I'm not comparing Singapore and Germany if that was what you thought I was doing.
I'm trying to say that when China increases her soft power, it makes it easier on diaspora world wide, regardless of whether you are in Singapore or Germany.
I just wanted to show a few examples of soft power used well
It is actually really hard to talk in forums. I feel like everyone tries to think the worst of your intentions and gets over aggressive and starts making irrelevant points to "counter" what they thought were your intentions.
If you want or it makes you feel happier, I can easily show that Singapore is not that great either. American soft power is still vastly stronger here than Chinese soft power ( as it is almost everywhere). In many of my previous points, I made the point that Singapore was heavily under American influence. I felt that some people didn't like it and thought I was trolling because it was very negative. This time I was trying to do the opposite and show some positivity.
I understand perfectly. I have been overseas for an extended period before and it vastly shaped my experiences. Please don't think that I am looking down on your experiences or anything
