But.. with a business delegation?

Where does #Singapore actually stand in the democracies' struggle against the rising forces of belligerent #imperialism?

It is a "business hub" alright, but an #autocracy dominated by a ruling elite from (currently) post-colonial #Chinese #diaspora, some of whom feel a strong pull of the ever more powerful #HanChinese "motherland".

From what I understand Singapore is trying to "play the field", for now, and see where the tide turns. Or worse.

Is it where democracies should be directing their investments though?

Then again, #Hongkong — the pearl of a CCP's banking colony — is *still* considered by some to be an acceptable place for #business by some very decent and ethical people...
