November 23, 2016 Singapore armored vehicle seizure incident
On November 23, 2016 (October 24, 2016 in the lunar calendar), an armored vehicle in Singapore was detained. Singapore "Terex" armored vehicles According to information, on November 23, 2016, nine Singapore Army AV-81 armored vehicles were transported by the U.S. Presidential Ship (APL) and shipped back to Singapore via Hong Kong. They were detained by Hong Kong on the way. The exposure of this incident has given us a clearer understanding of the true face of Singapore. Singapore is an island country in Southeast Asia. Its residents are mainly immigrants, most of whom are Chinese. Its history dates back to the 3rd century. Historical records show that around 1330, a China named Wang Dayuan came to live here. Later, it was colonized and occupied by Portugal, Britain and Japan, and joined the Malaysian Federation after World War II. On August 9, 1965, Singapore broke away from Malaysia and became a sovereign, democratic and independent country. It is said that when he broke away from the Federation of Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew burst into tears and said that Singapore is a small place with no natural resources or even water. It has empty troops and insufficient national strength. Malaysia will not let it go easy when it separates from the Malays, and Indonesia in the south will also pose a threat to it. Singapore Location Map In order to survive, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Singapore chose the political strategy of establishing good relations with ASEAN and actively seeking asylum from major powers. Due to its long-term colonization, Singapore fell into the arms of the Western camp after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Subsequently, with its superior geographical location and support from Western powers, Singapore's economy developed rapidly and was known as one of the Four Little Dragons of Asia. It is also the fourth largest international financial center after New York, London and Hong Kong. One of the important service and shipping centers in Asia. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Singapore and Taiwan established diplomatic relations. It is said that Lee Kuan Yew and Taiwan's Chiang Ching-kuo had a difficult relationship at that time, coupled with the West's blockade and generally hostile attitude towards China, resulting in no progress in diplomacy between China and Singapore for a long time. After the reform, China's national strength began to grow stronger. In order to gain the power to contain ASEAN, Lee Kuan Yew began to visit China frequently. Political and economic exchanges between the two sides increased day by day, and comprehensive diplomatic relations were finally established in 1990. However, despite the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Singapore's ties with Taiwan have not been interrupted. In 2004, Lee Hsien Loong even publicly visited Taiwan, causing strong dissatisfaction from China. When Lee Kuan Yew visited the United States in 2009, he asked the United States to play a greater role in Asia. Even Obama said that Lee Kuan Yew inspired his Asia-Pacific rebalancing strategy and was a great strategist. It has to be said that Singapore's two-faced and balanced diplomatic strategy has brought huge political and economic benefits to it. In August 2016, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited the United States. Obama gave Lee Hsien Loong the courtesy that only leaders of major countries and important allies of the United States receive. Lee Hsien Loong also tried his best to flattery, praising the United States '"Asia-Pacific rebalancing" strategy, and even "putting on a high hat" to Obama's face, calling him the "first Pacific President" of the United States. However, this kind of extreme harm to China, the official media actually whitewash its behavior with the saying that "Singapore should be considerate." This time, the seizure of armored vehicles in Singapore once again showed us the anti-China nature behind Singapore. As we all know, the Taiwan issue is China's internal affairs and the bottom line for China in handling international issues. Any country engaging in political and military exchanges with Taiwan is a violation of China's sovereignty and interference in China's internal affairs. However, Singapore actually conducts military exchanges with Taiwan behind the scenes, which undoubtedly shows its true intention of supporting one China on the surface and actually supporting the division of China. As China, although it should understand the difficulty of a country growing up in its midst, this kind of two-faced approach that challenges China's bottom line still cannot gain the understanding of the China people. According to the latest news, these armored vehicles are still detained in Hong Kong. The Singapore government has been "trying to downplay" the impact of the incident on Singapore-China relations and hopes to recover these armored vehicles as soon as possible. However, Singapore has repeatedly hurt the feelings of the China people. Especially now that Tsai Ing-wen, a separatist, has come to power and cross-strait relations are extremely cold, Singapore is still conducting military exchanges with Taiwan behind the scenes. Moreover, it is Singapore's latest model of armored vehicles. I have to say that it is really unbearable! This time, China really cannot forgive! Singapore, it's time for you to pay a price!
