SG has a different approach from HK.
No point saying SG is better than HK or gloating over other people's misfortune in HK.
SG has no choice but to open up or else our economy dies.
It is not because OYK is the only wise man. Credit must go to the whole team.
HK also has no choice because it has to obey Beijing's dictates on policy to deal with Covid.
In China, a Ø Covid policy is wishful thinking.
Common sense tells you this is not possible with a 1.4 Billion population and 22,117km land border.
As has happened in the 1950's Great Leap Forward, local provincial officials dare not report the truth.
If they did tell Beijing the truth, they may be sacked.
Thus everyone continues to take part in the pretense. (that they have Ø Covid)
China's Sinovac seems not as effective as Pfizer.
Those vaccinated with Pfizer do get Omicron, but they do not die or have very serious complications.
China (and thus HK) has to slowly morph their no compromise Ø Covid doctrine; into what SG is practicing.
Without Losing Face.
Maybe LHL and OYK can offer some cooperation. Since China is a big trading partner.
But SG has to do this without offending Uncle Sam. In case Biden gets angry why is SG so nice to China.
