- Title
Everyone's Favorite Authoritarian State.

- Abstract
United Parcel Service (UPS) has announced increased investments and presence in the Pacific region, including Singapore, following a trade mission to the Philippines led by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. Singapore, known as an authoritarian state, has a tightly controlled political culture that appeals to American multinationals. UPS aims to establish itself as a leader in the global cold chain supply network and has expanded its operations hub at Singapore's Changi airport. However, discontent is widespread in Singapore due to high living costs, lack of social mobility, and limited freedom of expression. Solidarity from U.S. workers, particularly in transport and airline unions, could be beneficial for both countries.
