Well, when SG allows China naval vessels and subs to berth at our port, it shows that Sino-SG relationship is going well.
Just look at Malaysia. PM Najib was in USA but China sub was berthing at Malaysia port.

Trump's speech at UN received some heavy criticism.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41327130
Swedish FM remark was a direct slap at Trump - Wrong speech, wrong time & wrong audience! In other words, Swedish FM was saying Trump was spewing nonsense at the UN summit.
Trump had made a mockery of himself in the world with this speech. His speech is more likely to create ramification than to garner good unison.
China has also expressed a peaceful resolution on the NK issue which is an exact opposite of what Trump is doing. Trump is trying to set the motion of war against NK but he is doomed to fail.

Blah Blah Blah! That's what Trump is good at but nothing gets done.

NATO is the essence of Trump's speech. This NATO is No Action, Talk Only.
There is no way for Trump to destroy NK totally without China & Russia approvals. This is a fact and China & Russia have veto powers in UN. NK is not Iraq whereby the USA can attack NK unilaterally. China & Russia won't allow it.

Hot news! USA and Taiwan are in cahoots to topple the Cambodian government.
http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/hun-sen-hits-us-foreign-policy
This is the usual mode of operandi whenever the local government is not the USA ally. The USA knew that Hun was wary of USA operatives in Cambodia. Therefore, the USA asked Taiwan to do this on behalf of the USA. However, the Taiwan businessmen were taken aback by the Cambodian media outburst.
The Taiwan businessmen were so afraid of being implicated in this matter that they published in the mainstream newspaper for 3 days that they were not involved in this "regime change".
In the end, the Taiwan government was forced to come forth to deny any involvement in toppling the Cambodian government.
http://focustaiwan.tw/news/aipl/201709190008.aspx
Cambodian Hun was just issuing a subtle warning to Taiwan through the media not to help the USA to topple the government and nobody was arrested in this episode. Hun would have arrested those involved in the "regime change" if he didn't want to give Taiwan a chance to back off. Hun was willing to give Taiwan a chance because he recognised the one-China policy. Let's not forget Hun was a hard-handed man in the past.

The real threat to global trade!
http://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2111759/trumps-trade-chief-says-china-threat-global-trading
The USA is back again with a smearing campaign against China by labelling China as an unprecedented threat. However, the real threat to the global trade is the USA because of its protectionism and anti-globalization policies. The USA even tries to supersede WTO rules with its own 301 trade law.
Just look at how Germany & BRICS condemned the USA.

China President Xi Jinping will be having a final showdown with Jiang Zemin soon.
The most corrupted person, Yang XiuZhu, was on a run for 13 years before she requested in the USA to return to China to face trial. This was something puzzling and uncanny because she would be facing a death sentence in China under the corruption and bribery charges.
She was in custody for a long time before she was given a trial recently. Why did she request to face trial in China after being on the run for 13 years? We'll come to this in a moment.
Meanwhile, President Xi had just completed his military revamp recently by replacing all the top honchos including the chief of general staff. President Xi had managed to replace all the Jiang's henchmen in the military. Therefore, he has total control of the military now and he can have a final showdown with Jiang Zemin. Jiang is currently under house arrest in China.
The withholdment of Yang's sentence was bewildering because it was a corruption case proven beyond reasonable doubt. It was speculated that Yang was willing to return to China to face trial because President Xi promised to pardon her death sentence in exchange for her to become a tainted witness to testify against Jiang Zemin. We also believe this to be true because nobody would be so foolish to return to face a death sentence in China especially when she was no longer in China anymore.

Singapore NODX jumps significantly in August with 17% year on year growth.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/singapore-s-exports-jump-17-in-fourth-straight-month-of-growth-9225588
Singapore is a country which relies heavily on international trading and our economic growth also depends significantly on net exports.
China is our largest export nation now and will impact SG's economic growth since we cannot find another market to replace China.
Does it make sense to offend our largest trading partner for the political interest of another nation (USA)?
Asia will get more and more affected by China, whether we like it or not. The USA doesn't care about Asia except for its own political interest. I hope our government will make the right choice.

The USA is just setting the motion for a war against North Korea.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/north-korea-will-destroyed-reckless-behaviour-continues-us-ambassador-warns-090000879.html
The USA already knew that sanctions won't work on NK but still insisted on sanctions because it would give the USA the excuse to wage a war against NK after all the available avenues had been exhausted. However, it's a wishful thinking because China & Russia won't allow a war at their doorsteps. Having a war near China & Russia means that China & Russia will have to deal with millions of refugees and also the USA influences on the Korean peninsula after the war. This kind of situation is something China & Russia don't want to see and they'll definitely get involved in the war.

Will PM Lee flip-flop on Sino-SG relationship when he visits USA after China?
http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/singapore-china-relations-will-continue-advancing-with-the-times-says-pm-lee
It is gladdening to see that our PM Lee is making pro-China remarks. However, I hope that he won't make anti-China remarks later when he visits USA.
It is despicable in the eyes of the public to see our leader making flip-flop statements in different countries. When there is no unison in our political stance, there won't be any credibility and trust in our nation. This won't bode well for SG in the future as no country will trust SG.

President Halimah is here to divide or unite Singaporeans?
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-singapore-protest/singaporeans-protest-against-uncontested-presidential-election-idUSKCN1BR0I3?il=0
It's sad to see that Singaporeans protest against our Malay reserved President. This shows that she doesn't have the mandate of the people and has become a controversial president.
However, this was what 70% of Singaporeans wanted in the last GE. Singaporeans wanted to have a one-party system and this was the repercussion we needed to accept.
We have to repent and accept the inevitable outcome.

China plans to cut oil demand by 10% in 2020.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-biofuels/china-sets-2020-target-for-nationwide-ethanol-use-to-cut-corn-stocks-idUSKCN1BO03R
China will impose ethanol use to reduce oil demand in 2020. This will definitely impact the oil and corn prices in the future. However, this will be a good news for the environment.
