How can President Xi forget to invite PM Lee to 3rd BRI in Beijing the 2nd X ?

What does that mean?

[Scythian]

.
It seems our PM Lee got more important biz in middle East . That's why Singapore turned down Xi's invitation to BRI.

Australia very big with undeveloped ports. Quick grab a seat in BRI meeting.

BRI is more for those who need China's financial support to invest in their country.
Singapore I do not think we need China at least for financial support.

EU and middle East are not poor

Singaporeans must be feeling hurt deep inside.

So painful that Singapore not among 140 world's leaders.

You are not born yesterday, so, please stop pretending it's ok.

140 world's leaders invited except Singapore .

Why 140 countries incl EU and Middle East need China not Singapore?

Think

[Scythian]

.
How can 140 country leaders be totally wrong except Singapore is right?

Honestly, Where's the logic?

Those invited wishing for China's investment. 
SG is the opposite, we invested in China...

Australia needs China $, you better go.

[Fit]

Has Singapore been invited or not?

[Scythian]

Has Singapore been invited or not?

No answer

Guessing only

[Scythian]

.
Honestly, President Xi truly loves PM Lee vm but unfortunately,  PM Lee incharged only 710 km2 island..

Xi has been very supportive of Singapore policies in the region.

[sclim]

bri is both good and bad for the target country.
good no need to say too many talk talk already.

bad side. in a way china is taking part of the benefits of infrastructure development from the targeted country.
example a bridge may be partially building china then transported to be assemble by chinese company employing a mix of chinese and local. if those country has developed it wholely themself then they enjoy the full benefits of the infra buildings.

but then they have no money to start with. so maybe not so bad.

2nd BRI 2019

Suspicious it was done with deliberate intention

[Scythian]

"Differing perspectives on the South China Sea territorial disputes, the nature of Singapore–US ties and Singapore’s unilateral military training in Taiwan have made Singapore a target for popular and sometimes official criticism in China. Beijing apparently snubbed Singapore by not inviting its prime minister to the inaugural Belt and Road Forum.

 China also consistently warns Singapore ‘not to take sides’ when it articulates positions that depart from China’s, even when such statements simply reflect Singapore’s own interests. This suggests China’s preference for silence from Singapore on key issues."
