The real danger is the growing wage gap. There is a big gulf between the provinces of the coastal regions and those deeper in. Heck most provinces without a port are bloody poor compared to those with!Originally posted by nismoS132:let's put things in perspective.
how many of that 1.3 billion are NOT living in rural villages, or knows what's a refridgerator?
tat isn't so bad...wat's worse is tat the US has a 4.4 million man army stationed AROUND THE WORLD while CHINA has a 100million man army stationed IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.....so if the population numbers are bad news...tis should be worst...Originally posted by sgdiehard:USA population is around 295 million and China's is 1.3 billion, not double, but double double, around 4.4 times!!!! are you scared?? sounds bad for sg????
Or are they actually using it as a CASINO ship for training casino workers? As their government had not approved the presence and creation of Casino like us?? hahaOriginally posted by KumSioJui:Aircraft carrier? They already have 1 which australia sold to them which they use as training platform.
they are also building a few more at their Dalian shipyards, but reports in 2000 says at least 1 will be fully completed this year in 2005, high chance it is the varyvag which they bought the hull from russia.

Its nothing new. MM Lee already said that China will become a superpower one day.Originally posted by ah_kwang:China could be a real superpower(sounds quite bad for sg). Considering the population of China and US, I believe china has more than double US's population.
oops!! Imagine 10 years later... we log on to Sgforums, Military nuts. And everything appears in Chinese. Imagine our desktop... "my computer" would become "wo de dian nao"(in chinese). Worst still, our aircraft cockpit, radar systems, handphone, PDAs, TVs, MRT stations, everything in chinese. JIA LAT AH!!! Better brush up our chinese language!!!Originally posted by Paladin:Its nothing new. MM Lee already said that China will become a superpower one day.
Where have u been all these years?![]()
This and several other posts seem to indicate that China is a potential enemy to Singapore.Originally posted by sgdiehard:USA population is around 295 million and China's is 1.3 billion, not double, but double double, around 4.4 times!!!! are you scared?? sounds bad for sg????
lagi worse, even haven't yet reached the status of a Super-power, China is acting as a bully now, threatening to Nuke US, Japan and Taiwan (if Japan or Taiwan possess nuclear weapon). Wah liao.... what is this?Originally posted by LazerLordz:I would be wary of China rather than place our faith in her.There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.
Being Chinese, I know that we can be very duplicitious.Same goes for the PRC.
Originally posted by Joe Black:dude ure info is wrong.....china nuclear policy is that china will never nvr start to use its nuclear weapons first......only when other countries like US try to interfear with china's policy towards taiwan and attack china.....

Well, I don't think it is alot if you divide that with the land area China has to defend. On a ratio basis, Singapore is crazier.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Wha, 210 fighter planes for what purpose?
Somehow i feel that China will be a much stronger force when comparing to USA...at least we know what kind of super-power USA is like, but i don't know what kind of super power china will be like....
210 mirage jets...crazy...
ours in comparison is 20 NGF..
Isn't the US a bigger bully? What would you do if your friends living on Palau Ubin decides to be independent from mainland Singapore? And your neighbors come in to encourage this separatism? Woudl you set Ubin inhabitants free because you love them and they are also Singaporeans previously?Originally posted by Joe Black:lagi worse, even haven't yet reached the status of a Super-power, China is acting as a bully now, threatening to Nuke US, Japan and Taiwan (if Japan or Taiwan possess nuclear weapon).

China is actually like the pre-WWII Japan and they have the face to criticise Japan for not apologising to China for the WW2 atrocities... double talk man....
Being a Chinese, I am very very afraid of a overly powerful PRC. I like Chinese to be strong throughout the world but definitely not under the Communist regime....
...and yes, I do think that if the mainlander really love Taiwan, they should set it free and let it choose the path, selfish forced possession is NOT love at all.
You know, that was exactly the scenario I painted before I decided to erase it. That's why you see my last post was simply "sorry".Originally posted by golani_bde:Isn't the US a bigger bully?

I also belive that Japan shares a higher portion of the blame for existing bad r/s between China and Japan. Can't they just own up, apologise and move on like the Germans?
I dont think China ever threaten to nuke Jap or taiwan. As for US, let's look at Gen Zhu's comments again:Originally posted by Joe Black:China is acting as a bully now, threatening to Nuke US, Japan and Taiwan (if Japan or Taiwan possess nuclear weapon). Wah liao.... what is this?

where did u get yr facts from, china don't have a 100m army.Originally posted by Lance_han:tat isn't so bad...wat's worse is tat the US has a 4.4 million man army stationed AROUND THE WORLD while CHINA has a 100million man army stationed IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY.....so if the population numbers are bad news...tis should be worst...
btw just my POV don think China will do anything dumb and att Taiwan...
1)world opinion is now somewhat on their side..and an att will give the US and its allies an overwhelming propganda tool....
2)the taiwanese economy is too intermixed wif China's...so an att there will cut off much needed profits....
and lastly...China is virtually surrounded by allies of the US.... so if they do att....the US has the ability to project at least it's airpower in the first few hours of any att watsoever....
....hmm...Originally posted by Kenashi:where did u get yr facts from, china don't have a 100m army.
total army strength for china stands at 3m at its peak.
how r u going to feed a 100m army in the first place
USA only have less than 1m counting those on national guards n reserves.
You think it is a "bad" thing if the language is in chinese, eventhough your mother tongue is chinese? Shows what kind of mentality you have. Happily living as a slave of colonialism and westernization. Not just being a slave physically, but mentally a slave deep to the core. I'll bet you would happily change your family name to "Woodleigh" or "Mountbatten".Originally posted by ah_kwang:Worst still, our aircraft cockpit, radar systems, handphone, PDAs, TVs, MRT stations, everything in chinese.
