It not difficult to obtain info on the terrex shipment. Whenever a vessel berth at the port, they need to submit the bayplan to the port operator. Even if the containers are meant for transit, their detail like the gross weight, content. Port of load, Port of destination and even photos of the cargos need to be submitted..if saf equipments had been transitting chinese ports from taiwan, surely China is well awared of it long ago.
This would not pose a problem if either taiwan or sinkieland maintain good relationship with China. But now both tsai and lhl screwed up relation with prc, there is no longer any need for China to close one eye.
Having said so, it quite likely the terrex was held back on the technical ground of incompete declarations.
On the Macro side, we have find ourselves more isolated at any point since Independent as we have wrongly hedge on USA against China and USA is going to abandon us soon. At the same time we are not on very cordial relation with China. I don't think lhl has much bargaining power with either Trump or Xi. Making enemies everywhere is bad diplomatic blunder. Not only lhl but his foreign minister Vivien balakrishnan got themselves to blame for our situation.
thats why i say now is the time to kick USA to the curb and join China and the rest,after nearly 50 years of licking USA's boots they simply throw us under the bus?this bloody trump has no bloody respect for history at all.its time we supported three eastern superpowers China russia and india that for once have the capability to bring america to its knees,these american fat white pricks,take them down so they are in no position to dictate shit in the world anymore.after all we are chinks,the white devils will never respect us,so no point chasing after a man or father's respect where there is none,simply better to just destroy or vanquish him.
at the same time prove old fart wrong,trying to preserve the american hegemony,if there was a bigger devil in disguise it would be LKY,pretending to be a democracy when hes not,a white devil in chink's clothing.the fools believe that u need the west in order to be a economic success,just look at china,a economic success so great it became a life and force of its own,since the early 2000s,china has been driving the growth and development of over 100 countries,including countries in africa and asia nearly all asian economies are being boosted thanks to China,something which the western powers has never achieved.......this proves chinese are the superior race.not only our propensity for economic success is so great,we can uplift everybody around us.....name a single african or asian country that the west or america has developed........none,the south koreans did it on their own when the world gave up on them,south korea went from being the poorest country in the world after korean war in 1963 with $56 gdp per cap to first asian OECD country,japan could have done it themselves too with or without america.....all america did was politicise their country and brainwash them into being pro america.
Singapore should seize this opportunity to cuddle up to China and give the middle finger to trump and USA,america is becoming more and more economically redundant by the day but still important enough we should have some side investments in them.but otherwise,we should join forces with duterte and the rest of asia,china and russia,africa and india in kicking that useless whore to the curb.
let trump have his victory,the white supremacists are merely celebrating the last days of their eminence......from here on its all downhill for them.they can retreat back to the isolationist hobbit hole where they came from.
