Singapore’s main complaint is that the FBI/DOJ didn’t compel Supermicro to cooperate fully with their investigation. It’s very possible cronyism played a part with this administration, but given that the DOJ brought charges against Supermicro executives earlier this year and subpoenaed the company, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were simply focused on their own investigation and/or didn’t have the legal authority to force them to cooperate.

This is a bizarre statement from Singapore to be honest.

Why would the US “compel” a suspect they are investigating to cooperate with an investigation in a foreign country?

Can anyone name a investigation in the past where one country “compelled” a suspect to cooperate with a foreign power?

People have to keep in mind Singapore loves to sit on the fence of US-China relations ask I can also imagine the US doesn’t feel like Singapore is going to be much help anyways.

Any investigation for which letters rogatory issued. Probably hundreds.

		Clearly not this though? Since the US never asked for assistance?

Not sure if you actually read the statement or just skimmed the titles but it seems like Singapore is just offering their side of the story and I don't see any "compelling"

Also what does Singapore's foreign policy have to do anything here? The statement states it already begun investigations once it saw that there was some foul play.

Not sure what you're getting at tbh
