Singapore warns US on anti-China rhetoricPosted: 09 February 2012 0631 hrs

Wait you kena my chilli padi then you know

WASHINGTON: Singapore on Wednesday urged the United States to be careful in comments on China, warning that suggestions of a strategy to contain the rising power could cause strife in Asia.

On a visit to Washington, Foreign Minister K. Shanmugam voiced confidence that the State Department accepted the need for cooperation with China but said that US commentary too often cast Asian politics in "win/lose sporting terms."

"Domestic pressures in the US and the demands of elections have resulted in some anti-China rhetoric in domestic debates," Shanmugam told a conference on Singapore at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

"We in Singapore understand that some of this is inevitable in an election year. But Americans should not underestimate the extent to which such rhetoric can spark reaction which can create a new and unintended reality for the region," he said.

Singapore is a close partner of Washington and home to a key US military logistical base. But the city-state is highly dependent on trade and has sought smooth commercial relations with Asia's major economic powers such as China, Japan and India.

"It's quite untenable -- quite absurd -- to speak in terms of containment of China. That's a country with 1.3 billion people," Shanmugam said.

"It is determined to progress in all fields and take its rightful place in the community of nations. It will succeed in that venture," he said.

The United States, while looking to trim spending on its giant military to tame a soaring debt, has set a priority on Asia as rapid economic growth and the rise of China look set to reshape the region.

The US military has sought closer cooperation with the Philippines and Vietnam, which have accused China of increasingly bellicose actions to assert control over disputed territories in the South China Sea.

Shanmugan said that the United States should also look at other ways of engagement in Asia such as pressing ahead with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an emerging trade pact that involves at least nine countries.

It is "a mistake to focus only on the US military presence in the region, to the exclusion of other dimensions of US policy," he said.

President Barack Obama's administration has repeatedly said that it welcomes the rise of China and will try to find areas for cooperation. Vice President Joe Biden, ahead of a US visit by his counterpart Xi Jinping, called in a statement Wednesday for the two powers to work together on "practical issues."

Shanmugan did not cite examples of "anti-China" comments in the United States, but a number of US lawmakers have raised fears about Beijing's rise.

At a congressional hearing Tuesday, Representative Dana Rohrabacher called for the United States to ramp up support for the Philippines to help the democratic US ally assert its claims in maritime disputes with China.

"We need to stand as aggressively and as solidly with the Filipino government in their confronting an aggressive, arrogant China -- expansionist China -- as we have stood with them against radical Islam," said Rohrabacher, a Republican from California.

Economic disputes with China have also come to the forefront.

In a recent television commercial that outraged Asian American groups, Representative Mike Hoekstra -- a Republican seeking a Senate seat in Michigan -- attacked his opponent with an advertisement criticizing US debt to China.

In the advertisement, a young Asian woman -- in a setting that looked more like Vietnam than China -- said in broken English, "Your economy get very weak; ours get very good."

Damn right! I once overheard a bird lambasting a DOM after he said he wanted to do her from behind. In another incident, a bird rejected a stinking ah neh. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES!

This is hilarious. David warning Goliath when David has to rely on world super powers for help.

 

[laksaboy]

Don't forget K Shanmugam got pushed into the MFA job due to the shock (from PAP's perspective) loss of Aljunied GRC and consequently, George Yeo.

K Shanmugam was only in the Ministry of Law for a short while after taking over from S Jayakumar. Now he straddles two portfolios at once.

 

[fukyuman]

Ah Neh made a well-timed trip to China soon after making his speech.

If you search Google, few foreign press picked up the story.

singapore as an asian nation with a majority of ppl with ancestry from china should help china of course not help them totally but comeon the US isn't your savior these assholes use others to only help themselves. The closest allies they have are not surprisingly white anglo countries like the UK and aussie.

This Ah Neh really knows how to put a good show. Have to wayang a bit before his trip to China so that yesterday, China had just sung praise for relations with Sinkie Land.
