China had offered its Hainan island to SG for our military exercises but our PM rejected it. Therefore, we cannot keep saying that we have to conduct military exercises in Taiwan due to our land constraints in SG because it doesn't make sense anymore.

Is USA willing to play second fiddle to China in AIIB?
http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0116/c90000-9167343.html
The later you join the AIIB, the lesser clout you will have in AIIB. Therefore, USA will only play second fiddle to China in AIIB as it is a late comer. AIIB is spearheaded by China and China will be the chair in AIIB. Can USA take the insult to be in a supporting role instead of the leading role?

Vietnam forsakes USA and deflects to China after Philippines.

As we stated in our previous post, USA would alienate itself in South China Sea (SCS). 2 claimants have agreed to bilateral settlements with China without USA involvement. Therefore, non-claimants like USA, Japan and SG have no right but to remain silent over the SCS issue.
If China expedites the one belt one road initiatives, SG will collapse at a rapid rate than we will imagine.

Singapore future is sealed!

We've been warning about this in our posting. This bleak outcome will come. It is a matter of when, not if. SG future is cast in iron already as China has already spent so much for the one belt one road initiative.

OMG! Trump says he won't commit to one-China policy!
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/trump-suggests-he-could-lift-russia-sanctions-wont-commit-one-china-policy-1601029
UN recognises the one-China policy but Trump doesn't want to recognise it. There will be serious repercussions when Trump doesn't commit to the one-China policy after his inauguration.
There will be more trade wars between USA & China and China will oppose USA in UN by vetoing USA proposition.

USA is building up its military tanks in Poland.
Here we go again! Tension continues to rise in EU because of USA. This is like USA preparation for a war against Russia with its tank buildup.

Russia views it as a serious threat and will definitely retaliate in its own way.
USA is also creating tension in Israel and Palestine by moving its US embassy to a sensitive location, Jerusalem.

US rig count - 659
HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. declined by six this week to 659.
A year ago, 650 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have curtailed exploration, although the rig count has been rebounding in recent months.
Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 522 rigs sought oil and 136 explored for natural gas this week. One was listed as miscellaneous.
Wyoming increased by two rigs and Louisiana by one.
Oklahoma and Texas each declined by two rigs. Colorado, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania fell by one each.
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and West Virginia were all unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May at 404.

Singapore has bowed to China finally! - Part 2
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2016/12/23/2003661755
After the seizure of SG tanks in HK, Singapore is playing by ear when it comes to dealing with China. SG had denied Taiwan ex-official entry so that it won't antagonize China.
China's strategy to gag SG for its vocal expression of anti-China remarks with the seizure of SG tanks has been working well because SG has managed to stay silent on Taiwan issues. Therefore, China will detain SG tanks as long as it deems fit to gag SG while it continues to besiege Taiwan politically.
Singapore port volume has dropped again!
Singapore port handling capacity volume in TEU:
2011 = 29.94m
2012 = 31.65m
2013 = 32.6m
2014 = 33.87m
2015 = 30.9m
2016 = 30.59m
SG port volume has dropped for 2 consecutive years. Will SG decline again in 2017? It is likely that SG port will decline further because of new ports and land freights operating in 2017 which are under the control of China.
China has upped its ante against Taiwan.
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/taiwan-protests-nigerias-demand-move-trade-mission-44729490
Nigeria has demanded Taiwan trade office to move out of its capital because of China.
China is taking more actions against Taiwan and there will be more draconian actions when Trump refuses to recognise the one-China policy.
The likely motive behind the seizure of SG tanks in HK is to compel SG to remain silent on the Taiwan issue. China will detain SG tanks as long as it deems necessary despite SG protest as it is an effective way to gag SG. This has proven to be true as we've been silence insofar.

Who will be in charge of South China Sea in the future?
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/china-russia-agree-more-countermeasures-against-u-anti-001503653.html
China and Russia will be in charge of SCS in the future, not USA! We better choose to be on the right side or else we will suffer. There is no way for USA to win a war against 2 big nuclear countries. Once China and Russia have set a code of conduct for SCS and strengthen their military ties for SCS, the rest of the world will have to follow this code of conduct and nobody is allowed to challenge it.

Hot news! CNN alleged Trump has a sex fetish!

CNN alleged that Trump has a sex fetish which is watching woman pissing! I've not seen a news media and an incumbent president squabbled in a news conference before. This shows that Trump is really unwelcome as the president. Even UK media doesn't like him.

US should stop the pissing match! Get real and put money where your mouth is!
http://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2061560/beijing-will-retaliate-if-us-tries-block-chinas-access
If USA wants to stop China or kick China out of South China Sea (SCS), it has to go to war with China. It's better to do it now than later. Once China has 3 aircraft carriers, it will have control of SCS. Therefore, USA should stop the pissing match and get real with some actions like starting a war with China. If not, USA should keep its mouth shut and remain silent forever because it will lose total control of SCS when China has 3 aircraft carriers. This is the harsh fact of life!
I don't advocate or promote SCS war but it's just useless to start a pissing match with nothing being done. Either we accept the inevitable outcome or we change the ensuing outcome. USA is not ready to start a SCS war but it is only willing to start a useless pissing match with China by dragging other Asia countries like SG and SK into it.

South Korea underestimated China's reaction on THAAD.
As the ruling party still insists on THAAD, China has upped the ante with a ban on 19 korean cosmetics after blockage of korean entertainment artistes.
if SG also underestimates China's reaction and insists on state immunity for our tanks, we may not get our tanks back because state immunity is NOT in force under UN. State immunity is a privilege extended to a foreign country and can be withdrawn or revoked when the political relationship between the 2 nations turns south.
