Wait till you go take a look at their popular local forum called hardware zone, particularly the sub forum, eatdrinkmanwoman. Now that's a real anti china cesspool.
Hardwarezone is the embodiment of the average sub 35 year old Singaporean. A very unpleasant and unlikeable individual in general. East Asian societies tend to be materialistic, competitive, and resemble a rat race. However, PRC, Taiwanese, Koreans and Japanese are generally still happy to see their peers succeed, and in China, it is common to give back generously to your home village if you get rich.

Singapore stands out in this regard - to an average Singaporean, it's not enough that he or she succeeds - everyone else around them must fail too. And if someone else does succeed, then their success is directly taking away from yours. Singaporeans truly are a special breed of unpleasant. And all this is coming from a Singaporean.

I know what you mean, while I've visited SG many times on business and generally enjoy the place, with people (superficially) being nice, upon scratching below the surface, and spending more than a few days with them, their true colors tend to show. But many SGers are geniuely nice folks, all middle aged and older ones.

I tend to find Malaysian Chinese to be more balanced and friendlier.

Malaysian Chinese are so much more likeable in general, I don't know what it is, maybe getting abused for a lifetime by rigged bumiputra policies has something to do with it. Stockholm syndrome shit. Or maybe it's something in the water. Idk.

I am under 35 myself but I despise Singaporeans my age, I literally cannot be around them. All my Singaporean friends (teachers is probably the right word) are 40+. They all simp for China, frequently read zaobao, listen to Xi Jinping speeches and call out western bullshit and hypocrisy. That's the kind of people I wanna be around lol.

That's their plan. English language -> participation in the Western cybersphere -> get brainwashed from Western propaganda -> hate China

Quite simple actually.
Then the question must be asked: why is it so effective among Chinese Singaporeans but not among ethnic Chinese in the west? At least not to the same degree. I grew up in Australia and Canada and served NS in Singapore, so I can attest to this - ABCs are more supportive of China than their Singaporean counterparts. Perhaps it has something to do with being a minority vs being part of the majority. The former are forced through circumstance to band together to a common identity. Food for thought.

If such a prophecy ends up being true and assuming we are both around to see it, I wish to meet you one day to share a drink if only to say, we as Chinese are no longer anyones b$&ch any more and can continue to walk tall. Again though I honestly wonder how it’s all going to go own in the US, if only because there are so many red flags, none of us really know how the beginning of the end if going to start
Well, if your curious as to how its gonna go down in the US, here's an excerpt from the book. Keep in mind these readings were made back in 1982:

A general worsening of economic conditions in the United States, caused by the
export of manufacturing jobs to third world countries, combined with jobs lost to -> 1980s-2000s
automation. This would cause an economic decline in the United States, and a
weakening of the stock market and financial markets.

• This would be accompanied by massive corporate, or “white collar,” crime and
corruption. No-Eyes predicted that formerly respectable executives at big -> Enron/Lehmen bros/2008 Recession/etc
corporations would use their position to rob the treasuries of those companies,
and this would shatter the faith investors had in corporations.

• A final trigger to a global financial collapse would be the disappearance of
international free trade. She predicted a trade war would erupt between countries,
and international free trade agreements would break down. A deflationary spiral -> China-US trade war was the beginning, the coming food & energy
would result, leading to a collapse in commodity prices and the destruction of the crisis will probably blow this open
banking system.

• These economic changes would be accompanied by massive changes in climate.
The seasons would be “all mixed up,” with large temperature fluctuations from -> The weather has been getting more extreme each year in the US
day to day. This would be accompanied by increasingly fierce storms. Tornadoes
would appear where they had never been seen before. Drought would be
widespread, and would be alleviated only by flash flooding, as the weather
behaved erratically and went through wild fluctuations.

• The droughts would cause sink-holes to be a spreading problem, swallowing up
homes without warning. This would also be a time of rising disease, including -> Covid-19 was probably one of them.
biologically engineered diseases, which would kill many.

• Increasingly, religious organizations would become involved in politics, and the
politicians would make more laws about religion. The constitutional guarantees -> Roe vs Wade? LOL
of separation of church and state would begin to disappear, and this would lead to
protests.

• The United States would increasingly become involved in military operations and
wars overseas. We would become involved in many wars in “little countries” and
this would bring back the draft. The expense of conducting military operations in
so many countries would break the national budget, further damage the economy
and lead to burdensome increases in taxes.

• The earth itself would go through extreme changes, with large earthquakes
leading to a shift in the earth’s poles causing massive tidal waves and destruction. -> Remember the eerie red sky that was reported in Shanghai
This would be forewarned by several days of "green sky" which suggests auroras last week?
and atmospheric electrical activity, perhaps indicating solar activity as the
trigger. The shape of the land masses would be different after the resulting
massive earth changes.

• There are many predictions she made pertaining to the time following this. A
catastrophic war in the Middle East, nuclear weapons detonated by men with
“brown skin,” and eventual political upheaval in the United States were among
her predictions. A long term change in the weather was predicted, leading to a
time of dramatically reduced rainfall. A time was predicted in which global
average rainfall would shrink to near zero.

He's pretty much a dictator at this point so I don't think public opinion will bother him too much. He's been fine with various european countries supporting Kurdish and Islamist groups at various points.

This is just a way to get more concessions (i.e. money) out of NATO. He's dumb for trying it. It may work against the EU with refugees, but it won't work on America.
Both claims are wrong.

1- Erdogan lost all of the important cities of Turkey to the opposition in 2019. His ability to rig elections is nowhere close to Putin's. He has elections next year too and he is less popular than ever.

2- No it isn't. That is a very simplistic look. Turkey has actual problems with both Sweden and Finland. It is about Sweden and Finland. Turkey is not trying to blackmail the USA. The USA doesn't need these countries at all. If it wants to fight for them it can just sign an MDT with them too.

You said NATO is a military alliance. It is true. It is a military alliance that makes it mandatory for all of its members to spill blood in case a member gets attacked. Turkey by not vetoing Sweden and Finland would agree to go to war for these countries' territorial integrity. Of course Turkey will demand things before agreeing to die and kill for these countries, which it has disputes with. I think most people do not understand the gravity of the responsibility NATO members have towards each other. This is not Biden's summit of democracies. By joining you accept getting vanished in a nuclear war for existing members. By letting someone join you accept getting vanished for that country. Funnily enough, the requirement of NATO to go to war for protecting Turkey (because it is a member) was the primary argument against NATO membership in Sweden. Now, thanks to Russia they have no problems with protecting Turkey :D.
The USA can sign an MDT. None of Turkey's business.

I don’t think it about being a minority vs being a majority. In Vietnam, the Chinese are minority yet there are quite a lot of them hate the CPC to the core, they think Taiwan is more Chinese than China in term of culture and support the Us to bring down the current government of China. In China, the Chinese are majority obviously yet I saw some of them uploaded some content that has Vietnamese titled. And it mostly about how they think China don’t have real Chinese culture but rather Taiwan, how they anti CPC. It comments section are filled with ethnic Chinese in Vietnam ally with them and the ultra nationalist Vietnamese taking advantage of it to bash Chinese.

Does the VCP not promote the CPC as fellow socialist comrades? Or is Vietnam infiltrated with western propaganda too? Maybe it has something to do with China's history of imperialism in Vietnam?
