This article was written to talk about China and Singapore economies and their relatedness. China did recently disagree with boarders in the South China Sea with Singapore. Also, China has has plans in which there would be a current day Silk Road to Europe that would help develop Southeast Asia. Singapore does have a risk of missing out despite their economic relations with China because China sees Singapore as disapproving of this plan.
I feel that Singapore would benefit just as greatly if there was a Silk Road program placed within the country. I also feel that China is being biased towards Singapore by not giving them a chance to say their views and just assuming what they would say.
This shows the political context that Singapore shares with other East and Southeast Asian countries because it shows its relations with those countries. The article highlights that one of these was its previous stronger ties with China. This deal, if placed, would create stronger ties with other countries.
