WASHINGTON - Lack of trust between China and the United States adds complexity in a global order currently under attack, Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan told an audience at the Asia Society in New York on Friday.
He was hosted at the Asia Society by Daniel Russel, Vice President for International Security and Diplomacy at the Asia Society Policy Institute. And the"complicated and difficult relationship between the United States andChina adds another layer of complexity, risk, and danger to this perfect long storm."
"We have all witnessed a China that has become more muscular in defending its interests. It has taken a more active international stance in the belief that its time has come, and it wants to assume its rightful place in the world order," he said. The US-China rivalry inevitably affects all - and especially Asia, he said. As for South-east Asia, it is natural for some countries to be closer to one side or the other.
