Fan Heng didn't stay in Hong Kong for long. On the first day, he inspected the epidemic area and visited the quarantined residents. The next day, he went to the hospital where SARS patients were treated. He encouraged the patients and medical staff and handed over the 20 million yuan special funds allocated by the central government to the people here to show support.

Then, Fan Heng met with senior officials from the SAR and other SAR officials, and talked about the issue of SARS prevention and control, as well as the response plan for the hit to Hong Kong's tourism industry this year.

The next afternoon, according to the original plan, Fan Heng was about to fly back to the capital on a special plane.

However, at this moment, something went wrong. The Beijing caller said that Fan Heng would need to stay in Hong Kong for another day or two and do something by the way.

"What's the matter?" Fan Wubing felt a little curious after hearing this.

Could it be that if a leader at the national level comes out, he also needs to do some private work? This is a bit difficult to agree with.

However, Fan Wubing was also very clear that Fan Heng's itinerary was suddenly changed, and there must be some problems here, but I just don't know what happened. It's impossible for someone to take advantage of his father's out and want to undermine him, right? Or is there any conspiracy that is brewing in secret?

But when you think about it, you feel it is unlikely. After all, this is an era of highly publicized information. The question of whether a national-level leader stays or not is not a trivial matter. Easy changes can easily lead to passiveness in politics and public opinion. It seems that this time there is indeed some inconvenience to tell others about the inside story.

Just as the father and son were hesitating secretly, the new information was passed on. It was not something else, but something went wrong in Singapore. Therefore, the senior management hoped that Fan Heng would stay in Hong Kong for two days temporarily to determine what the situation was in Singapore and then make plans.

"What's wrong with Singapore?" Fan Wubing was even more surprised, not knowing what the top leaders were doing.

Fan Heng sighed and said, "The wall is falling and everyone is pushing it. Now the country is facing the biggest trust crisis in recent years. Some friends who are unreliable are planning to turn against each other now."

Fan Wubing asked again, it turned out that it was because of the SARS epidemic in Beijing and the SARS epidemic broke out in many cities in China. Therefore, not only many Western countries have implemented emergency measures to deal with China, but even Singapore has jumped out and openly canceled the arrangements for Singapore Prime Minister Oh Zuo Tong to visit China, and adopted strict policies to restrict activities against Chinese people in the country.

Singapore has always been a confusing country, and this has been proven to be clear.

For some reasons, Fan Wubing had long seen through Singapore's ugly faces and saw through their wolfish ambitions.

Originally, the basic common sense of international relations is purely interest relations, no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, and only eternal interests. However, although many Chinese people have learned this basic common sense through various costs, they often leave a back door in their minds intentionally or unintentionally, look at Singapore differently, and have some feelings, almost treating it as a distant relative.

Many Chinese people have a vague feeling, thinking that Jews all over the world are towards Jews, and Chinese all over the world should also be towards Chinese. Singapore is a country dominated by Chinese, and it is not bordered by China and has no conflict of interests. In the past, China was extremely left-wing and exported revolution, which affected the relationship between the two countries. But now China does not engage in class struggle as the mainstay, and is committed to economic construction. Reform and opening up welcomes foreign investment. Singapore and China have the same language and the same language as China and use simplified Chinese characters. They should be familiar with both the West and China. They are naturally the beneficiary of China's reform and opening up and economic development. Therefore, they have always regarded Singapore as a friend without knowing it, and have always tolerated Singapore and given preferential treatment.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, the trade volume and investment volume of the two countries have increased significantly. Regardless of whether China has hired Singapore's leading figures as Chinese national policy consultants and selected the Wang-Ku meeting place on the cross-strait in Singapore, which has given Singapore enough face. In addition, it has suffered losses in the Southeast Asian financial crisis, insisted that the RMB will not depreciate, and helped Southeast Asian countries stabilize their currencies, thus directly helping Singapore at critical moments.

You should know that the financial industry is one of Singapore's pillar industries. China sacrifices itself to stabilize finance, and Singapore has the greatest benefits. What China has done for Singapore has surpassed the basic principle of never sacrificing its own interests for others in common sense of international relations, and treats Singapore as a friend.

So, how does Singapore treat China?

Singapore has long claimed that it wants to be the last country in Southeast Asia to establish diplomatic relations with China, and after the establishment of diplomatic relations, it will still maintain military cooperation with Taiwan, and do what it says.

Lee Kuan Yew and Oh Chol-dong kept talking about the world's biggest challenge. The stability of Asia in the future depends on how to deal with China's rise. Lee Kuan Yew also said that as a descendant of the Chinese, he knew that the Chinese had strong endurance, but at the same time he knew that the Chinese were also very explosive and very revengeful. The countries in East and Southeast Asia have offended China in history. Once China is strong, these countries will inevitably be violently revengeed by China, so China must always become a second-rate country.

Singapore has always advocated that the United States is an important balance force in Southeast Asia. After the US military withdrew from its Philippine base, Singapore immediately proposed that the US military could replenish supplies in Singapore. Now Singapore has become the only foothold of the US military in Southeast Asia.

Another thing is that China first proposed cooperation with ASEAN, and in order to balance China's strength, Singapore vigorously advocated cooperation with India and ASEAN. Originally, India had no foothold in Southeast Asia, and it was all forced into Singapore.

Singapore was the first country in Southeast Asia to conduct joint military exercises with India for two thousand years. At that time, India was still in a short period of isolation after the nuclear test, and major countries around the world treated them differently. However, after India's nuclear test, ASEAN not only did not condemn India's nuclear test, but instead gave acquiescent or support. Singapore played a great role in this. The first ASEAN country to visit after the nuclear test was Singapore.

In the process of establishing a free trade alliance between China and ASEAN, Singapore is always reminding ASEAN countries to be united and pay attention to themselves and China as competitors, etc.

It is common for Chinese to be discriminated against in Singapore. After Chinese female athletes were collectively insulted by the store owners for no reason when traveling to Singapore, Singapore newspapers and public opinion turned against the business principle of "customers are God" and "customers are always right", and they belittled and mocked the Chinese, defending the rogue store owner.

All of these happened before the SARS outbreak. It was something that happened when many Chinese people regarded Singapore as relatives and friends and stood up at critical moments to help people overcome difficulties. What did Singapore do when China was attacked by SARS?

Fan Heng said with a very uncomfortable expression, "Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok-dong responded to the call of the Washington Post to ban China and openly refused to visit China. The Lianhe Zaobao Forum said proudly that Goh Chok-dong's actions were praised and welcomed by Southeast Asian countries."

In addition, when Wu Zuotong was interviewed by the media, he publicly questioned China's ability to govern SARS, claiming that China will spend two to three years to manage SARS. During this period, foreign capital should withdraw from China and not put all eggs in one basket."

China participated in the ASEAN SARS Summit at the beginning, but Singapore suggested that this was ASEAN's own meeting and there was no need to invite others. After the meeting, Oh Zuo Tong also proudly promoted that the leaders of other ASEAN countries had to look at his attitude. He took the lead in rejecting China's suggestions, as if he was a hero of Southeast Asian countries.

The senior executives are now very angry because Singapore's actions are not simple and unfriendly or insignificant, but very vicious and intentional harm, and hostile actions that take advantage of others' dangers and attempt to kill China in one fell swoop.

Because the goal of these actions is to set off a new wave of global disasters, reblock China, completely destroy China's reform and opening up, and develop the economy, mobilize foreign capital to withdraw from China, and cause as much difficulty as possible to the Chinese economy. We also want to destroy the confidence of the Chinese people in the central government's resistance to disasters and governance, and make the central government's command fail, thus causing the general collapse of Chinese society like the former Soviet Union.

Today, when the situation in China has basically stabilized, some people can say that the above arguments are alarmist, a big deal, nonsense, etc.

But one thing is clear, precisely because Singapore is a country dominated by Chinese and because China has always regarded Singapore as a friend, in the eyes of many people, Singapore is more familiar with China's situation, more objective, less prejudiced, and more authoritative, so Singapore's attitude towards China has a greater impact on many countries' attitude towards China.

When disasters suddenly come and people are at a loss, a rumor is enough to kill people, just like a little turmoil during a stock market crisis is enough to collapse the stock market and make people with insufficient strength lose their entire family.

Similarly, not only did the epidemic suddenly break out, but many countries around the world have not yet achieved the right countermeasures and are undecided, Singapore takes the lead in blocking China, with its influence far exceeding usual and far exceeding its strength, and it has the stance of being up to ten thousand sentences.

It can be imagined that if the central government cannot make decisive measures to stabilize its position, if the Chinese people cannot unite and fight against the disaster and achieve results, if the Chinese people cannot control the critical situation through their own efforts, if the international community really thinks that China is already crumbling, there will definitely be a large group of speculators rushing to agree to Singapore's call, and then Singapore's goal of using the SARS crisis to destroy China in one fell swoop is really possible.

"At a critical moment, Singapore stabbed China in a critical place. This fact is true and unquestionable." Fan Heng frowned and said to his son Fan Wubing. "The top leaders are very angry now and are discussing countermeasures. On the one hand, I am sitting in Hong Kong to watch the situation changes, and on the other hand, I have to wait for the decision to come out to confirm whether to take further action."

In fact, many Chinese people never understand. Why does Singapore want to be a **? Where did China offend it?

"I'm afraid that the Indians in the Americas had similar doubts. Why did these white people kill Indians and not even surrender? Where did the Indians offend them? No wonder, the Indians probably don't understand what killing and robbing people mean." Fan Wubing thought about it and said, "This is the key point that the brains of people full of Eastern philosophy cannot understand the behavior of people who pursue Western philosophy. Do you think that if you don't offend, don't offend, and show kindness, the world should be peaceful? The real world doesn't like you!"

Southeast Asian countries have their own long history, traditions and cultures, with Singapore exceptions.

It was not originally a country, but only part of Malaya. It was kicked out by Malaya because of the relationship between the top Chinese. Although the majority of Chinese in Singapore are, Chinese who agree with the Chinese cultural tradition have always been at the bottom, and the country's ruling elites are all advanced Chinese who have received a full set of carefully educated schools in Britain and the West.

These people are the so-called banana people, with yellow skin and white hearts. Although they look like Chinese, they look down on Chinese culture and Chinese people the most. The most skilled one is to wag their tails at white people and stare at Chinese people.

Therefore, although most Chinese in Singapore are Chinese, the mainstream idea is to cross the East and the East, incongruent, and incongruent. As a result, the place not only has no resources, but also has no history, tradition, and cultural characteristics. It is an artificial hybrid freak.

Freaks are freaks, but they have inherited the spiritual superiority of the British Empire in spirit. They never forget that they were once the largest military base controlled by the British Empire.

Although we had to be respectful to white people at that time, we could look down on all the natives of Asian countries. What a glory it was.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The British Empire declined and the scenery of Singapore also ran away, and we had to make another way to make a living.

Before China's economy rose, Singapore was without tigers in the mountains, and monkeys were called kings. The finance industry, export processing industry, tourism industry, and shipping industry were all on the rise and became a small dragon in Asia. Life was quite glorious. But with the rapid rise of China's economy, Singapore's talent was no longer effective.

Singapore also has countermeasures for this. The Temasek Consortium has quietly penetrated into all aspects of the Fengguo mainland for decades, especially among financial institutions like CICC, which also has a large proportion of their shares.
