Why doesn't Singapore sever all types of connections with Communist China and embrace America's Freedom Agenda against Chinese Communism?

Joseph Wang's answer:

Because a lot of the policies that Xi Jinping are using in China were copied from Singapore. Singapore is a example that you don’t have to go liberal democracy to run a place.

Also Singapore is the absolute last place in the world that would be interested in a “freedom agenda”. I find the Singapore laws to be short and amusing, your typical law in Singapore is

1. The government can do whatever it damn wants
2. If you disagree with the government see 1)

And it all works.

Also America’s “freedom agenda” makes no sense to me.

Part of freedom includes “freedom from fear”, and when mobs of people waving American flags are vandalizing shops and beating people up, what “freedom” is that?

Yes, I’m kind of annoyed that the government is forcing me to wear a mask in public but in exchange for losing that freedom, I’m getting the freedom to shop and eat at a restaurant without worrying about dying.
