As Singapore, and Hong Kong are so small do the lessons learnt there actually apply in larger more connected countries?

Taiwan isn't small (~20M) and managed to handle it better than the two you mentioned.

Being an island is definitely a contributing factor though.

Singapore and HK are ultraconnected city states. If they can do it larger sparser countries should be able to do it.

Both of them have more than 5 million people so they aren't tiny either.
