Lol look at the history of this new Wapo "reporter"
Was an intern in 2019 and writing crappy local news up til middle of 2022. All of a sudden she's a Pulitzer recipient and chief of southeast asia bureau.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with how she's a turncoat with a "Chinese" face who willingly works as a pawn for the US empire trying to stir shit in asia.
Also, guess where she was born and raised. Truly the anglo base of Asia known for producing white/US worshippers.
To be fair, I entirely agree.
I said it before but that really is the mood here in this country at the moment.
It is a bit disgusting to be honest.
However there are some reasons things turned out this way.
One reason is that the education system is fully imported from overseas, attitudes included.
You can guess what will happen if a person studies a liberal arts education imported from the west.
If you want things to be different, there is no point making a snarky forum post. The entire liberal arts university syllabus has to be challenged. Every year, thousands of reporters like her are created. She is just one of many.
Secondly, the country stresses racial equality with the other racial groups.
As far as the Malay race is concerned, my country is a small dot smack between Indonesia and Malaysia.
Indonesia is a growing power in its own right. Not being overwhelmed by your giant neighbors can already be considered a small miracle.
Indians also control large segments of Singapore society.
Therefore the focus on the west was probably considered to be the "neutral" position because there was a time long ago when the world seemed to be moving towards a cosmopolitan inclusive environment.
It made sense during the developing years 10-15 years ago when the world seemed to be moving in a globalist direction.
But its probably still a bit better than HongKong because at least we didn't trash our city into pieces trying to worship the west.
