“If within the subsequent three years, we won’t get America and China in the identical room, sitting on the identical desk and doing what must be finished for our planet, we’re all in deep, deep bother,” Singapore Overseas Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan mentioned.
Dr Balakrishnan additionally spoke on what US-China ties imply for Singapore, on this interview with CNA’s Jaime Ho on Aug 11.

climate change is a hoax.
Balakrishnan should be an actor. This guy appears so false.
For Singapore to be a harmonious country, stop letting in any more new Indian immigrants. Those that have been there for generations they are nice people, it's the only new immigrants that are creating racial conflicts in Singapore.

The two superpowers are following the script issued by the hidden hands behind the curtain.
A very convincing and lucid explanation of where Singapore stands and its ideology. The FM is able to explain it so well.
If Biden resigns suddenly ,
because of sickness,
Kamala automatically would
become the president.
Thank you Minister Vivian for representing Singapore well. Very wise words said very well. We support you and your team 🙂
Singapore is a beautiful Chinese city
singapoRe would have lots of leaRn fROm switzeRLand.. on the stRAtegic use of taking position, while playing the neutRal caRd.
The model that China is following came out from Singapore. LKY was a good teacher. We used the state own enterprises to build on, now privatized and the state have a stake in them. China is doing the same by creating economic zones and practicing capitalism. We learnt from countries with the best administrative policies and fine tweak them to meet our environment and at the same time observing the world order. China is doing the same, however with a twist to it. It doesn't want to be a by stander and instead wants lead the world on its own terms…this it learnt from the USA and the former western powers.
Wisdom & carefully articulated stance to weather thru the storm.. 👍👍 Sg is to be friends & being useful to partners while maintaining our sovereignty.. 💙 team SG
Singapore is asking for the impossible from USA-CHINA RELATIONS. USA IS THE AGGRESSOR DING EVERTPYTHING IT CAN TO BLOCK CHINA GROWTH & EXPECTING TO COMPLY BY APPEASING USA BY NOT PROGRESSING. DOWN TO BASICS SINGAPORE IS BEING NEUTRAL, SMART, SAVVY BUT NON-COMMITTAL.
Time it right for KH visit. They should use brain to develop world, not military to bully the entire world. World has been very such watching that kind of attitude, yet it does not reflect even for one dot. Singapore small country wisdom is beyond one that claims to be number 1, proud to be Singaporean.
If we stopped oil drilling, and used nuclear power and renewables to power our stuff. We can beat it. But capitalism and greed will kill us all if we don’t act Now! Kids like me who are the future cannot live in a world where it has been destroyed by our past generation. If we change our way of living we can make a difference. But our military’s, power plants, and endless source for more than before is killing us. We have only 1 home, so let’s take care of it
Do see this link of US involvement in SEA
https://youtu.be/48nGhjNEhVg
We in Asean must reject this move. We want stability and peace , not another Middle East region in conflict. No Arab Spring, East Europe Colour Revolution, Juan Guido type of " fake government", Regime change, Afghan turmoil,.. US get out from SEA and East Asia.
The issue would be if we take positions others might have negative interest on us
So jealous Singapore got 1000+ times better performance minister than Malaysia !
Soon Singapore will see significant increase in covid cases for trolling the west and their vaccines.
Brilliant, articulate, summation of Singapore's position on China and USA relationship, by its foreign minister Vivian Batakrishnan.
That they are not taking sides is a great relief to people wanting peaceful dialogue, rather than sabre rattling.
^&(^(*)(_)+_)+^&*)American virus/American flu
Coronavirus originated in the United States. Two virus leaks occurred at the U.S. Virus Laboratory in Fort Detrick, Maryland, U.S. in 2019.On October 18, 2019, the 7th Military World Games was held in Wuhan china. American soldiers brought the coronavirus to Wuhan. the United States virus infected the world.Americans are trying to hide the truth
The planet is already in climate trouble
Its only the US which is forcing Singapore and many other countries to take side. Stop talking nonsense.
Better not play double headed snake with china..one of their delicacy ..
West will conquer
The Americans are more engrossed in doing China in and maintaining its hegmony to caring for climate change. To them, short term gain for those vested interests grps is the No 1 priorty. Global warming and destruction of earth's climate is not in their mind. Why? 10,20 yrs, most of those people who hold power at the top, are not around.
if LKY is alive n gov take position bewtween US n China i will fully support but u clowns can never take the heat
Vivian is a world class.
Min Vivian has done really well to represent us in the global community
I am not a Singaporean but a huge fan of Singapore world class diplomatic contingent that can think for its self. This is how a sovereign country acts, not like d five eyes, only sovereign in names. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Your video is 100% terrible. I won't disagree with your statements, but this is unnecessary and uncalled for. We're paying waaaaay too many taxes on this. I'm 34 and I do NOT care about the climate one bit. I don't care if the Arctic or Antarctica melts at a bad pace. Move to higher ground or go to Mars.
No sane and practical country big or small wishes to be put in an untenable situation to pick one superpower or the other. Why not work with both for peace and prosperity? Duh
Our minister represent singapore well and doing wisely but nobody can predict US , CHINA will do next because both country are monopoly around. But no matter how Singapore Minister still be able to handle the situation well.
Humankind has shown that in the face of a great existential threat (COVID-19), the 2 largest superpowers not only do not band together but spend more time pointing fingers at each other as threats and playing nationalist games to retain and gather political power from their base. I'll believe a collaboration when I see it… part of me feels we just have not evolved to be capable of that level of wisdom yet.
Indeed important to save the planet. But how is the carbon taxing framework under Paris Agreement going to solve the problem? We are still constrained by the fossil fuel technology, which is by far the most practical means of generating energy. Electrical systems/vehicle still requires burning of fossil fuels at energy source. End of the day, the poor-middle segment of society in other large economies will suffer from the higher pricing of essentials (e.g. heaters, gasoline prices etc.) because of the taxes. Those people will die of hunger before the planet is destroyed. This is one of the reason that compelled the previous US administration to break the agreement, because they are largely a consumption-based economy (hence paying most carbon taxes). This is of course not a problem for Singaporeans because we are comparatively and broadly rich and have many ways of buffering against carbon costs. Rather than discouraging consumptions via taxes, governments of large economies worldwide should take a more proactive role in funding of R&D into clean energy generation technologies. The current framework of letting private carbon market determine R&D, usually results in more funding for products/systems to manage the impact of global warming, rather than to prevent global warming. Why? It is more lucrative (easier to sell) to build safeguards, rather than invest in researching technologies that may not succeed. The solution to solve global warming needs to be more apparent, otherwise who the hell will be happy paying into a trading game like Paris agreement.
If you're looking for a way to help the environment you can switch to ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
it is necessary to combine forces, ideas, our thoughts for survival in order to find a way out. if we fail now, then our planet will simply die! why is nobody talking about it ?!
Global crisis. Search. look – This already applies to everyone. International online conference 07/24/2021. I really want everyone who cares about the future to wake up. there is an exit. you need to build a CREATIVE SOCIETY.
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Dr Vivian: pls speak Mandarin which could have been your Second Lang.
China surely remembers our 1965 Foreign Minister? Then mr Raja S ? SG knows quick accurate verbal comms is good . Mr Raja S brought a lang expert as well as personal comms were then confi. This makes China pleased.Mr Rajaratnam S was also a talk communicator. China communicates apparently regularly w INDIA as there are common interests. recent international news team idea.
