"Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said on Monday that countries should avoid being used as "chess pieces" by global powers in a region that he said was at risk of being reshaped by geopolitical factors.
Addressing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) secretariat in a speech in the Indonesian capital
Jakarta, Wang said many countries in the region were under pressure to take sides.
"We should insulate this region from geopolitical calculations… from being used as chess pieces from major power rivalry and from coercion," said Wang, who was speaking through a translator."

The Chinese Foreign Minister copied a few leaves from our brilliant PM Lee previous statement.
- to choose between superpowers ie. US and China
- the law of the jungle
.
On Ukraine war, Singapore imposed sanction on Russia is based on principles as Singapore do not take sides..
But, on contrary in SCS, PM Lee asked Asean members to choose between US and China.
Is this contradiction when asking members to take sides?

Do you know now China draft out 4 big lists to ask US to follow?
In the past before trade war started, China would follow what the lists given to them, but US was too much at that time, they wanted to control China food production. So China no choice got to start trade war with US.

I think you never read China history before.
One of the main reasons why collapsing of Ming Dynasty was China at that time helping Korea to fight against the aggressor, Japan. The war lasted for about 7 years.
5000 years of history, China has never invaded any country outside China.

SG gov wants to be a odd one out...as we are the only country in ASEAN to sanction Russia.
The odd thing is while we talk about "principle" against military invasions, we supported and even involved in US's invasion of Iraq based on WMD falsehood...and against UN law - Today, other can accuse SG gov of hypocrisy in willingly becoming a "chess piece" in US invasion of Iraq, while lecturing Russia on Ukraine.

Suggest you read the actual wordings from what Chinese minister had said - Here is the quote for ZB:
https://www.zaobao.com.sg/news/sea/story...12-1291914
我们应该防止本区域受到地缘政治计算的影响……避免在大国竞争和胁迫的情况下被当作棋子……本区域的未来应该掌握在我们的手中..
Bluntly put, Wang is directly pointing out the danger of some countries or entity in Asia becoming a pawn rather than having the spine of their own. Just look at S Korea, Japan and Australia - All wanna become NATO, AUKUS, QUAD etc etc...and all made the choice of spend more $ on US weapons.
As if Ukraine e.g. is not enough as a lesson.
aiya being stewpig doesn't mean it's ok to be stewpig. agree?
Never, never and never treat other people as kids. That is the number 1 rule. Surprisingly, he is the Foreign Minister. It will only upset the other people. People who did are people with eyes grew above their heads.

A good piece of advice by Wang Yi to all those like Lithuania, Aussie, S Korea and Japan.
To be cooperative in business development for mutual benefits is the best policy.
US Boeing has done a study declaring China needs 8,000 airliners in the next 20 year but this year 292 aircraft order worth USD 37.2 billion all goes to Airbus, 0 for Boeing.

I will let others comment. They must think worth the while to speak up and go against China. Why people wanted to make enemies?

China imported about 5 million tons of corn in 2020 and they have approved the use of GMOs for the growing of corn and soybeans. So what is the problem about GMOs?
GMO crops are used differently in US vs China:
The former is world's largest export of GMO and their gov allows human consumption.
The later is far more careful with GMO as food and instead use it as animal feed.
That is why the Yanks not happy with the Chinese for being strict with Genetically modified soybean import.
