedly. action. In order to maintain its status as a trading and financial center, continue to undertake high-end industries and seize new opportunities that are fleeting, Singapore has made a decision that is in its best interest.
Singapore ranks first in the 2017 Asian Competitiveness Rankings. The decision made by such a country is undoubtedly a vane and has a leading role. This will make some swinging countries in Southeast Asia find directions. In comparison, the Japanese sneaky tricks are not even the best in the car, and it makes the Abe cabinet extremely incongruous with the United States and India. The current situation is relatively clear. Next, we must use "early results" to crack down on the United States, Japan, and India. The good show has just started. (Finish)
