Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong:Chinese singaporean made huge compromises such as accepting English as the official language of the state

[Song Hong]

Singapore is a young nation, too early to tell if our system is resilient enough to continue its success.
Racial harmony is a requisite, else we go the Sri Lankan way.

Not surprising you do not see racism in Singapore, we consciously avoid it like the plague, but of course not 100%.
Minorities in Singapore, and similarly China, that don't have this economic competitive culture, are given many freebies and benefits over the main population, so they don't lag behind and create much dissatisfaction.

So favoritism is more for our minorities, mainly the Malays.
3 of our 8 Presidents are Indians serving a total of 20+ years in 58 years of Independence, with the current President being half Indian, although Indians are only 7.5% of our population.

The minorities do suffer some inconvenience such as less areas serving their specific foods and TV programs(negated by Internet TV).

Sacrifices are mainly made by the majority Chinese to create a harmonious society to enjoy peace and prosperity, as per what is said by our PM.

Some of us may criticize China or be brainwashed by incessant China Hate propaganda, but most of us have kilt and kin in China.
It must be really DUMB when China Haters fail to understand when ethnic Chinese feel proud too for the achievements of the land of their ancestors.

Haha, in Singapore, minority netting a Chinese wife is a mark of accomplishment.
.

With Malay boss Saudi Arabia MBS pivoting to China, and also those Iranian Mullah aligning to China, I see relationship of Chinese Malay improving in future. MBS seeks to modernize Saudi like crazy these days. MBS is also liberating women.

I have always argued those patriotic Islamic individuals see modernization as a way forward.

I hear Singapore has some really nice beaches

I am fine with minorities not competing as hard as Chinese as long they do not ask for equality in income and wealth.

I am fine with Singapore Chinese being proud of China. If China was prosperous in 19th century most of you would stay put in China in the first place. As a practical matter good relationship with China is a pre-requisite for Singapore hub status. It is okay to be silent on democracy/human rights, Uiygurs and Taiwan. At some point Singapore has to distance itself from outrageous Chinese actions like those in South China Sea which affect regional security,

The colonial masters demarcated the SCS for these states, which never include Sprately -- reason why in terms of Jurisprudence, they cant fight.

And also China has allowed SCS nations to de jure carve up Sprately giving them some share of it.

Vietnam is reclaiming Sprately massively now. China did not complain.

I am no opinion on who owns the Sprately islands. Putting a bunch of rocks in the ocean and claiming the area around it is simply unacceptable,

The 9th dash line was first drawn by KMT with support of US. Then US gave KMT a warship and KMT navy went there for a walk around. No other SE Asia nations did that immediately after Japanese surrender.

Also in terms of marine demarcation, China has been proven generous to Vietnam for the tokin bay demarcation.

Bac Long Vi was ceded to Vietnam.

Bach Long Vi is a gift of China to Vietnam. If Tokin bay maritime border is to be drawn when considering Bach Long Vi belongs to China, the border will be close to Vietnam biggest port Hai Phong.

In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party won the Chinese Civil War against Chiang Kai-shek's army.

In 1955 the People's Republic of China drove Chiang Kai-shek's army away and seized the island.

On January 16, 1957, China's government transferred the island to North Vietnam's government.[7] On that day, the Prime Minister of Vietnam signed Decree Number 49/Ttg which stipulated that Bạch Long Vĩ island is a “xã” (village) and belongs to Haiphong city. That year a fish farm co-operative (Hợp tác xã Nông ngư), which had 93 workers and 22 hectares of land and 13 ships, was established on the island.

Lol, what right does SG or US has to lecture China on Human rights/democracy, Uyghurs and Taiwan ? Go clean up the human rights violations shit in your country and hands off Chinese internal matters. Stop all the fabrications on all the wrongs of China to meet US not honorable agendas.
