Serious Geopolitical climate and our position...

[Froggy]

Check out the Kra canal. If Singapore ever faced a real geopolitical threat, this is it.

Interesting times!

I'm sure our hawkish generals will be more than willing to invade Thailand and replace the corrupt junta with our very own incorruptible junta.

How will ASEAN work with this Red Dragon?

This is fast becoming a bigger issue today.

 

[A Singaporean]

Singapore has no natural resources and once bragged human as resource has gone old useless resource.

Next with Kra open in Thailand shipping route through Singapore lose its shine. Back to fishing village.

I do not think it is going to make much difference to Sinkies who are already fucked anyway by PAP.

This is fast becoming a bigger issue today.

Big countries like Malusia can deal with China on their own terms. They don't need a snot to tell them what to do.

By the way one tenet of geopolitics or as a matter of fact, basic common sense, is that you hold the interests of your citizens above that of other countries.

I wonder if the pap even knows this

I’ll call VB to check on this.

Our region is set to be the next area to watch- Vietnam is fast catching up.

Vietnam is China.

China makers relocate their plants to Vietnam to bypass US trade tariff, and for cheaper labour costs.

But raw materials still make in China. Vietnam is a sub-assembly plants only. And export under Made in Vietnam.

Vietnam is like Singapore in the 1970s for cheap labours. Materials still come from US/Europe send to Singapore for testings or sub-assembly and export from there under Made In Singapore.

Vietnam will be like Singapore in the 1980s where many Viets will take management course to climb up corporate ladders but will unlikely to copy and start their own biz to compete with China.

Another Jiakleowbee country like Singapore only trading. Then in 20 years time China factories move out of Vietnam to who know where?

Iraq or ME, or Africaaaaa!!!!

Our region is set to be the next area to watch- Vietnam is fast catching up.
