Now Singapore really can't sit still! Why? Because the Chinese are gradually breaking their decades-long golden bowl!\nRecently, Singapore has been a bit restless; this isn't just a wild guess. The 'golden bowl' that it has held for decades is being slowly 'pried' by us Chinese.\nSome may wonder, Singapore is a tiny place with no minerals or arable land, so how can it be the richest in Southeast Asia?\nIn 2023, Singapore's GDP rarely declined by $2.953 billion, and its per capita GDP experienced negative growth for the first time in three years. The rebound in 2024 relies solely on a partial boost from high-end manufacturing—this city-state, which once relied on the tolls from the Malacca Strait, multinational companies' OEM production, and offshore financial centers to stabilize its golden bowl, is now facing comprehensive industrial substitution from China.\nThe story begins with the 'maritime expressway.' The Malacca Strait sees 140,000 vessels passing through each year, with 80% of China's oil imports passing through here. Singapore not only collects transit fees but also enjoys the entire industrial chain's attraction effect: ship repairs, fuel supply, and cargo transshipment have even fostered the world's third-largest refining center and Southeast Asia's largest shipyard.\nHowever, by 2025, cargo volume through the Arctic route will exceed 40 million tons, and the China-Europe Railway Express has cumulatively operated 110,000 trains, with the rail transport time from Chongqing to Duisburg compressed to 16 days—when ships from Shanghai to Rotterdam can save 22 days by taking the Arctic route and save $3 million in fuel costs per trip, the 'toll booth' of Malacca is becoming an alternative option.\nEven more critically, Gwadar Port, a deep-water port in southwestern Pakistan, will reach a throughput of 547,000 tons by 2025. With the opening of the supporting Wakhan Corridor, Central Asian copper mines will connect directly to the sea, eliminating the 3,000-kilometer sea route for Singapore.\nThe foundation of manufacturing is also loosening. Singapore's electronics industry once accounted for over 40% of manufacturing, with 60 semiconductor companies contributing 7% of GDP. TSMC and Micron's wafer factories supported the title of 'Silicon Island of Asia.'\nHowever, the improvement of China's semiconductor industry chain is rewriting the rules of the game: SMIC's 28nm process has entered mass production, Yangtze Memory has broken through 128-layer 3D NAND, and the chip industrial park in Shanghai Lingang is attracting GlobalFoundries and Infineon to set up factories.\nData from 2024 shows that in Southeast Asia, the proportion of foreign investment in manufacturing flowing to China is 17 percentage points higher than that to Singapore—when multinational companies find that the Pearl River Delta can complete precision manufacturing and radiate to a domestic market of 1.4 billion, why squeeze onto Singapore's 728 square kilometers island?\nThe halo of the financial center is also fading. Singapore was once the world's third-largest offshore RMB market, managing an asset management scale of 26 trillion Singapore dollars.\nHowever, in 2023, Shanghai's free trade zone RMB cross-border payment system covered 92 countries, and infrastructure financing for the China-Laos Railway and the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway is increasingly led by Chinese banks. Even Singapore's own Temasek is increasing investments in Chinese new energy and AI companies.\nMore straightforwardly, there is tax competition: China's 15% corporate tax introduced in 2024 for Hainan Free Trade Port directly attracted 12 Singapore-listed companies to set up regional headquarters, while Singapore's proud 0% capital gains tax is gradually becoming ineffective in the face of the industrial chain shift.\nWhat makes Singapore most uneasy is that China is replicating its successful logic of 'small country, big city.' The Suzhou Industrial Park has evolved over 30 years, from electronic OEM to nanotechnology, with GDP exceeding 340 billion yuan; the cross-border financial innovations in Shenzhen Qianhai have quadrupled offshore RMB settlement volumes in three years; even the ability to reclaim land from the sea, China's dredging fleet has an annual operating volume 23 times that of Singapore.\nAs the feasibility study for the Kra Canal heats up again—if this canal crossing Thailand's Kra Isthmus is built, 100,000-ton cargo ships could shorten their journey by 1,200 kilometers, and the throughput of Singapore port's 37 million standard containers will directly face diversion risks.\nAnd Thailand's decision in 2025 to announce that 60% of official cargo will be diverted to Gwadar Port is just the first domino in a chain reaction.\nThis quiet replacement is essentially a redistribution of the globalization dividend. In the past, Singapore relied on its role as a 'middleman' to reap geopolitical benefits: the ports left by British colonizers, the Southeast Asian pivot contested by the US and the USSR during the Cold War, and the foreign investment springboard during China's reform and opening up.\nHowever, as China becomes the largest trading partner of over 120 countries, and as the industrial clusters under the 'dual circulation' strategy bring their own flow, Singapore's 'transshipment economy' suddenly loses the soil it relied on.\nData from 2024 shows that the reinvestment rate of foreign enterprises in Singapore's manufacturing sector has dropped to its lowest in 12 years, while foreign investment in high-end manufacturing attracted to China has increased by 28%—this is not just simple competition but an inevitable shift in the center of the industrial chain.\nNow, Singapore resembles Hong Kong 20 years ago. When Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei can buy 90% of the world's electronic components, and when Hengqin's cross-border financial pilot is more flexible than Hong Kong Island, the once 'super connectors' suddenly find that they are no longer the irreplaceable bridge.\nThe difference is that Singapore has an even narrower retreat: 90% of agriculture relies on imports, 50% of freshwater depends on Malaysia, and even the sand and gravel for land reclamation must be imported from Indonesia.\nAs China weaves a new global network with infrastructure, technology, and trade, this city-state that once relied on 'straws' to absorb global resources is experiencing the painful loosening of the straw. And all of this has just begun.

J.P. Morgan and BlackRock are secretly making big moves! Your Bitcoin halving wealth may have already been priced!

Crypto friends, something big has happened! I just came across some explosive news that almost made my phone drop—J.P. Morgan and BlackRock, the two top figures on Wall Street, have quietly issued a structured product specifically pegged to the Bitcoin halving cycle! In simple terms, they have packaged a Bitcoin ETF into a four-year 'financial package' that claims to guarantee a 16% return, and even if it drops, you won't immediately incur losses; they can defer the accounting until 2028!

Doesn't that sound incredibly generous? But let me tell you, this situation is deeply concerning! This is not about providing warmth to retail investors; this is institutions calculating the timing to harvest us 'cycle believers'! They know we believe in halving and bull markets, so they design a product that makes you willingly lock up your assets for four years. If you profit, they collect management fees; if you lose, you bear the burden. That so-called '30% downside protection' is just a line drawn to keep you from running away, right? During these four years, you can't move amidst the wild ups and downs—this is called 'protection'? This is called 'kidnapping'!

Think about it, people who jumped in at the peak of the last bull market took three years to break even. This time, they are making you gamble until 2028, during which policies, black swans, and institutional sell-offs—aren't any of these sharp knives? They have figured out that we retail investors 'want to earn but are afraid of losing,' using 'capital preservation and high returns' as bait, when in fact they are trading your time and opportunity cost for their stable management fees!

Don't be fooled by the institutions' sugar-coated shells. The true value of Bitcoin is freedom and transparency, not being packaged into complex products to harvest us again. If you haven't even figured out candlestick charts and position management, what makes you think you can outplay the top actuaries of J.P. Morgan?

There’s a saying: In the market, what is visible is profit, and what is invisible is the game rules. When you think you've found a bargain, it's best to check if your wallet is still there.
Follow me for insights; I will tell you how to use 'institutional thinking' to fight back during the halving cycle! #加密市场反弹 $ETH
