dun want to be involved in your squabble... but relief funds?? you think we still living in the days of Sun Yat-sen ah?? kang zhong yuan tai funds ah? nowadays its all loans between government or world bank... you mean there's gonna be someone holding a tin can selling flowers at Clementi MRT station?? or mayb they'll have getai to raise funds...Ah, you would be surprised, during the great floods of china not too long ago,
What will be China's Reaction if singaporeans help to contribute $$ to taiwan to fight china..Originally posted by dotaro:Ah, you would be surprised, during the great floods of china not too long ago,
many chinese "Hui Guan" actually did alot of work asking for relief funds for the victims in china that time. Hold tin cans, sell flowers, isnt that being done by students nowadays? Ah, you mean they did that long time ago during Sun Yat Sen period? Wow!
But my point is, if I noe there would be such a fund to help taiwan in time of war, I would do my best to help.
im toking abt your theory on Army..Hm, I did not theorise anything on Army, I just said that Taiwan maintains their army as a defense force, just like Japan.
so let me guess..u are Fan Lu eh? green?
dude..u did theorise abt your view on Army..tsk tsk..dude y keep changing words n view?Originally posted by dotaro:Hm, I did not theorise anything on Army, I just said that Taiwan maintains their army as a defense force, just like Japan.
As for Fan Lv or Fan Lan...
I'm a Sporean...so it's irrelevant...![]()
What will be China's Reaction if singaporeans help to contribute $$ to taiwan to fight china..China had better remember how Spore has helped China all the while from Deng XiaoPeng era till now. Economically, politically and socially.
I will only support China only when the media truly opens up and stops threatening those democratic pple in HK..
China should have elections for the pple , and i will also not support TW now..
unless DPP gets removed..
There is a subtle difference between defense force and army.Oh, you mean the above quote is counted as theory?
Take the Japanese for e.g, they dun call themselves an army, they call themselvs defense force. Their troops will not initiate a fight, will only fight to defend when provoked. They cant even send troops to fight a war, only for peace-keeping.
Taiwan's troops use this policy when it comes to their military
Singapore is not taking sides. We are supporting a one-China policy precisely because of the reasons stated. Taiwan declaring independence will result in war, which is what we are trying to pre-empt.Originally posted by aerozapper:I don't really get why Singaporeans would want to take sides in a PRC-ROC conflict. Look at the facts and not the rambling rhetoric.
If there's a war, no matter which side wins, we (Singapore) will lose.
Points to note:
There are a dozen other reasons why this potential war will not be good for us. This might sound a bit cold, but at the end of the day, we can't let ourselves get caught up in other nation's dirty business. We have to look after ourselves.
The one china policy might sound like we're "sucking up" or "kow towing" but believe it or not we're not siding the Chinese or Taiwanese. We're just taking care of the people that matter: Singaporeans.
im seriously thinking whether if u are as smart as u sound like..Originally posted by dotaro:Oh, you mean the above quote is counted as theory?
Well, it's my view, it's subject to critisism, but pls show me that the Taiwanese & Japanese calls themselves an "Army" , instead of "Defense Force"...
im seriously thinking whether if u are as smart as u sound like..Paiseh If I made you think that way
does Israelis "defense force" look like a defense force to u?Oh yes, you are right on your argument on the Army theory...
do they have the ability to project a force outside their state?
so y they call themselve IDF?
does JDA n SDF have the ability to project their force out? yes they can if they want to..
u know the reason y they are call ..how would the world react if they are call Japan Imperial Army?
does Taiwan have that ability? maybe yes maybe no...then y the hell they have airborne unit?
dude..its just a name for their army...in that case Singapore Army also only a defense force(forward defense also defense only wat ok )..y the hell we call our SAF???
since our doctrine is defense..we shld call our SDF wat..rite
hey but seriously...im wondering where u get the idea from..from wat i see..they are call Republic of China Army (ROCA)
Army get it? not ROCDF rite?
dude..im only bullshitting my way thru...u are rite on some part..Originally posted by dotaro:Oh yes, you are right on your argument on the Army theory...![]()
