It's not NST, it's ST
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.
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.
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.
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.
