The "Peace Bonus" of 70 or 80 years after the end of World War II has disappeared.Nowadays, the pillars that support the peace and prosperity of the world have begun to shake. Not only China, but countries are expected to increase national defense budgets in order to ensure national security.
Dr. Vivian, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: "I expected to include Asia, and global defense expenses will increase. However, I want to point out that everyone must recognize the reason behind this."
"The rules -based international order, the emphasis on economic integration, the open economic and free trade, these are equations that promote peace and prosperity. However, now everyone's confidence in these pillars has begun to shake, in a certainIn terms of seed, (increasing national defense expenses) is a reaction of risk aversion. "
In the interview with Bloomberg on Monday (March 6), it talked about the end of the "Peace Bonus" after World War II and his views on China's increase in military expenditure budget.
Heping and Red Wealth refers to the costs saved by the country's defense on economic construction and other uses when the national defense threat is reduced.
Vivian: Raising national defense expenses in various countries does not mean to invest in military reserve competitions
The tight situation of the Taiwan Strait and India has made China's defense budget this year attract the attention of the outside world.At the National People's Congress held on Sunday (March 5), China announced that the increase in military expenditure budgets increased for three consecutive years, an increase of 7.2 % over last year.
Haslinda Amin, Haslinda Amin, asked Vivian Asia how to react to China's military expense budget this year, and whether it will trigger a military reserve competition in Asia.
Weiwen believes that there are reasons behind the raising of national defense expenses, and it is not that this is equivalent to investing in military reserve competitions.
He said that no one wants to see the ability to invest in infrastructure, interoperability, productivity, education, or human training in infrastructure, interoperability, productivity, education or human training in Asia.
As long as these budgets are not eroded, he will not worry too much, but will increase national defense expenses as part of global evolution.
Vivian also mentioned that the defense expenditure in Europe and the United States is still higher than other countries, even several times more than China.Even if China increases the military expense budget, it is only a small part of the US military expenditure.
"The rise in defense expenditure is a global phenomenon. I think this is just an indicator, indicating that everyone almost thinks it is the peace and prosperity after World War II."
In response to the deterioration of the situation in the South China Sea and China and the United States, whether it will force the Asian countries to choose the border stations? Weiwen urges the country to ask for the country without giving up sovereignty.
Singapore is not a country of sovereignty disputes in the South China Sea. Weiwen said: "I don't want to dilute the tension of the South China Sea, but that if everyone keeps calm, do less dramatic things, follow the money, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will leave, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go, I will leave, and I will leave.Think of this will help. "
He said that the ideal Southeast Asia is to allow the United States, China, Europe, and other powers to participate in creating the peace, prosperity and development of this area, thereby achieving a balance of strength.
