S'pore is second most influenced by China in the world, according to Taiwan report

echnology domain. The domain looks at the activity and financial leverage of Chinese companies in the tech sector, the use of Chinese hardware, and bilateral research partnerships.Singapore also registered the third-highest score - with Taiwan coming in first - in the domain of society, which assesses China's soft-power efforts and hold over local organisations and citizens.

Singapore was fifth when it came to China's economic leverage over policy or corporate behaviour, with New Zealand top of the table. The index said that in 2016, after an arbitral tribunal's ruling against China's claims to a handful of islands in the South China Sea, Singapore businesses were reportedly"warned" that Singapore's insistence on international law could jeopardise their commercial position in China.

In the media domain, former foreign minister George Yeo and academic Kishore Mahbubani were described as part of"an increasing number of prominent individuals" in Singapore promoting the Chinese official line on current affairs. The index also pointed to Singapore's media outlets hiring China natives, with some in prominent positions hosting or editing news shows.

Of course.

Recall some years back when SG had to backtrack on comments made in order not to anger big bro China.

Taiwan report is obviously biased.

'In the areas of technology, society and academia - but less so for domestic politics' How much of this is just influenced by diasporic communities?

Yeah… it’s not a secret.

But Chinese say we are closer to the US 🤷.
