^ right on.. u gotta look at this phenomenon from a low-down triad level ...
we got no choice but to suck up to the cheena ah tiongs becus SG's gahmen knew all along the cheenas were buying US treasury bonds and selling goods to the americans on credit...
u know historically, wherever the cheenas go, they like to set up their shop ("kek-ai-tiams")and their strategy is always this: they let u buy on credit, until one day, the cheena tow-kay sends his gangsters to collect his debt and u gotta let him screw yr wife for free as payment..

so since our MM Lee understands gangster mentality best, yeah... he said before, he's a tight little gangster in white!

we better gang up with the cheenas rather than gang up with the american hoods lor!!! ahahahahahahhahaa....
