This is a big change: Singaporeans (who are traditionally more pro-West) now overwhelmingly favor China as a “strategic partner for security and survival” versus the US.
Half of the Singaporeans said they favor China, versus just 15% for the US.
Posted on South China Morning Post. Pretty obvious bias. If a Singaporean outlet would say the same thing, I would believe it, but I wouldn’t trust a Chinese journal (or an American).
You are right in general that SCMP is going to cheer on China, but MBFC is a stupid, question-begging, centrist website run by someone with no qualifications and spread around so centrists can use it as a “gotcha” in the style of an informal fallacy. I’m sure that others will have takedowns saved to share with you.
I think the article is good since it’s just dryly reporting on a survey from what I can tell, I just sympathize with being wary.
