More sly China bashing by the New Straits Times. Complaining about "foreign" (actually mainland Chinese) brands and people taking over commercial spaces. There's even a short section about Chinese immigration into Singapore.

Foreign business chains coming in and displacing local businesses is a not a new problem. And that is not exclusively a China problem. Every foreign business chain does that. If the Singaporean government wants to intervene, that's their decision to make. What I disagree is the NST is playing a hit piece like this to raise anti-China sentiment and possibly influence the government's decision.
It's not NST, it's ST

And it's really expected considering it's full of white worshippers and bananas. The same people writing this article are the same ones gushing over the latest Japanese ramen stall. They don't actually care about "local" at all.

Impressive. Even Taiwan-born Americans are now moving to China.

I mean its not exactly anything new. There are loads of people from Taiwan who moved to China for work. They pretty much find it easier than everyone else to move there since theres pretty much 0 language barrier. Speaking in a funny Taiwan accent isn't really much considering people especially from the outer provinces have really strong accents you cannot understand what they are saying. Much easier than HK where most people speak Cantonese rather than Mandarin. Only idiot westerners believe its hard. Even DPP don't believe it since we know when the cameras are off, they are probably doing cross border deals under the table.

Since Singapore they teach Mandarin there, I'm really surprised how many idiots there are there.

Some random users on Chinese social media talking about how there are a lot of Indians in Singapore is all it takes to trigger them so much huh?

I expected more from Singapore to be fair. Considering how much China bashing they do, they should be able to take a few more punches.
Singapore is like the pick me Asian girl who‘s expected to crap on her family and ethnicity for white acceptance, effectively the La Malinche effect.

In fact I’d go one further and say that Singapore is a white Anglo foothold into Asia, like Israel is to the Middle East, especially since both states sit at key nexuses of world trade. Singapore is where white males go to profit from Asia whilst not having to respect or abide by Asian customs or expectations. All the signs are in English and white westerners are afforded privileges that no Chinese Singaporean can enjoy, in fact even Indians get more privileges than Chinese in Singapore because white Anglo westerners are petrified of everything Chinese.

You can kinda see via the posture of China vis-à-vis the U.S. that the PLA is just waitijg for the right opportunity to expel the Americans from east Asia and the Americans are just biding time until they can find a solution to their rare earths debacle.

The ship service business (supplies, fuel, etc) of Singapore in the Malacca strait, there is no competition from Malaysia of Indonesia?

Nope, Singapore had the advantage of pre-existing port infrastructure inherited from the British, it was actually 1 country with Malaysia in a federation for many years after the British left, so Malaysia had no reason to build a new port, there was a real communist threat in Indonesia so the West kept it heavily destabilised, and the West never invested or gave hints they are willing to give loans for port development so there their governments weren't willing to risk it.

Today's blame game, according to WSJ - they didn't complain when they were winning:

Seems like Germany should boost domestic consumption instead leaning on export to make up for their economic collapse, they wouldnt need to export their industrial heaters for example if they paid Germans enough to buy an industrial heater for every man woman and child.

Clearly Germany is suffering from massive overcapacity in Mittelstand, they should thank China for helping them optimize the size of their industry to a more sustainable, domestic consumption driven model befitting a small, talentless, energyless, technologyless, friendless nation who suppert Israel and Ukraine without question.
