An example of a country that lives off of exports to the U.S. is Singapore.

Their exports to China and other countries are mainly part of the supply chain to the U.S. When world trade boomed, Singapore’s seaport became largest hub for freighters and supertankers.

Nearly everything manufactured in Singapore is made for export. (Singapore foolishly grows none of its own food.) One out of every three workers in Singapore is a foreigner. Singapore has passed a recent law, the Public Order Act, to prepare riots and revolution in the country due mainforeign worker layoffs,.

The point was also brought home to Singapore by the riots in Thailand, which forced the international leaders at the Asean meeting to flee the conference by helicopter to avoid bodily harm.

Credit Suisse predicts a loss of 200,000 jobs in Singapore by the end of 2010.

Singapore’s exports collapsed by a crushing 35% in January. Manufacturing output fell by 29% in the first three months of the year, compared with the same period last year, and the beat goes on.

There is no way that the economies of Singapore and the U.S. will recover until the growth of U.S. unemployment stops.

PM Lee almost forced to leave by “small boats” in Pattaya

leeboat580290.jpg

From George Yeo’s blog entry:

Up on the 12th floor, I could see the red shirts milling around the conference centre, moving hither thither. Soldiers and policemen stood in groups not really engaging them. Not long afterwards, I could hear helicopters whirring overhead picking up people from the rooftop. Out at sea, naval ships on patrol moved closer to shore and small boats also picked up passengers.

PM was told by the Thai Government that he and the Singapore delegation should evacuate by sea, to be ferried by small boats to a nearby LST which would take us to Sattahip naval base. From there we could drive to U-Tapao. It all seemed quite unseemly to me that leaders and ministers had to leave in this way. But anyway we packed our belongings and waited for instructions since the Thais were responsible for our security. Happily we were informed around 3.30pm that the demonstrators had dispersed and we could travel by road to U-Tapao with full dignity.
