But China had made its choice and that is Indonesia and Thailand, frankly speaking what will Singapore offer that is attractive to China? The Market is too small and they have HKG, in fact I have a sense that the Singaporean knew it too that's why they had been courting India and are a willing vassal to the US, they see their future in these 2 countries NOT in China.

Have you seen any political, military and trade action from SIngapore that is anti-China?
"in fact I have a sense that the Singaporean knew it too that's why they had been courting India and are a willing vassal to the US, they see their future in these 2 countries NOT in China."
These are your personnal perception, and they are not true. China and Singapore have collaborated in many areas especially in geopolitics and commerce. Malaysia is also very friendly with India and USA, does that made Malaysia anti-China?
China has military conflict with India but Singapore and Malaysia has none of these. Being friendly to all countries is being not taking side with countries in conflict. This applies to US-China conflict and China-India conflict.

NO I don't BUT they know their geography, IF push come to shove the Chinese will not intervene if war do happen with Malaysia and Singapore, they know it due to Chinese non interference policy, so there is a need for a big power who is a willing participant and a protector that's where the American comes in. In fact to tell you the truth the Singaporean view the Quad favorably cause for them having the US tied down in Asia ensure her security plus having Japan and India in there will make a great deterrent. So yes Singapore is in the western camp and NO amount of protestation will amount to anything cause they have NO say from the beginning, having sold their sovereignty for security.

OK, it is useless to discuss with you. Your hard headed bias personnal perception stays as it is. Think what you like to think. No more reply on this topic.
Well thanks for your patient, I just stated my opinion like everybody else whether it fit your view or not.

It is the Singapore media especially The Straits Times and Channelnews Asia and America nuthuggers like Collin Koh who are anti-China. The latter, as everyone knows, is effing cringeworthy.
Cmon really, you could have picked a better example.
Lianhe Zaobao is even more anti-China than CNA.
go to Singapore and look at any polls. Any Chinese there that's not born locally are pretty much loyal to China. With the recent Middle East situation, pretty much all the Muslims are going to favor China over US also. I Mean how much longer can Singapore really stick with America? It's one thing to go with America when it's supplying the best weapons. What happens when Indonesia and Malaysia both start flying J-35As?

Russian gas is expected to power households in Shanghai by the end of the year after Chinese workers finished building the final section of the east-route natural gas pipeline between the two countries, China’s state television said on Monday.
The pipeline, which links the northeastern Heilongjiang province that borders Russia and the eastern metropolis, would soon be fully operational after the southernmost section linking Jiangsu and Shanghai was officially completed, CCTV reported.
The 5,111km-long gas route, a signature project underscoring tightening economic ties between China and its resource-rich neighbour, would provide “stable natural gas supply” for a combined 130 million households each year, it added.
