Singapore had proposed to use U.S. warships, thus becoming the largest U.S. military base in Asia. The U.S. 7th Fleet and its ships, including aircraft carriers and other large vessels, provide logistics and maintenance services and greatly expand military control.

The 7th Fleet can cross the Strait of Malacca, enter the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea and reach the Gulf region within 24 hours. The U.S. military vessels in all the ports of the Strait can be used without prior notice. In this regard, the United States is also actively cooperating with Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries.

The United States has deployed more advanced weapons and equipment in Singapore. As long as there are military disputes in East and Southeast Asia, the United States will immediately block the Strait of Malacca and hence control the whole crude oil transport system. In case of conflict, the Strait of Malacca could easily be blocked, thus cutting China off from crucial energy resources.

Singapore is a country traditionally friendly to the United States. The reason is the same as Japan’s, because the United States has interests in the Far East, while keeping on encircling China, thus trying to break “the string of pearls”.

Xi got no ideas whats Singapore is talking about?

Quote:Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia have also been significantly affected, being hit by US tariffs respectively as high as 46%, 24% and 49%. Although tariffs on the Southeast Asian nations have been suspended, their economies remain vulnerable to potential trade shocks. Due to their trade surplus with the US and their roles as transshipment hubs for Chinese goods, these countries have been accused of facilitating indirect Chinese exports to the US, putting them in Washington’s crosshairs.
