Key Takeaway: China has officially overtaken the United States in 2025 to become Singapore’s largest source of fixed asset investment.
According to Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) data released in February 2026, China accounted for 20.6% of total fixed asset investment commitments, surpassing the United States at 17.3%. This marks a significant shift from 2024, when the US held a dominant 55.5% share.

Mr. Lee Hsien Loong is a Chinese proxy.
lol if you look at Lee Kuan Yew’s last book, published in 2015, he said to Xi « soon, we will be the ones going to China to learn from you ». Xi protested of course, but former PM LKY once again predicted the future.
SG wants to be uncle sam's altar girls what is wrong with that.
Don't make yourself dependent from any superpowers. Or they will grind you to dust in between them.
Also more toxic food are coming into Singapore
Who cares what Singapore's terms are! The country is miniscule with little or no economic or political clout. It's almost nonexistent as far as China is concerned. 😂
Own terms😅😅 does china care🤪
The presence of established companies like PSA and Comfortdelgro operating in Guangxi, particularly Nanning, is clear evidence that the region is no longer peripheral but has developed into a viable and integrated node in regional business networks
As a 6th-generation Chinese Singaporean, I identify more naturally with the mainland Chinese arrivals than, say, even the local kehlengs, let alone or never mind those CECA aliens. More importantly, let's put aside political correctness for a moment and call a spade a spade: SG is successful primarily due to our ethnic Chinese majority. Because of geopolitical realities, SG is fond of placing vocal Indian leaders on the frontline to mask our majority ethnic Chinese composition. But when the real crunch comes e.g. Covid pandemic, who do we fall back on? Only the really capable and trustworthy ones step up to the plate like Lawrence Wong, Ong Ye Kung, Chan Chun Sing etc. On the other hand, consider a hypothetical leadership comprising only the likes of Tharman, Iswaran, Vivian Balakrishnan, Janil Puthucherry, Shanmugam, Pritam Singh. What happens? You get such impressive speeches in Parliament and in the media so that the average SG IQ might seem to hit the roof at 140. But then, in a period of crisis or even in peaceful times, SG collapses irreversibly in 2 weeks' time!
😅
