Could it ever happen?

75% of Singapore is Chinese.

No, too different.

Won't Singaporean Chinese love to have the good looking northern Chinese boys and girls to be in their mix, with their perfect Mandarin / Beijinginess sounding Chinese?

It is like a lost child finally finds his home again.

thks, your girls are already mixing well over here, don't know about the gays but our girls here don't seem to have a fancy for your boys
Lost child? hell no. We are already out of the goldfish bowl and adapting to our place in the current world, while everyone else in this area are still swimming in their goldfish bowl world.

Don't be so stuck up.

We can be quite cool.

LOL. It is like saying "Australia, USA, New Zealand and Canada" becoming part of England because over 80% of their population came from England.


Also it is like saying that Fiji becoming part of India since Indians make up the majority of the Island's population.

I don't see it happening. Strategic alliance would be good.

OK, I'm beginning to like you

Nope.

However, economically, yes. SG business communities certainly see China's as a gold pot, with tons of money to be made & deposited back to SG to enriched the nation-state.

Political & military alliance - fat hopes. SG is far too valuable a US ally in their grand scheme of things.

WOW man something intelligent from you. Nice argument keep it up.

But they only have a US alliance becasue at the moment it suits their purpose. Singapore is best at looking after its own intrests.

I don't think the Malay minority would be fond of that.

LOL. Even Singaporean chinese won't either.

team up with ROC

I think the Malaysians would scream foul.

you mean it's very rare for him?

Yes it's very rare for him to do that. Most of the time he whines about white men in his posts.

lol..what's with his face? He looks like a newborn.

Now this is cool -> http://www.animeforum.com/image/77173464dc0c1357ab.jpg

Maybe Singapore should be annexed to Taiwan instead.

Don't be foolish !!! I was just arguing about all the China bashing and I don't have anything against white people.

I am not entirely sure that this will remain the case in the decades to come... i see a shift in geopolitical powerplay in SE asia. SG government is sucking up big time to the Gulf States like Qatar and Bahrain these days... they know they have to play both sides.... not juz Uncle Sam's game..

Practically all of South East Asia is falling under the thrall of China. As you've pointed out, the majority of Singaporeans are of Chinese descent. Why would Singaporeans be in a huffy over this? All too often 'overseas Chinese' have far more loyalty to China than to their actual home countries. They seem to be a pretty consolidated bunch who don't assimilate into other cultures that often. There are, of course, many exceptions, but the Chinese (and Indians) do seem to have a lower rate of assimilation than other immigrant groups.

^ u obviously have never been to Singapore lately

There is rising anti-PRC sentiments amongst Chinese population in SG. WTF do u know about overseas chinese and their loyalty to China???

^I know....hell bull$hit....
I'm in some way offended by that. Calling me traitorous bastard are you ?? You Asiandescendant....

i don't care much about annexation

i hope Lee's family runs china. actually, modern ruling communists are indoctrinated by Lee's ideology and aspired by his governance. Deng XiaoPing said publicly he will transfer china into another Singapore.

China's chinese are far too independent and set in their ways to be ruled by Lee doctrine. Lee's doctrine works because it's a maritime island state with lots of foreign influences buffeting the islanders to keep up with the job of survival and properity. China's land mass is big and most of its inhabitants are sedentary with thousands of years of isolation and habits that are hard to change. Mr Deng was only referring to the coastal cities (SEZ) for copying the Singapore model of growth and expansion... I know one of our former cabinet ministers Dr Goh Keng Swee was instrumental in helping the Chinese government set up these economic zones on the coast.

some of your fellow huaqiao in Malaysian chat are trying really hard to associate themself with the mainland chinese. The fact that people are born and raised in a different country especially holding other citizenship makes a huge difference ~ try telling that to them its kinda hard. I think they receive pressure when the local malaysian tell them to go back home if they dont like Malaysia

just bolding out that word. anyway some non-malays keep harping that malays should go back to indonesia. they should learn malay history before insisting on silly ideas. however cant totally blame them though, as such syllabus is not taught in school.

Unity in relationships...how will tangawizard feel when China sounds the horn for its children to take over the whirl??

Okay...but frrl....i hope this made u laugh...u are a fighter for whateverthehell you are fighting 4...go-girl

I'm sorry one more time ~ I think overseas chinese are none of china's business.

I do think Overseas Chinese and Mainland Chinese should do whatever they can to support eachother. It's just common sense.

I've never been to Singapore but of course I'd automatically take a Singaporean Chinese's side.

I'm sorry but, is that guy a kid?

Anyway in response to topic I doubt Singaporean Chinese would want their country to be a part of China, eventhough they might be supportive in some of China's policies or such. I guess... they're pretty much happy to just be Singaporeans?

They had a Idol show on channel 8 recently, and guess what? A pair of twins from China won the contest.

The girl in the red is good at pottery

Okay let me pose another Scenario.

What About if Singapore and Hong Kong become a single country?

how can HK become part of other country if its already part of china ?

Singapore will only become part of china when they are about to be overrun by indonesians or malaysians and declare themself to be part of china for protection.

Its a hypothetical scenario.

He looks like a barbie doll.

Hahahah.... dude, i think it's more like HK and SG needs protection from CHINA !!!!!

Well HK is already part of china and they are quite happy.

About Singapore, no worry we are not interested in your tiny island, we were interested in how you managed to become a well-developed city-economy, now we know how to do it, there is much less interest for singapore these days. As a tiny city-state among the giants, I would be modest if I were singaore, unless you can solve the problems with malays once and forall, you are always in danger, today you have uncle sam's protection, but how long will it last is the question.

Thats partly because no drastic changes has been made in HK (not at least for another 100 years or 200 years according to an agreement between Britain and China).

But What If HK wasnt a part of China? (its a hypothetical scenario)

It's 50 years.

If HK wasn't part of china, then it would still be under britisch rule and I don't see why anyone want to create a country out of it with singapore, they are too far from each other anyway, I don't see the point of this discussion.

Its hypothetical. Relax just having some fun my friend.

Lets say it wasnt under British rule.

Hong Kong like Singapore both seem to be somewhat liberal compare to PRC China. Both HK and Singapore still retains alot of the old cultural religious practices as well.

Nonsense, Singapore is not liberal compared with China... we are ruled by draconian mandarins!!!!

I am glad China has no interest in Singapore because we should always be political independent from the Chinese, despite our closer economic cooperation. Singapore's fortune is as a maritime island state. Throughout the centuries, the local Malays, Chinese and Europeans have used our ports for trading without politics being a major issue. It should always remain neutral as a non-aligned state that lives only for economic prosperity, and not for political idealism.

I think HK and SG have a rivalry in the financial industry sector, other than that... I don't think SG can ever compare with the dynamism of the Hongkees. We follow the trends set by the savvy Hongkees...

hk was never a not part of china

it was leaased

thats not chinese ppls business

our ideology is different to westeners

Lets say its wasnt a part of China. (hypothetical scenario)

^OMG people just don't read the previous posts....You've been saying that like 3-4 times already.....

Why don't people ever say Malaysia becoming part of China or Indonesia for that matter??

Why is Singapore always painted as a chinese haven?
