  1. No...they had blackouts even before. They have had trouble keeping up with demand locally for a few decades now. Not just coal or whatever but the grid itself. They need a LOT of energy for Industry

  2. Singapore is for Singapore. Has always been that way. It is friendly to both US and China. US Carriers and destroyers are often there for supplies and repairs but Singapore would also open up their deep water port for China if it asks. Singapore is about straight forward business so as to survive as a very small (but Rich) country in a not so nice neighborhood, although much nicer in the last couple decades

  3. How did it "bite them"? It didnt. Thats a false narrative peddled by some right wing Aussies. The ONLY thing that they needed from Australia has been Iron ore, while they ramp up production and imports elsehere. But for Ore, Australia cannot afford to not sell as well. India is not even close to making up any sudden Chinese fall in demand

  13. Nope. Australian coal was never used to generate electricity in China. It was used to make steel

  14. they only suffered outages breifly due to massive heatwaves, especially in Sichuan. Power plants in China generally do not use Australian coal, which is used in the steel making industry

  15. Whats does "playing nice" mean? Becoming a US vassal? ain't gonna happen

  16. No...in most countries where Chinese have settled down (South East Asia for example), most leave politics to the ruling class. This goes back to ancient times. The mandate of heaven thing.  @christophertobin5696

  17. China's nuclear infrastruture is one of the most, if not the safest in the world on track record @danz1182

  18. "Picking sides" is an american concept in todays world. China is friendly to all Middle Eastern countries despite great animosity between some of those countries

  19. The biggest and nastiest "tribe" is that of Anglo-saxons globally

  20. China's ground transportation network is mostly electrified

  21. Maybe some in the ruling party (most of whom were educated in either Singapore or US) are totally pro US...but no, most of the populace will not fight China on behalf of the US. And I am not just talking about the 70+% ethnic Chinese, but the ethnic Indians and Malays as well  @danz1182

  22. Having said that, Singapore has been a partner (not ally) of the US for many decades, especially when China was hard core communist (which they are just nominally today). It has a formidable military for its size, complete with f15, f16, f35, Lafayette Frigates, lots of missiles etc etc and all high tech stuff. Singapore has been steadfast in its dealings with the West, Japan etc. No monkey business and abrupt changes in governance. No abitrary harassment of western companies, of which there are 10s of thousands on the tiny Island. No colonial hangover....just business and principles. Worked out ok but now lots of people are complaining about having been left behind in this very expensive city and are in no mood to play geopolitics  @danz1182

  23. Wrong..a Pew survey taken just in 2022 showed only Singapore and Malaysia among dozens of countries worlwide as having good sentiments increased substantially towards China...to 67% in Singapore's case. @Defective1313

  24. You havent kept up to date. The air quality in China has improved tremendously in the last decade. It is at the forefront of envoronmental cleanup (air, waterways, forests) and the use of tech for new energy @chrisjackson1215

  25.  @sulblazer  what you fail to realize is often times, the US itself and its Zionist buddies are the ones CREATING the problems to begin with and before that... It was the Brits. Also, look at the many borders the west created in the last century. All over the world, not just in the middle east. Many are artificially demarcated, splitting peoples. Finally, Houthis have not attacked any Chinese vessels or those bound for China. They have no plans to deliberately target Chinese assets. In fact, some western companies tried to pass off their ships as Chinese in the Red Sea.

  26. Because its the 2nd largest economy in the world? Largest auto market in the world? largest consumer of many, many commodities? Because only relatively few factories and mostly lower end ones are "moving"? Because China is a very large chemicals producer and importer? Because China spends over 200B a year on it military? Many, many reasons. The world does not revolve around the US @mmmbop860
