Russia not enough is it?

Too little is it?

China got nothing to do with Russia invasion except Omicron at home.

Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine has tested ties between the US and China already strained by a host of security and economic issues from Taiwan, to the South China Sea, telecommunications technology and trade. Asian nations like Singapore have long sought closer ties between the two in order to cooperate on other global issues like climate change and a response to the pandemic.

Still, China’s muted response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has hardened views within President Joe Biden’s administration that President Xi Jinping may be moving closer to supporting Moscow as the conflict continues. Lee previously said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine raises “awkward questions” for China because it violates Beijing’s closely-held principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty and non-interference.

China is in a dilemma.

If ever there is a country which can FEEL how the Ukrainians are feeling, it is China.  She was colonised by the Mongolians before (Yuan Dynasty), the Manchurians (Qing Dynasty), and then various Western powers, and also the Japanese.

Unequal treaties were forced upon China by the British.

Yet she needs Russia for her own security.

It is very difficult for her to open her mouth...

I think the problem is China is isolating itself
1. Information control inside country..firewall censorship and Internet control.

2. Self reliance economic system they want to do everything within country instead of cooperative trade.

3. Xi promoted ultra nationalism    portraying other countries negatively.

4. They are implementing a closed system not open system..

Why so KPO?

Singapore has so many problems still not solved

Is LHL hinting that 20 of his own Ministers will be made redundant soon?

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?
