no, Singapore NEED China... without China, there is no need for Hongkong or Singapore. we exist because there is a demand for our services, there is a demand for our services because China exist. even without us, China will still exist, but without China, there is no reason for us to exist... this is why we push for RCEP, to ensure China is part of an FTA with ASEAN. it not because China need us to do all this, it is because we need China to continue to function as a hub. else Malaysia can easily take over our role... our advantage come from being majority chinese, this make it easier for us to win the business over Malaysia. if forced to pick, we will have to pick China over US. because all our neighbour are friendlier to China than US. Malaysia and Indonesia is expressing interest in BRICS+. as our leaders always said, Singapore is a "small boat", we cannot sail against the tide. if US cannot convince the majority of ASEAN that they are not evil and seek to create a cold war in Asia, than we will have no choice but to go with the majority, we cannot be "israel" nor is it in US interest to have another "israel"-like problem. if US cannot repair it relation with the muslim, and admit it was wrong, this game is for China to win.

Maybe Lee misunderstood Deng's character. Deng was just an old fox. He needed the US to open up for China at the time. He would never say anything to alert the Americans. Singapore, on the other hand, was no real threat to China. He could say anything.

And now it looks like China's overbearing dictatorship is bringing all this undone.

sadly, LHL is a weak leader and has decided to break long held neutrality and have volunteered to openly side with U$ in condemning RF.

@@user-vc5qk9tg7u - Yes LHL is a weak leader very unlike his father which views things more objectively and doesnt cloud his judgement with sentiments and emotions that is what makes LKY a tough and uncompromising leader which is why I admire him alot till today.

@@albertwong1919 LKY was respected all over the world, albeit constantly demonized by the west for being "authoritarian". Western leaders often uses that excuse because they couldn't tell the difference between a patri0t and a businessmen. LKY is a patriot and is very aware of how c0rporations can influence and buy politicians, case in point U$A, which is run by a bunch of c0rporate businessmen or CEOs where everything is run for profits only.

Yes. LKY was respected, even revered in China for his wisdom and his proven track record. And for his ideas and advice to Deng bearing fruit for China. And he would visit China every year and his advice and perspective helped China and Chinese leaders negotiate their way in the world. We do not know if LKY was a moderating influence, translating and explaining to the CCP and her leaders what the actions and reactions of the western world means, and how China should best respond to the perceived slights, insults and provocations of the west. BUT... since his (LKY) passing, China's standing in the world (at least in opinion polls, if not in other aspects) have tumbled. China and her leaders have not had the benefit of LKY's advice and perspective and explanation (of the actions of the West), and she has responded and reacted instinctively, instead of thoughtfully and measuredly and wisely. And China has stumbled in the last few years. Not because they are unwise, but because they do not fully understand the Western world, and the Western mind, and the (western-oriented) world the Dragon is emerging into. For that, they HAD Lee Kuan Yew. Until 2015. (Are not most of China's "missteps" in the years after LKY's passing? Maybe it is just a coincidence.)

Agree. As a Singaporean, I say this is true.

It is alright for Singapore to play both sides. China is quite benign on Singapore's relationship with Taiwan, as long as it is kept low key.

@@lychan2366 Singapore does not sing songs about it but it is not a secret that the Singapore Armed Forces have military training bases in Taiwan for decades that included combined arms exercises involving many thousands of soldiers at a time.

@@tvgerbil1984 Singapore's ties with Taiwan date back decades, including the use of military training grounds in Taiwan, that pre-date Singapore's resumption of formal diplomatic ties with the PRC. This is due in no small part to the personal ties between LKY and the successive generations of leaders on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. From a certain angle, your last sentence can be interpreted as a subtle and backhanded compliment to Singapore's diplomacy with the PRC leaders. Still, it can be a fragile thing and cannot be taken for granted. In 2016, the HK Customs unexpectedly seized Singapore's armoured personnel carriers in transit via HK harbour from Taiwan to Singapore, To Singapore, Beijing's pointed message was loud and clear.

Deng also ask LKY, Msia and Thailand to gang up on Vietnam. LKY told Deng they rather gang up on China because China is supporting communism uprising here (Deng didnt know). 3 years later, Deng stop support communism uprising in this area resulted communist separist surrender in late 80s.

Is it fun?

that's ok if Vietnam attacked

On the eve of the Vietnam Invasion 1979 Lee Kuan Yew was seeing Deng off at the Airport (Deng was in Singapore). Deng passed the message through Lee for PRESIDENT NIXON and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger that China was going in to SPANK THE NAUGHTY CHILD VIETNAM 🇻🇳. At that time VIETNAM HAD A GRAND VISION OF A "GREATER VIETNAM " and had invaded and occupied LAOS 🇱🇦 & CAMBODIA 🇰🇭. Lee Kuan Yew said in his BIOGRAPHY that it was IRONIC that whilst USA failed to STOP NORTH VIETNAMESE TAKING OVER SOUTH VIETNAM 🇻🇳 ... CHINA 🇨🇳 WAS THE ONE THAT MANAGED TO STOP VIETNAMESE EXPANSION IN SOUTH EAST ASIA. REASON USA 🇺🇸 was in SOUTH VIETNAM was to prevent what they called the DOMINO'S EFFECT of South East Asia countries falling to COMMUNIST NORTH VIETNAM. My memory might be a little off but i believe Lee Kuan Yew and Henry Kissinger wrote about this in their BOOKS 📚 😉... Go Singapore 🇸🇬 Go...

I agree with you but except Malacca. Singapore still has many investments and those businesses are increasing fast, such as GIC, Capital Land which is known in every majority city. But China doesn’t have much profit from SG

Fast does not mean durable though, especially with how much of China's growth is all from debt to fund increasingly unproductive builds 🐢🐇 America's share will drop as it relocalizes production, but SG's continued prosperity is more likely to come from India and ASEAN 🇮🇳🍚

Wow, some real ‘intellectual’ comments here. I think my point that SG is less likely to get tied up between US/China and more likely 5 eyes/China (as they actually work with 5 eyes as a third party) went straight over the heads of these keyboard warriors who prefer their own imaginations.

Currently the relations are easing thanks to Penny Wong Australia foreign minister. Hopefully Australia will find a nice balance with USA and China rather than be manipulated into fear just to bring in votes by a political party.

中国是开放的 愿意和全球任何致力于和平和经济发展的国家合作

I think it is more "Lee Kuan Yew" than "Singapore". Certainly, if you say to the Chinese people or leaders that China needs Singapore, they will be insulted. The rising Dragon does not want to be seen as needing anyone, any single country. That said, they do respect, admire, and hold in high regard LKY. They trust his words, and will give due consideration to his advice. However, since his passing China does not have an independent/external voice to moderate their inclinations. And by them, I mean Xi JinPing. Xi has systematically secured his position, and eliminated any naysayers or possible oppositional voices. Thus China's "nationalistic fervour" has no check, no brakes. They respond almost instinctively, and reflexively to every perceived slight, insult, or provocation. In place of real solutions for high Youth Unemployment, a property market in crisis, falling economic growth, declining and ageing population, they turn to the same old drum beat of "reunification of Taiwan". This is just a rallying cry to bring disparate, desperate, disgruntled people to "rally around the flag". It is jingoistic. But it *might* just work. For a while. Without LKY to advise them to look towards longer term, real solutions, China is left to play short term games and dance to old familiar tune. But, there's no one to tell Xi any different.

I agree with your view. Sg's usefulness to China will decrease with time. I believe Sg leaders and majority of Sg citizens are aware with this reality and plan appropriately in advance.

Nothing is transparent regarding Sg money

If US China war erupt Chinese missiles will hit American facilities in Sg. Be neutral. Is it possible? Actions speak louder than words

How is it possible Singapore is lucky for 57 years? You’re giving Singapore too much credit for being lucky! 😂 we Singaporeans don’t believe in luck though, we depend on hard work and a strong support and trust between Government and People to pull thru every crisis like how we have dealt with Covid. There’s not many countries where the people and government trust each other and work closely together to create miracles.

On IT issue, being one in the past, favor in tech training usually was given to foreigner whom was technically better (the reason they were employed), new locals mostly only got yearly local training like table manners, social hangling .......company called soft skill that's "essential" etc. In turns of oversea(technically advancement almost all in usa), maybe days or weeks of training, at most condensed into an hours of summary session of "sharing". With this going on for years, there is no reason why there is no gap in levels of skills. One of the reason I left this industry. BTW foreigners usually left Singapore in matters of years, only sees a few whom married to locals stays, of which local spouse also went to USA for a better life.(ps: know some will argue....... I'm sharing the accounts 20~40 years ago).

that's what a white-washed said.

And heartless.

I don’t know how smart is China’s leadership but 3 years of Covid certainly taught me that my small imperfect Singapore government is a million times better than other government around the world. At the very least, all the mistakes our government made, they apologised for it.
