Paraphrasing (8th paragraph)
Text
Yet in recent years, Singapore has struggled to maintain high levels of trade, foreign investment, and portfolio investment, which help support its globalization lead. The Asian flu is partly to blame, since the financial crisis undermined the entire region’s economic performance. But Singapore’s slow progress in privatizing state industries, its failure to win endorsement for a regional free-trade agreement, and its tight controls over Internet development have also slowed its integration with other countries.
The main idea of the paragraph
Singapore’s slow progress in privatizing state industries, its failure to win endorsement for a regional free-trade agreement, and its tight control over internet development, in addition to Asia’s financial crisis, have slowed its integration with other countries.
新加坡对国有产业实行私有化的缓慢进程、它未能赢得（东盟其他国家）对地区自由贸易协定的支持以及它对互联网发展的严密控制，再加上亚洲金融危机，延缓了它和其他国家的融合进程。
