A crisis reveals Singapore's true foundation:
Who needs whom? Do you see it clearly now?
How many Singaporeans are actually unaware that
“Singapore had to turn to China to purchase crude oil to get through the crisis”
Fact: Singapore did "buy emergency crude oil from China."
1,Late March 2026:
China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) transferred about 1.8 million barrels of UAE's Murban crude oil from Dalian to Jurong Island, Singapore, supplying the SRC refinery jointly owned by CNPC and Chevron.
2,Background:
Conflict in the Middle East → Strait of Hormuz disrupted → Singapore's refinery capacity dropped to 50–60% → turned to China for emergency crude oil.
3,An unconventional, special-crisis transfer;
China rarely exports crude oil in normal times;
Singapore is 75% ethnic Chinese —
tell me, should China help or not?
