[FONT=&amp]A senior Chinese diplomat urged Singapore to stay out of South China Sea disputes at a meeting between China and the Asean bloc of countries.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
The remark was made as China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations made progress on Tuesday towards adopting a binding code of conduct in the South China Sea.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Vice-Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin said after the meeting in Manzhouli in Inner Mongolia that China and Asean had agreed to release a joint statement on a Code for Unplanned Encounters at Sea (CUES).[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]However, in a veiled criticism of Singapore’s stance on the disputes, Liu said China hoped the city state would perform well in its role of coordinating dialogue between China and Asean.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“As Singapore is not a claimant in the South China Sea, we hope that the Singapore government, on the condition of not interfering in South China Sea issues, will actively promote cooperation between China and Asean,” Liu said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Also speaking at the same press conference, Chee Wee *Kiong, permanent secretary of Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, called on all parties to exercise self-restraint as tensions rose in the South China Sea.

[FONT=&amp]Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said during a visit to the US earlier this month that the South China Sea ruling by the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration was much better than seeing “whose guns are more powerful”. He also said that Singapore welcomed US engagement in the region.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Liu said China and Asean had also agreed in principle to set up a hotline among Chinese and Southeast Asian senior officials to manage maritime emergencies in the South China Sea.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Ashley Townshend, a research fellow at the University of Sydney, said that while the agreement reached yesterday was a welcome development, China and Asean still had to do more work in specific areas to address the South China Sea disputes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“Adopting the CUES between the navies is not enough, it should also be applied to the coastguards,” Townshend said.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Coastguard vessels in South China Sea need code of conduct amid increasing risk of clashes in contested waters, say analysts[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
He added that while Singapore was getting firmer about favouring a rules-based solution in the South China Sea, it also had to balance its economic ties with China and its strategic interests in the disputed waters.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“Singapore is not a claimant country, but it has a deep interest in maritime trade and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea,” he said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Townshend also noted that China had concerns about Singapore getting too close to the United States, and said the city state faced a challenge in navigating the Sino-US strategic rivalry in the region.

The South China Sea shadow over Beijing’s ties with Singapore
[FONT=&amp]China dismayed by city state’s response to Hague ruling and support for US role in Asia

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]PUBLISHED : Monday, 15 August, 2016, 2:02am
UPDATED : Monday, 15 August, 2016, 7:54am
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Uncertainty hangs over ties *between China and Singapore in the aftermath of a landmark international tribunal ruling on *disputes in the South China Sea.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Even though Singapore was not a claimant in the disputed waters, recent gestures by the city state in relation to the ruling appeared to have dismayed Beijing, observers said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
China and Singapore have had close ties, especially economic ones, over the past few decades, with Singapore becoming a training ground for Chinese officials and often cited by Chinese leaders as an example of how a city should be managed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
But recent remarks by Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has raised concerns in Beijing on how far the relationship between the two nations can go.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
After the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague rejected China’s claims to the South China Sea, Lee said the verdict was a “strong statement” about international law in maritime disputes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Beijing responded by calling on Singapore to have an “objective and fair position”, given its role as a coordinator of relations between China and the Association of Southeast Asian nations.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Beijing was furious when, backed by the United States, the Philippines lodged the case in 2013. It ignored the ruling.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Shen Shishun, senior researcher at the China Institute of International Studies Asia-Pacific Research Centre, said if Singapore took a similar position as the US, China would see it as “playing around with issues of major *principle”.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“China believes Singapore can balance major powers but it should not toy with these issues,” Shen said.“As an Asian nation, Singapore should become closer to China.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Tensions also surfaced earlier this month when Lee told US President Barack Obama that he hoped the US would continue its active engagement in the region. Obama responded by saying *Singapore and the US were “rock-solid partners”.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Global Times, published by People’s Daily, said in an editorial that Lee’s trip in the US made some Chinese “very uncomfortable”, especially when Obama praised Singapore as “an anchor” of US presence in Asia. Previously the “two anchors” referred to Japan and Australia, the US’ two allies in the Asia-Pacific, it said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Ties with China were not always strained. When late leader Deng Xiaoping visited Singapore in 1978, he was so impressed by the way it was run that he asked the then Singaporean leader Lee Kuan Yew for advice on how China could be prosperous. Lee Kuan Yew said China should open up to the capitalist world, and over the next three decades, China benefited from such *market reforms.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
The two countries also have strong economic links, with China becoming Singapore’s biggest trade partner and the city state a key component in Beijing’s Maritime Silk Road scheme. Government-to-government projects, such as the Suzhou Industrial Park and Tianjin Eco-city, are also key points of cooperation.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]In addition, the Communist Party has sent cadres to study in Singapore over the past two decades, and many of them are now mayors or even provincial leaders back in China. They include Vice-Premier Wang Yang who, as Guangdong Communist Party boss, headed delegations to Singapore to study its social and economic developments, according to Nanfang Daily.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Singapore also hosted the “Wang-Koo summit” in 1992 between semi-official organisations from the mainland and Taiwan, as well as November’s historic meeting between President Xi Jinping and his Taiwanese counterpart Ma Ying-jeou, the first meeting between leaders from the two sides in nearly 70 years.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
[/FONT][FONT=&amp]Oh Ei Sun, a senior fellow with the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, said Singapore took a similar position on the South China Sea *disputes as other Southeast Asian nations.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“Most of us see arbitration or adjudication as an ordinary and effective resolution to international disputes by means of law. So we see nothing wrong with an Asean leader voicing these sentiments,” he said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
Du Jifeng, a Southeast Asian affairs expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Beijing may be more alert to Singapore’s role in the US strategic presence in Asia-Pacific, but economic ties between China and Singapore would remain strong.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“Singapore is not a claimant nation [in the South China Sea,” Du said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
“Lee’s comments may not influence the direction taken to solve the South China Sea disputes between China and the Philippines.”

Might is right, we can't do shit about what these yellowed skinned ah nehs want in the South Ah neh Sea.

 

[JHolmesJr]

With a little bit of luck we'll piss of the chinks so they all finally fuck off from here for good.

Never met a mainland ching chong who ever made the world a cooler, smarter, better place…except for making tons of shit cheaper than the civilised world what have they done?

 

[JohnTan]

The SAF is strong. We don't give a fuck what the chinks think. They want to fight? Bring it man!

 

[rotiprata]

The SAF is strong. We don't give a fuck what the chinks think. They want to fight? Bring it man!

you & PLPs are probably still dreaming. .. If you add up all chinks working here... they'll outnumbered the SAF..

PRC just shut the tap of ATBs working in SG's Hang Flower club, the Elites' balls will go blue.

knn eh! dun talk big lah, i can imagine you wetting your pants when they want to execute you by firing squad.:kma:

 

[scroobal]

You got to laugh when you look at the context - one a giant of a country with 1.3B people with standing army of a million men and nuclear weapons threatening a little speck of a country where NS men ask their maid to carry their kit. Its like our neighbourhood Sio Kun Tong headman threatening a kindergarten kid.

Just look at what China did to Singapore in Suzhou - none of the agreements, contracts, memorandum of understandings, 4 eyes meetings with years of investment was not even worth the paper it was written on. We just handed over all the assets for free because China refused to even negotiate.

They even managed to convince one Singapore Govt Department to have a contract executed in Mandarin.

What does this mother fucker China have to fear if what it has been doing is not wrong? It doesn't matter who says what if they have been lawfully abiding with their actions. Fuck to these bastard uncivilized Chinese Dogs. They only know how to go about threatening other smaller nations.:oIo::oIo::oIo:

I am always praying for a great natural disaster to happen in China so as to wipe out half of its population. Only then, will they learn to be humble again.

I was told by my Taiwanese client in Kunshan that when LKY went to complain to Beijing about the adjacent New Suzhou Industrial Park which was being offered at half the price to investors, they would just give a bloody excuse to say that the area concern is not under their jurisdiction, but is instead decided by the local municipal/provincial government. What the fuck is the central government for in this case?

A cheat will always remain a cheat.

 

[scroobal]

Thats exactly what happened. After telling the whole World that he is a China expert and a trusted confidante of the Chinese Govt, Old Man went to see Deng. Deng told him that Singapore leaders approached Suzhou municipal authorities directly, did everything with the municipality without the involvement of Beijing and therefor Beijing cannot interfere.

And why did Old Man chose Suzhou? He being the self professed China expert did his own research and found out that the Chinese Mandarins and intellectuals tend to retire in Suzhou and concluded that it therefore had the highest concentration of rational, intelligent and high powered individuals who would recognise quality and expertise that Singapore can offer. Its like asking an OMS scholar to negotiate with SS Headman.

China should just CUT TIES and IMPOSE SANCTION against SG51, to show example to all the rest of the world. Using the little Pee Sai bastard as demo tool.

中国应该示范决心给世界瞧瞧。就拿最该死的汉奸鼻屎岛来作示范材料。断绝外交。召回驻新大使。驱逐新加坡驻北京大使。全面禁运。全面经济制裁。断绝签证。断绝外汇交易。撤销一切合作。
给❝啖马屎❞在中国与香港澳门的投资，损失几百亿。撤销中资在新加坡的一切投资合作，撤回一切投资。迫使中国国民撤资离开新加坡。驱赶新加坡公民与公司离开中国。全面禁运货物食物。

总共可以影响数以兆亿计的经济。新币会巨幅贬值。

中国有能力承受。新加坡没有。

示范一个犀利毒辣的惩罚教训汉奸案例给全球开开眼界。

The chinks always outnumbered the tartars 5 to 1 or 10 to 1 throughout history, but yet lost most of the time to them. Chinks are over-rated in fighting, be it in war or in martial arts. Most chinks can't fight well to save their own balls. They better stick to parades and choreograph dancing like wushu performances.

所有理性的，人性的，文明的政治做法，全部都是错误无效的。美国与杂种小鼻屎就太安心啦！根本不会看中国在眼里的。习近平必需决心一次过纠正这种文明的错误。毫无警告，毫无商议的冷不防出杀手锏。阴狠毒辣犀利霹雳的把小汉奸踹得肚破肠流，遍地血迹。
