China, Singapore plan military drills as Beijing forges defence ties
Reuters
BEIJING, April 24 (Reuters) - China and Singapore will hold a joint military exercise as soon as this week, their first combined drills since 2021, as Beijing deepens its defence and security ties with Southeast Asia, a region with strong existing U.S. alliances.
The Chinese navy will deploy a missile-bearing frigate, the Yulin, and a mine-hunting ship, the Chibi, to the joint maritime exercise which will last from late April to early May, the Chinese defence ministry said in a statement on its website on Monday, without specifying the location.

It is because that President Biden didn't invite PM Lee to attend the democracy summit, PM Lee decided to close ranks with China instead.....

PM Lee said this in Parliament on Wednesday, 19 April 2023.
"Negative perceptions of China are prevalent among the US population too, said PM Lee, citing the latest Pew survey, which found that more than 80 per cent of adults in the US have an unfavourable view of China, while nearly 40 per cent would describe China as an enemy of the US rather than as a competitor or partner.
He said Chinese public perception of the US has deteriorated. China’s leaders have become convinced that the US is seeking to “contain, encircle and suppress” China, he said, quoting Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“(China’s leaders) say the East is rising and the West is declining, and they think the time has come for China to take its rightful place in the world,” he said."

PM Lee emphasized the importance of international rules for small countries like Singapore.
If "the law of the jungle" prevails instead, he cautioned, small nations are bound to fall under the control of bigger, more powerful states.

Singapore was telling Asean members to choose between US and China.
Now, Singapore doesn't take sides.
Other 9 Asean members become monkeys 🐒

As Singapore tilted over, Taiwan destiny is a foregone conclusion.
Chinese invasion will come sooner than expected.
