SG PM always makes anti-China remarks but our STB tries to woo China tourists.

Poor turnout at Shanghai Disneyland for the golden week holiday in China.
Shanghai Disneyland is the first retail victim of the golden week holiday in China. The visitorship has dropped so much that it takes only an average of about 5-10mins to queue for every activity in Disneyland.
Why is this phenomenon happening so fast when Shanghai Disneyland had just opened a few months ago?
Is the pricing too high? It is a known fact that the price is about 20% cheaper than HK.
Is anti-American sentiment brewing in China that Chinese are avoiding the theme park?

China supporter: Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines
Indonesia is still a neutral party but I think Indonesia will be on China's side as it won't want to go against the other 2 Muslim countries.

Golden week holiday in China will show how China perceives SG.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/singapore-s-golden-week-courts-china-tourists-as-retail-falls
SG has started to prepare for the Golden Week holiday in China and is courting China tourists to come to SG. The SG retail result will be an indication how China perceives SG after our PM's anti-china remarks in USA and Japan. If there is a drop in retail sales from China tourists, it will likely indicate that anti-Singapore sentiment has taken root in China, just like what happened in Taiwan.
http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/singapore-envoy-refutes-china-report-south-china-sea
This article could be the harbinger for the anti-Singapore sentiment in China.
Recently, China caucus has been advising China communist party not to regard SG as Chinese and should treat SG as a normal sovereign without a Chinese root because SG has been making anti-China remarks. Once this anti-Singapore sentiment starts brewing in China, we cannot turn back the tide and our economy will suffer.
Nonetheless, let's hope for the best and monitor the retail sales figures.
