I hope things do improve in India in their own way. I can't take joy from any deaths, especially killings of one's own child or children solely based on class. It's beyond unfortunate for all the families involved. The father who committed the murder deserves the death penalty no question about it. He's not going to get it for obvious reasons.

China and Singapore to resume military exercises, cooperate on defence education
  • Analysts say the developments are a ‘natural progression’ of warming defence ties between China and the city state, which also has strong strategic ties with the US
  • A question that will be raised is ‘the level of exposure both sides would have to each other’s doctrine and equipment’, one observer says
China and Singapore’s defence ministers on Thursday said joint military exercises suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic were set to resume, and pledged to deepen defence ties in their first face-to-face meeting since 2019.

Chinese Defence Minister Wei Fenghe and his Singaporean counterpart Ng Eng Hen held talks at the inaugural Singapore-China Defence Ministers’ Dialogue, where they discussed global security issues, a statement from the city’s defence ministry said. The two defence ministers also shared their respective views on bolstering defence exchanges between China and Asean, the statement said.....

The degree of China-Singapore military cooperation is still less than Singapore-with other Western nations. Singapore lets Western nations send warplanes from Singapore air bases to South China Sea. I don't know of Chinese military planes being allowed to use Singapore air bases.

It's a step in the right direction because you and most of us here all well know that U.S. military has been the superior power or force towards the end of WWII. From then on out up until today the U.S. military still holds certain advantages over the Chinese military. We shouldn't and must not forget this undeniable fact which is the guiding factor of Singapore defense relationship with the U.S.

But China's increasing undeniable military strength can't be ignored by Singapore or any of the nations that surrounds China, only an idiot would not realize and accept this new reality. As China's economic heft grows concurrently with her military strength, countries like Singapore among others in the region will naturally gravitate and adjust their views towards China. At the end of the day, China is the ASEAN countries perpetual neighbour while the U.S. is thousands of km away.

The US is heavily reliant on China and Russia for its ammo supply chain. Congress wants to fix that

WASHINGTON — The United States has relied almost entirely on China — and to a lesser extent Russia — in recent years to procure a critical mineral that is vital to producing ammunition.

The mineral antimony is critical to the defense-industrial supply chain and is needed to produce everything from armor-piercing bullets and explosives to nuclear weapons as well as sundry other military equipment, such as night vision goggles.

Antimony is now on the front lines of recent congressional efforts to shore up the strategic reserve of rare earth minerals, known as the national defense stockpile. The stockpile includes a multitude of other minerals critical to the defense-industrial supply chain such as titanium, tungsten, cobalt and lithium, but lawmakers expect will become insolvent by fiscal 2025 absent corrective action.

See liberals in SF think like the alt-right who think their votes are the only ones that count. The die-hard liberals don't see Asians as a part of San Francisco. That's why they get upset when the Asian-American community doesn't vote their way. They don't have to cater to Asians to get their votes. Asians are suppose to just do what the liberals tell Asians how to vote. It's an insult to them if they have to bother to convince you with any effort as they would for other groups that are more politically active. They had the same attitude with the recall of school board members. They had the same attitude when the late Ed Lee ran to be the first Asian-American Mayor of San Francisco. The liberal Democratic establishment is just as racist as Republicans are accused. Do they adjust because of changing voting demographics? No, they'll stick to their guns because they have their own agenda that they expect Asian-American taxpayers to pay but get nothing in return.

Asia Americans as a group is liberal in foreign affairs, moderates in social policies and conservative in law-and-order. I may be over simplifying. But lump them together with white liberal voters at your own (election) risk.

Welber Barral, Brazil-based partner at BMJ Consultores Associados, said China often brought investment in transport and infrastructure which helped trade deals in grains and metals, while governments often felt the United States was all rhetoric.

"Latin American governments complain that there's a lot of talk but ask 'where is the money'?" he said.

Damn ! Another noted "achievement" by Trade Representative Tai. My bet is that she will be the first to go in White House "realignment" prior to mid term election.
