why so many emotional response?
in history only the western imperialists colonized other countries.
Zheng Ho visited many countries with his armada, never colonise
anybody. Looking east after the middle east, India, Burma,
Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines...all colonies of the
west. why do you think China is different now?
Does China want to colonize singapore? Western imperialists
colonized to control, for the resources. What resources are there
in Singapore worthy of being a colony for any country now,
especially now with the port at pelapas and port klang?
It is the ignorant angmoh in the west, who think that Singapore as
part of China. You can't put on a stupid angmoh brain and think
because singapore is part of China, China would want to have
Singapore.
Bowing to picture of Mao, 
, ask any chinese from PRC if they bow to anybody,
may be only to Lee Ka Shing, but then again, are they any different from any other
capitalists? You can burn the picture of mao as much as you can
afford to buy the picture, just don't polute the air. 
You don't want communism? so how is the current one party rule
social capitalism in Singapore different from the market driven
communism in China?
Why is there a fear for colonization, even at this age in time? may
be you haven't gotton rid of your colonial mentality. 
It was said that the american conquered the world with hollywood
and mcdonald, the japanese shouted tora tora tora again with toyota
honda cars, mitsubishi fridge, sony walkman ....and even the korean
won the hearts and minds of many asia with winter sonata and da
chang jin. The influence of china will come....
The question is, how do we decide what to accept what to reject?
One thing is for sure, if you have nothing except the colonial
mentality, you are likely to accept.
