I guess you're right, its going to be very unlikely this would be settled globally. All the poorer countries can do is to start their own seed saving or GMO program to ensure their own food supply, especially after its shown that US will block seed shipments for their geopolitical goals like they did with Russia.
I bet Gordon wrote it himself.
Well you're doing a good job trying to isolate China then. US is the one trying to create clique and blocs, disrupting supply chain and killing global cooperation, so why don't you tell US to buzz off then? If you're telling China to operate under US rules, then its inevitable that the split will happen, unless you can somehow keep US under a leash. China has no intentions of splitting from the region, and want to actually integrate even further, so this message makes no sense.
This guy needs to stop being a two-faced bigot. As China builds up its semiconductor industry over the next couple of years, singapore's role in semiconductor will be diminished totally. By that time, these pesky Singaporeans will know their place in the world.
I know right. I understand that he wants playing both sides of the benefit of their country and the stability of the region, but the region is already lopsided in US' favor with South Korea and Japan under their control. China doesn't have much strong allies within the region, and by joining that pact they're giving US another inch which will turn into a mile, isolating China even further.
It's good for China to have a rational person in the US camp, so at least someone can try to increase mutual understanding. And once China is the dominant military power in the Pacific, Singapore will look to China for its security anyway
@Coalescence bro his economy will be the first victim if China create it's own Semiconductor eco system, how many big countries did the collective west sanction, from those China had a ready market to focus on plus us in the Global South, so who isolate who...lol
