Johor-Singapore crooked bridge to start in 2019

https://www.malaymail.com/s/1692809/mb-says-third-johor-singapore-bridge-to-start-2019

If construction of the new crooked bridge really starts next year, it will mean that the causeway on Malaysia side will be dismantled in the future and this will include the water pipes that link to SG.

What is SG government going to do about it?

China's overseas ports that will render Singapore port useless.

China has been preparing to bypass the Strait of Malacca and Singapore for many years because Singapore has a US naval port.  The purpose of establishing a US naval port in Singapore is to control the Strait of Malacca in times of conflict with China as this will stop any critical supplies shipping to China.

However, China has broken through this US-SG containment with some overseas ports near SG.

China's strategic ports that are used to bypass SG:

Myanmar port
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/11/china-and-myanmar-have-signed-port-deal.html

This port is primarily used to transport oil from the middle east to China as it has an oil pipeline that is connected to China.  However, it can also be used to transport essential goods if the Strait of Malacca is blocked by the US navy.

Pakistan port
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/11/china-gave-singapore-stern-warning-again.html

This port is primarily used to transport oil from the middle east to China because it has an oil pipeline that is connected to China.


Melaka Gateway
http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2018/07/malaysian-suspension-of-its-ecrl-will.html

This port is primarily used to replace SG port.  However, Malaysia has cancelled the ECRL which will render the Melaka Gateway useless.  Therefore, China will focus on Myanmar port now and this also explains the rationale behind the recent port agreement with Myanmar.

Cambodia port
https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2016/11/china-cambodia-port-is-going-to-start.html

This port can be easily turned into a China military port to provide logistic and supplies support to China navy in times of crisis.

Singapore must understand the predicament it is facing because we're being surrounded by China's strategic ports.  This predicament arose because we allowed the US navy and spy plane to be stationed in SG.  If we continue to be anti-China, China can skin us further by reducing our economic growth.

China and Myanmar have signed a port deal after years of negotiation.

This port is a very strategic port to China because China can bypass the strait of Malacca and Singapore.

China has managed to resolve the previous port conflict between Myanmar and China.

Huawei is working on its Kirin 990 chip now.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/huawei-testing-kirin-990-chip-may-debut-q1-080205772.html

After launching Huawei's kirin 980 chips, it has moved on to develop its kirin 990.

China firms are working hard to develop its own semiconductor industry to reduce its dependence on foreign chips makers.

As stated previously, the global semiconductor slowdown is permanent since the largest market is China.
