The economies of Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan constitute the so called Four Little Dragons. These nations have in common that they underwent a massive economic growth in the last decades, while their citizens achieved higher incomes, better education, and higher literacy rates. Furthermore, the media of the countries has evolved significantly. But especially the case of Singapore is worth to look at, in particular its media, which has been one of the most discussed topics concerning the Little Dragons.
