China - Singapore relations
-
I read Singapore could be annexed by China on the long run. They say, if China has annexed Taiwan, then Singapur will be the next target, because of the one China directive. I was quite surprised to read that, because Singapore supports a reunification of China and Taiwan. That Japan and some other countries fear a possible unication because it would shift the balance of power in the region further in chinas faveur, is an open secret, but that may have such consequences for Singapore is new to me. Is that a realistic scenario, that Singapore becomes part of China ( more or less voluntary) or is that a far fetched idea?

Heck, I'll be the first to take up arms against such an idea.
We are not China, nor a satellite of China, and never will we.It's hogwash and fantasy.We are not a Chinese state, we are a multiracial South East Asian state, Singaporean first, races second. -
Singapore as a tiny nation by nature will be very easily influenced by other heavy weights. One good example is the way that US influences SG, just look at the Laz who posted the 1st respond that declares he would go arm against it. U know how much the American gravity affect him.

Dude, what part of my statement = pro-American?Originally posted by 38�Ž:Singapore as a tiny nation by nature will be very easily influenced by other heavy weights.

So being independent and pro-Singapore is Pro-American huh..
Get a grip on reality la.Go and read up on what is realpolitik.America is just one of our interests, and no nation has permanent friends. -
just read the article ... the chap who wrote it has an obviously taiwanese agenda ...
fantasies and brown chocolate truffles should be in somewhere else, thank you .... -

I read from LHZB this morning, when a wiseman speaks, we listen and think; when a madman speaks, we ignore; if you can't tell the difference between a wiseman and a madman, do some reading yourself. -

I thought that China never ever thought that Singapore is a part of China.
Singapore is Singapore . ChinA is chinA.
From chinese sTudy book that only mention that Hongkong, macau, and TanWan belONGs to China. -
HaHa......quite true. Just take a look at NTU, it is literally turning to a 'CHINAPORE'. Their pesence could be felt throughout the island.

Haha..... Go to Serangoon and you will find the 'INDIANAPORE'. Go to Beach Road on Sunday you will find the THAIGAPORE'. Even when you go to LA, you will find many "CHINA STATES OF AMERICA."Originally posted by equlus84:HaHa......quite true. Just take a look at NTU, it is literally turning to a 'CHINAPORE'.

Their presence is felt allover the world but if you depend on your feeling only in making judgement, you will certainly lose your identity.

make nonsense
taiwan is part of china in history. singapore has never been a part of china in history. how come china claim it is part of china.

Confederacy is the way to go..but if we can see an East Asian Community by 2025..things will be looking good. -
I have read the article and clearly the author of the article has negative feelings towards Singapore and hence, whatever his words hold little or no weight because they are bias to a certain extent. Observe the way he wrote his words, he has strong anti-singapore sentiments and it's little wonder he use threats such as annexation of Singapore to "encourage" Singaporeans to help support Taiwan's cause. However, I am disappointed by the way he uses accusations on Singapore, and even more so by his threatening remarks to achieve what he want, without any basis or facts to imply on the issue of the annexation of Singapore. I don't respect this guy.

Cool down gentlemen.. China has never siad Singapore is part of China.
There may be some misguided soul in the west who said so, and believe so. I think It started two years ago... when read some forum and article stating this.
Obviously this writer has his own Pro-Taiwan agenda and wants to drag Singapore in !
