ST CloseUp: The rise of pro-China Singaporeans and what it means for Singapore​

CloseUp: Three Chinese Singaporeans who call themselves fans of China - at a time when the Asian giant and the US are warring for influence in a multi-dimensional struggle. A think-tank poll found that most Singaporeans view China favourably.

SINGAPORE - He runs his own tuition business, but Mr Michael Chan's biggest classroom is the website Quora.

There, the 50-year-old father of four has amassed millions of views over nearly a decade of responding to thousands of questions - many of which are about China.

Through posts that explain communism or rebut what he sees as Western media bias against Beijing, he sees his role as helping people better understand China.


This mission to enlighten comes from what he describes as a "pro-China" position - at a time of heightened tensions between the Asian giant and the United States.

He is not alone. According to a Pew Research Centre survey released in June 2021, Mr Chan's favourable view of China is shared by a majority - 64 per cent - of Singaporeans. Singaporeans are the only ones to view China more positively than the US.

In contrast, nearly three-quarters of people in Asia-Pacific view China negatively.


Some sensitivities arise from how such views in Singapore appear to be formed along ethnic lines.

Some 72 per cent of Singapore's Chinese view China positively, compared with 52 per cent of Indians and 45 per cent of Malays.

Beijing's rise in the world order has precipitated a bitter, multi-dimensional rivalry with the US, spanning an information war waged by both sides.

The race to entrench narratives and shape opinions has spilled into Singapore, where online forums are populated with anecdotes of fathers and grandfathers being "self-radicalised" by Chinese propaganda.

In September last year, a French think-tank issued a report identifying Singapore as a natural and particularly vulnerable target for Chinese influence.

For some of the Singaporeans who call themselves pro-China, they trace it to the pride they feel seeing an Asian country's surging technological, economic and cultural progress; accompanied by growing disdain for an America they once admired.

For others, it is about connecting with their ancestral roots in China, and finding a sense of belonging in ethnic identity.

These individuals acknowledge to ST CloseUp a delicate balance between identifying as Chinese and identifying as Singaporean, but they pronounce that the order is clear: Singaporean first, and Singapore's interests first.

CloseUp, an investigative video series, takes a deeper look at issues that hit close to home.

Used to be very pro-China until unfolding events leading to Singapore's debacle in the Suzhou Industrial Park project in the late 1990s.

If you have dealt with tiongs personally then you will know how fucked-up the cuntry and the people is. There's many good reasons why the whole world despise them.

I used to be pro-PAP before that.

When I was in Kunshan (next to Suzhou) previously, my Taiwanese client told me the story. After seeing the success of the Singapore's SIP, their local municipal council then built an exact similar one next to the Singapore SIP and named it New SIP. They then offer to companies to lease at half the price of the Singapore SIP. From then onwards, it became the downfall of the Singapore SIP until we have to sell back the Singapore share of it back to them. LKY had complained to Beijing about this but the government in Beijing claimed that they have no control over the municipal government there. What a piece of crap from a Central Government?

The very year majority control of the SIP project was turned over to the Chinese, the project became profitable. WTF

Tiong companies can easily be profitable because they can meddle with the accounting with no legal consequences. Other people can't see the real numbers because of "National Security" concerns. That's why tiong stocks are going downhill now as US authorities are demanding to see real numbers.
