Singapore has reached the point of stagnation, just like
all economies. We had a head start together with Taiwan and South Korea
in the sixties, not to forget Japan, over China by decades. But now
that China has caught up, and overtaken them by surprise, these two
Asian Tigers and Japan are now floundering.
Singapore's top
trading partners unsurprisingly are Mainland China and Hong Kong, with
USA in third position. Can Singapore afford to lose all that by openly
embracing USA and antagonizing China?
Just look at Argentina
attempting to go back to the dollar and facing enormous economic
problems. Italy made the mistake of cutting itself off from the BRI. The
Italian PM, Giorgia Meloni, is now going back to Beijing to ask for
help. Italy saw what could be gained from Xi's recent visit to Serbia
and Hungary and is regretting its exit from the BRI under pressure by
the USA. She is a shameless shrew trying to play a man's game with her
flipping and flopping.
China should give her the same treatment
it gave to Ursula born the Liar, ignoring her as a tag along despite her
insistence to follow Macron during his China trip some time ago. She
was undoubtedly spying on Macron for the USA, which Xi knew all along
and thus the private tea party that only Xi and Macron were present. It
was reported to be a moment for them to enjoy tea, but we know there was
much more to it than that.

If China can tame the big Japanese and South Korean tigers, and all the other smaller tigers, which other global tiger is China afraid of?
The biggest revelation about China's rise is that it has an all-round domination in almost all sectors of global activity, not just particular sectors, which is not found in other countries like Japan, South Korea, Germany or the USA. And the domination extends even to essential raw materials in the ground and up to the facilities to extract and refine them for use.
China not only is dominating in consumer products like EVs, renewable energy equipment like solar panels and wind turbines, but also in shipbuilding, in drone technology, in space exploration, in telecommunication like 5G. How dominant China has become in military hardware and digital warfare is not well defined or exposed, but certainly not a stagnant sector. China is intending to dominate semiconductors and airplanes going forward. The signs are there, and it is a warning that the West needs to take note.
The USA and the West can continue to downplay Chinese developments and achievements, like the Huawei Pura 70 phone, and delegate China's military hardware as mere junks. What is junk and not junk is clearly displayed in the Ukraine and Middle East Wars, with DJI drones being preferred to multi-million dollars reaper drones made by the USA. Looking down on China and denigrating China is not a wise move, as what happened over the last three decades.
The American and western media have been blowing their own trumpets about how superior were their weapons and technologies. The F22 is the best fighter aircraft. F35 is also very good, but much inferior to the F22, and plagued with numerous problems. Only fools that believed in American propaganda and lies would want to buy the F35. Or they were forced to buy as protection money to the Americans, thus no choice. No fish, prawn also ok.
F22 and F35 are American's best. F22 supposedly better than J20, But F35 very much inferior. Now that the Americans have stopped production of F22 citing nonsensical reasons to can a so called superior fighter aircraft, the best American fighter aircraft is now the problematical F35, basically a dud. No American fighter aircraft is now in the class of China's J20.
How to fight against the PLA Air Force? Actually the scrapping of F22 tells a lot about its fake claims of superiority. Why would the Americans scrapped their so called best fighter aircraft if it is really that good? And now left with a sick F35 that is no where near the J20.
