Top Government Officials of Indonesia and Singapore recently dismissed the idea of choosing a side between China and the United States (US) during a Forum organized by the Standard Chartered Bank.
The Singaporean Official said that choosing a side would be a trap for South East Asian (SEA) Countries and that Singapore wants good relations with both China and the US. He also said that SEA Countries each need to make decisions based on their National Interests.
The Indonesian Official on the other hand, reiterated the need not to take sides between China and the US.
This goes to show that the US really has no close Allies in SEA. It used to be us, the Philippines, until Duterte’s Administration came along, so now they are desperate to get things back to having the Philippines as their Dog.
And remember that despite us being their closest Ally in SEA back then, they still went out and abandoned us when we asked for their help against China in Panatag Shoal in 2012.
