Originally posted by alize:Not punish them militarily but economically. You won't see Pakistan and Thailand acting against China. These 2 countries are traditionally US-leaning but have turned to China for their defence on cost grounds, the US not in a position to subsidize them at the moment.
Now even Malaysia is going for their $ for the 2nd Penang Bridge project, and their trucks and SAMs.
Singapore... hmm... ;) have fun with your population policy while the going is good...

you want to take money from dai yi long, you deserve to be punish if you don't pay up. What has our population policy got to do with this? you singaporean?
Yes I am native Singaporean.
As for population policy, if the govt imports too many people from China they might forgo alot of freedom of action in future. These guys are not docile and tame like us Singaporeans. They are united, have one mindset, and are much more garang than us. In a confrontation if Singapore does not side with China, there might be unrest.
Even leaving aside their patriotic feelings, China has various ways of pressuring its citizens to act, even if they are outside the country. Many of them hope to return and have assets back home.
China territory alway get divided.
Until now they havent reclaim Taiwan.

Chinese people are the most divided race in the world. China fought more civil wars than war against outside invaders.
In confrontation with whom? there have been issues when the Chinese were not happy with Singapore, e.g. LHL visited Taiwan, LKY sided with the US on regional military balance, the netizens of China kpkb with the fiercest words, but, that never affected the new citizens or the PR from china.
China is so big, the people in the north never agree with those in the south, the people from beijing don't agree with the shanghainese on many many issues. I dont think the chinese outside china, whether in singapore, US or anywhere would act because of what their government says.
Our ancesters used to hope to return to Teng Sua, or Tang Shan. Now we are citizens of singapore, things change!
having said all that, I do agree that the rampant clearance for immigrants into singapore should be checked, wherever they come from.
