When former Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew was alive, he was clear that if there was a conflict between the US and China, Singapore will not be involved, he pointed out.
In the event of war between the US and China, Singapore will not be used by the US as a base to attack China, in the opinion of former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo.
Singapore has extensive military cooperation with the US. It is an open secret that a significant number of US warships call on Singapore. Singapore also has military partnerships with Australia, which is part of AUKUS, a security pact involving the US, Australia and the UK. Fears of war between the US and China over Taiwan have increased lately. On March 7, two Australian newspapers splashed big stories on their front pages with screaming headlines warning of a possible war with China. The Sydney Morning Herald’s front page headline was, “Red alert: War risk exposed”, while the Age’s headline was, “Australia must prepare for China war”.
The Chinese are wondering whether the US has departed from the agreement between US President Joseph Biden and Xi to stabilize US-China relations when they met in Bali at the G20 summit last November, Yeo said. In Bali, US officials talked of setting guardrails to the relationship between the two countries.
