i'm not sure what i did. victims of the bombing would take him to the local hospital and to nearby the shower. no group is claimed responsibility for the attack, but the official all the jump me out like may islam as is a conservative islam is spotty. i us the keys. it's lead to 1st of all, over the amount of hypocrisy, the i said it was behind attack. so i'm going to just call us linked to the potty. officials issued this warning. we condemn today's blast, and if in the future, tell me at work this should again be targeted. we will be free to have our own protect ourselves. our value on the cd elite is set. the bombing was intended to weaken the potty head of elections expected lights. it makes you insisting that the tax of this nature will not den that resolve to s next chinese make up about 75 percent of the single pores population constituting

the largest ethnic group in the multi racial country. that also includes malays and indians. and over the past decade badging has stepped up as its efforts to reach out to chinese single portions in a way that has drawn concern from the city states political establishment. notably, the chinese communist party has sought to build relationships with singapore and media, giving journalists special access in return for favorable coverage. you may remember the disappearance of chinese tennis star punch, white. she had accused a senior official in china of sexual assault as global concern about her wellbeing group and briefly re appeared speaking to singapore, a newspaper. we had hud softball. joining us is shabani matoney of the washington post. she published a major investigation examining the relationship between china and a single port,

and she's also co author of an upcoming book among the braves hope struggle and eggs out in the battle for hong kong in the future of global democracy. written along with timothy mclaughlin. shabani, let's look a bit more at media. we mentioned the newspaper, liam, how about, how does it's coverage appear to reflect beatings, point of view. yes, so to do this investigation, we basically compiled about 800 articles from softball, and you know, what, what we wanted to do was a very forensic examination of the coverage. and so we, we divided this by categories of topics that would be sensitive to, to china. or topics that, you know, being has such a kind of control the narrative for example, you know, the ongoing human rights abuses in john hong kong and the board marcus, the, you know, move in the taiwan and basically on, you know, all of these types of topics we found that itself, i was actually, you know,

more using the mainland sources. so ccp official sources. they were using pro, vision media and really not offering that much of a kind of val, it's a kind of point and these are the sensitive topics. and then last time that we also found that their opinion section actually had a number of um, ccp, you know, katia officials involved in actually propaganda writing these beds. but they would not be the identified. a such just simply identified as china is coming to this. and so what impact does something like that have on ethic, chinese and singapore? yes, so you know, the one really interesting thing that's been happening in, in recent years is that the ethic trinity is population single floor especially um, southern parts of it. older, older people specifically have to come more and more sort of over the probation in the views. you know, people have been posting on read it single,

which is very vibrant for him. saying that the parents, instead of being radical, i as you know i, i grew up in single pool. so i said friends told me that the parents, you know, were pretty kind of like neutral a political and suddenly become very, very straight to be provisioning. and you know, that was seen during coven, but some of them were even psych stream that they only wanted to take the final back, even though this simple government was really advising to take, you know, 5, so might interest the inventory of exceeds and so, you know, looking at the school media landscape, we're very interested to figure out like, where lot of this radicalization was coming from. a lot of it comes from you know, forwarded what's up messages from tv and so on. but so far as like a very trusted newspaper here, you know, a flagship like ship brought sheet of paper in the that the, the narratives will only being sort of backed up all sort of haunted by the coverage in cell phone, right? they wouldn't offer any kind of alternative view, they weren't offering that sort of kind of balance or kind of point. and then

that's, that's what i'll investigation. so how is this playing out politically? are singaporean officials worried? yeah, i mean, i think, i think that's a really, really interesting question. i think single has, has, you know, for so long have this policy of, of kind of neutrality that please don't make a 6 sides. you know, we have this very strong defense relationship with the us, but we also have this very strong uh, you know, and i work relationship in obvious cultural ties with china and i think for so long, i think it was also, you know, had to manage the fact that it is a majority ethnic chinese stayed within a very diverse se, asia, right? i mean, indeed, the whole founding story of single was that of multi ethnic, multi culturalism over sort of, um, you know, being a, you know, purchasing anyone when sort of ethnic group. so i think i think the same over in his sort of have to be very careful and dealing with this they, they, they don't seem to want to kind of upset bilateral relationships with china. but at

the same point, i think they, they realize that, you know, if too many singaporeans are really starting to subscribe to this narrative of, of this sort of, you know, trying to dream s. s a to promote advice. you can ping like that has a very sort of time. i think chinese sort of been true. but then i think they realize that the fabric of singapore itself could, could really be threaded. right. but, you know, it's, it's, it's been interesting to see how they have to kind of tool the line between, between that right, not setting china, but also not letting this get out of that. so really looking at southeast asia and is beatings, focus on single port, any different then it's activities elsewhere in the region. the actually, the interesting thing is that we found that, you know, sample was not really an isolated case here. i think, you know, in, in the least, you know, with that thing, chinese population have had given historical and long term sort of grievances that because of you know, very ethnic policies that the state has. you see more and more, i think trinity is also kind of subscribing will be they come in, you know, very,

very probation in their, in their view point in their will view. and that is also true in pockets of indonesia, thailand, to associates. we didn't look as closely, but it is, it is a regional story, right? i mean, china being the, the, the biggest neighbor here, us, china being sort of the defining issue. you know, of all time it has remained polarized a big part of a society ready to meet with you have people becoming more, most rare to me for us actually. and so i think this conversation right, is this to me, something that, that, that is very carefully managed by governments all across the region. but especially when it comes to the chinese community just because the presence, this is so, so launch rates. obviously she has home to 80 percent of ethics and use of the mainland china and taiwan, who come shabani, latan 8. thank you so much for joining us.
