The Ongoing US-China Tensions Overshadowed by Ukraine Crisis

The New Atlas Video Report by Brian Berletic 20220608

As the crisis in Ukraine consumes public attention, other events possibly leading to a much worse crisis continue UNFOLDING IN THE BACKGROUND.

Between US complaints over Chinese-Cambodian ties and Canadian military aircraft flying along China and North Korea’s coasts, the same provocative foreign policy decisions that triggered the Ukrainian crisis in the first place are very much in play in Asia versus China.



Brian Berletic is a former serviceman of the US Marine Corps. Earlier he used pen name Tony Cartalucci and runs a geopolitical blog called "Land Destroyer" from decades ago, he lives in Thailand now. Brian is very articulate in explaining issues, he is very incisive!

Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe and his Singaporean counterpart Ng Eng Hen held talks at the inaugural Singapore-China Defence Ministers’ Dialogue, where they discussed global security issues, a statement from the city’s defence ministry said.

P.S. To our brothers and sisters on this forum hating on Singapore and Singaporeans we ought to apologize to them especially to @badoc and many others.

The China-Singapore joint naval exercise is mainly of the kind like passage (communication) exercise and search & rescue operation, just about the lowest form of joint naval exercise.

Now take a look at Singapore's export by country. In 2020, China imported more from Singapore than US did. And Singapore's export to China+HK+Macau was more than US, Japan, S Korea, Australia, UK and EU combined.

Furthermore, Singapore also hosts US warships and Australian Surveillance/submarine chaser P-8, both a threat to China's security. Our forum members will be a bit more understanding if Singapore treats China a bit more fairly.
