What are Singaporeans' views toward China and its leadership according to recent research?

According to the Pew Research Center findings from June 2024, Singaporeans hold exceptionally positive views toward China, with 67% expressing a favorable opinion. Additionally, 63% of Singaporeans have confidence in Xi Jinping's leadership, which is significantly higher than in any other developed country. These strong positive sentiments exist alongside substantial economic ties, with approximately $156 billion invested in Singapore from mainland China and Hong Kong. However, this amount is still second to an even larger investment of $428 billion from another source. This economic relationship likely contributes to the notably favorable perceptions of China among Singaporeans.
