At least in HK you can still protest. In Singapore you’d be put into jail for public disturbance.

Singapore is still a democracy albeit a deeply flawed one.

If I was a professional cyberpunk I would still go for Hong Kong over Singapore.

This is definitely overblown.

There is official training program for government officials from China to Singapore. Probably inspired China's confident rejection of western government model and insist on strict top-down control.

But China's inspiration is from USA.

Everything, literally, everything is set to use USA as the inspirational counterpart. I mean, literally, everything. Name anything you can think of, I can tell a story how the daily life has the USA reference or influence.
