why so many emotional response?
in history only the western imperialists colonized other countries. Zheng Ho visited many countries with his armada, never colonise anybody. Looking east after the middle east, India, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines...all colonies of the west. why do you think China is different now?
Does China want to colonize singapore? Western imperialists colonized to control, for the resources. What resources are there in Singapore worthy of being a colony for any country now, especially now with the port at pelapas and port klang?
It is the ignorant angmoh in the west, who think that Singapore as part of China. You can't put on a stupid angmoh brain and think because singapore is part of China, China would want to have Singapore.
Bowing to picture of Mao,

, ask any chinese from PRC if they bow to anybody, may be only to Lee Ka Shing,

but then again, are they any different from any other capitalists? You can burn the picture of mao as much as you can afford to buy the picture, just don't polute the air.

You don't want communism? so how is the current one party rule social capitalism in Singapore different from the market driven communism in China?
Why is there a fear for colonization, even at this age in time? may be you haven't gotton rid of your colonial mentality.

It was said that the american conquered the world with hollywood and mcdonald, the japanese shouted tora tora tora again with toyota honda cars, mitsubishi fridge, sony walkman ....and even the korean won the hearts and minds of many asia with winter sonata and da chang jin. The influence of china will come....
The question is, how do we decide what to accept what to reject? One thing is for sure, if you have nothing except the colonial mentality, you are likely to accept.
