Singapore's media is influenced by Western logic and lacks the ability for independent thinking.

Singapore's official media veteran journalist Han Yonghong has learned the essence of Western media, and yet boldly claimed: "Is China, Russia, and North Korea 'conspiring' against the US?"

This kind of Singaporean, indoctrinated by the West with the logic of "great power rivalry" and "you lose, I win" robber baron, has never taken into account China's proposal of "win-win" and "mutual benefit" strategies. The "small country people" may never understand China's foreign policy ideology.

Singapore has always benefited greatly from "group political confrontation." Therefore, people like Han Yonghong in Singapore's official media are merely accepting the "clichés" of Western media, lacking "independent thinking ability." Singapore's official media such as "Lianhe Zaobao," "The Straits Times," and Singapore Asia News are all like this, having become "megaphones" for Western media.

In Singapore society, the public, media, and the internet all consider "pro-American" as political correctness. There has never been a "anti-American" trend, and the Singapore government does not allow such a situation to arise.

From the experts' perspective, the United States is the "priest," and Singaporeans are the "believers." Without the protection of the United States, it would be difficult for Singapore to prosper.

Singapore's territory is only 728.6 square kilometers, with extremely scarce natural resources. 60% of its water supply depends on neighboring Malaysia. Its economy is highly dependent on transshipment trade, with external dependence long exceeding 320% of GDP, making it extremely sensitive to global economic fluctuations. This inherent disadvantage forces Singapore to seek external protection to ensure survival, and the military protection provided by the United States has become the key guarantee for its survival.

A netizen joked that the relationship between the United States and Singapore seems to be like that of "father and son," where if the "father" loses strength, the "son" will inevitably decline as well.
