SINGAPORE IS SIDING WITH CHINA: Lee noted that China says its claims have a historical basis that predates international law. Im not a lawyer so I presume theres some plausibility in that argument, IT IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE TO MAKE THE AFOREMENTIONED STATEMENT WITHOUT PRIOR REVIEW OF THE SO-CALLED CHINESE HISTORICAL BASIS AGAINST HISTORICAL RECORDS PRESENTED BY OTHER COUNTRIES SUCH AS THE PHILIPPINES, VIETNAM, ETC. FOR EXAMPLE: LONG BEFORE ANY EXPEDITIONS MADE BY THE CHINESE TO ISLANDS IN THE EAST SEA (WEST SEA AS REFERRED TO BY THE PHILIPPINES, AND SOUTH SEA, BY CHINA) THE CHAMS OF ANCIENT CHAMPA, A MINORITY GROUP IN VIETNAM, HAD ALREADY EXPLORED, BEEN TO AND LIVED ON THESE ISLANDS. THEREFORE, TO MAKE IRRESPONSIBLE DIPOMATIC STATEMENTS SUCH AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF CHINA BULLYING SMALLER COUNTRIES SUCH AS VIETNAM AND THE PHILIPPINES FOR EMPIRICAL EZPANSION PURPOSES.
