Singapore government doesn't know how to bring Singapore forward.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/comment-hidden-harsh-truth-in-future-economy-committees-report-063644246.html
Our ministers don't know how to bring Singapore forward but still want to demand high salaries in the name of corruption avoidance. When I look at the report, I know our future is sealed because our ministers cannot think independently and need to have constant public consultations.
In the private sector, you will always be hired based on what you know and not what you don't know. However, this is not the practice in the public sector. This is why we have medical doctors in charge of engineering and military which won't happen in the private sector. For example, you will never find a medical doctor at the helm of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.
Anyway, 70% of Singaporeans decided to have this kind of system in place. Therefore, we'll just enjoy the remaining aggregate fruit of success while it still lasts. Good luck to us all!

The ones that will make big bucks are Trump's cronies as Trump can dictate where the stock markets will go. His cronies can just buy or short the stock markets before Trump announces his policies or tweets.

Trump is such a hypocrite!
Trump wrote a letter to China to wish all the Chinese a happy CNY and also wanted to develop a constructive relationship with China. Conversely, he continued to stir up troubles in South China Sea with US spy plane.

USA will have to issue more debts to cover money lost in tax receipts.
Trump is proposing a 20% corporate tax which will reduce the tax receipts significantly as the current tax ceiling is 35%.
Therefore, USA has to issue more bonds to cover the money lost from lesser tax receipts. All in all, interest rates will climb.

Trump has thrown in the towel and will standby the one china policy.

Trump cannot resist the internal political pressures to accept the one-China policy. This is Trump first policy defeat and there will be more to come. Nonetheless, this is a great news for the world.

Whether Trump can carry out his policies or not will be the real question! Just look at the travel ban that is suspended by the court.

This will cause hyperinflation across the globe because of the punitive tariffs.
USA will have more to lose than China because China has more ammunitions than USA. USA has more investments in China than China investments in USA. Hyperinflation will hit USA first and USA has to raise interest rate in March 2017.

China can bypass Asean to trade with Europe now.

The one-belt-one-road initiative has enabled China to transports goods to Europe and vice versa without passing through Asean because of the new sea and land routes.

China has proof that its proclamation in South China sea is valid.
http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0208/c90000-9175389.html
The proof was in 1946 when USA sent its navy to accompany China to retake the islands in South China sea.
