@RnaudBertrand I think a major aspect of the US' motivation stems from their difficulty controlling narratives, case-in-point, the Palestine genocide. Their concern isn't so much about "Chinese propaganda" or "security", but rather the challenges they're facing in pushing their own propaganda.

@MadnessWatcher Mid 2010s, when western media was pushing Islamophobia. Having grown up around Muslims, it was clear the allegations western media were making about the religion and its adherents were dishonest smears.

Our current elites seem to believe that western culture and westerners are "just superior", with no logical rationale.

@USAmbChina @NATO NATO's stated ambitions and coercive policies continue to challenge our interests, security and values. The escalating belligerence from NATO that attempts to prolong the imposition of the west-serving "rules-based" international order, are a cause for profound concern - The Rest

@dumplings_r_yum @VivianBala @govsingapore Hilarious how we all instinctively know that China won't react as nastily to our using US tech as the US would react to our using Chinese tech. Goes to show how the US is seen these days - petty, insecure and vindictive country.

@StevenGlinert @govsingapore @mediacorp @ChannelNewsAsia @Ng_Eng_Hen The promised pew survey results, all from recent surveys. They clearly show that Singaporeans do not think highly of the US system and have views that diverge significantly from western countries' and are more in line with regional views. Also, from things like how 22/?

@pakhead Just like the Zionists: provoke, then pull out the victim card - "we put BBC reporters on a boat, navigated right up in China's face, then when they swatted us away, we cried for the camera".

@Kanthan2030 It's hilarious how the Americans boast about actions that achieve nothing. We saw that with Yemen too - boasting about their 100 missiles that accomplished nothing. The American military seems to have become more performative than effective, much like American politics.

interest? @govsingapore and their supporters seem to think they can flip their narratives on a dime and not get called out. Feels like we're slowly descending into American style idiocracy, where leaders have no shame. 3/3

@MrJerryGoode The genocide allegations are so far-fetched that they've universally diminished the credibility of western media in China. The west just can't stop undermining their own interests. Have a great trip!
