"Taiwan goes to the heart of the political legitimacy of the leader, of the party and it's a deep red line. I can think of no scenario (in) which there are winners if there is actual physical confrontation over Taiwan," Dr Ng said.

......

Speaking to reporters after his speech on Thursday, Dr Ng reiterated that "all sides lose" if there is physical confrontation over Taiwan.

"Not only US and China. Southeast Asia will be in turmoil, I think the rest of the world too," he said.

Beyond the issue of Taiwan, Dr Ng said the US' current "preoccupation with China is at a heightened level" not seen in his decade as defence minister.

......

"So to Singapore and the ASEAN countries, my Prime Minister has said none of the countries want to choose (between US and China)," he said.

"Why should I choose? Both have benefitted me and there is a strategic rivalry. Can this strategic rivalry continue with me continuing to still benefit from both countries?"

They have to. If Taiwan is in South America or Africa, I think they can afford to shut up. But Taiwan is too close. They have to try to avoid disaster to South East Asia especially if USA is successful in instigating China into physical action. Don't think they can do much though besides trying to talk some sense into USA.

I hope US will not be ready for war with China over Taiwan.....
