This document, page 174 of a House Oversight Committee report (Appendix 2), details the history and methodology of Chinese influence operations in Singapore. It contrasts modern tactics (2016-17) involving social media and 'United Front' work with historical examples, specifically the 1971 revelation that a Hong Kong-based communist intelligence service funded the 'Eastern Sun' newspaper to shape public opinion. It also mentions diplomatic pressure exerted on Singapore in 2004 regarding Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's visit to Taiwan.
