> Animus between China and US is a recent thing, like post 2015.

Are people this dumb and ignorant? Animus between China and the US dates back centuries to the opium wars of the early 1800s. And animus between China and the US has been the norm ever since. Your comment was flat earthers stupid. Crack open a history before commenting.

Learn how to read context before sperging out lol. Nixon visited China just a few years after Singapore became independent. And US companies then invested tons of money in China, built factories, trade relations, etc etc. Post 2015 is when animosity starts and now US is encouraging divestment from China.

> Learn how to read context before sperging out lol.

I did. That's why I quoted your entire comment in my response : "Animus between China and US is a recent thing, like post 2015."

> Nixon visited China just a few years after Singapore became independent.

You mean the anti-china warhawk nixon who made his name railing against china in the 50s and 60s? Are you talking about that nixon?

> Post 2015 is when animosity starts and now US is encouraging divestment from China.

Except US investment in china INCREASED under trump... Also how stupid do you have to be to bring nixon into this and claim the animus started post 2015?

You are still ignoring context (which includes the comment thread and topic being discussed, not simply my own comment in isolation; that's what context means) and sperging out. Singapore developed during a time where US-China relations were friendly. The current animosity is recent (post 2015) and previous animosities are pre-Singapore independence, so who cares.

> Singapore developed during a time where US-China relations were friendly.

There was never a time when US-China relations were friendly. You sound like the morons that believed US-Russia relations were friendly because Bush said he looked into Putin's eyes and saw a good man.

> The current animosity is recent (post 2015) and previous animosities are pre-Singapore independence

More moronic nonsense. The 'current animosity' dates back to obama's administration ( pre-2015 and post singapore independence ) when the state decided to focus on containing china. I know you are a moron that knows nothing, but Trump just piggybacked on obama's policy.

As I said, why do morons like you comment authoritatively when you know absolutely nothing?
