Chinese nationals: should we tighten restrictions?

Regardless of who is the more predatory nation, I am in favor of a selective migration policy which requires a means test, placing the onus on the employers...

The recent Huang Na case has opened a can of worms where Chinese nationals are concerned.

In the light of the easy availability of forged travel documents in China, I feel that we should reverse our current policy of going out to woo them. Rather, more strict controls are needed.

What do you guys think?

Em… Tighten no use, they can change name

Singapore wants to import more males from china..to do ns and increase the "Ethnic chinese majority"?

Strangely , i have noticed that alot of NTU pple are from China..

Problem is ...those pple might bring their CCP party ideals here...

Another problem is...the 1 party control ideals are already here.

sbst275 SG

Just that 1 is Communist, another is open minded ppl

Why is the PAP importing Chinese nationals? It is not about trying to increase the number of ethnic Chinese majority. It is all about money. China people have become a valuable source of income.

For example if china students stop coming to S'pore, schools like Stansfield, informatics will probably close shop. Malaysian universities will be more than happy to accept them since nowadays small towns in Malaysia are booming due to an influx of Chinese students.

If China tourists stop coming to Singapore, our tourism industry will sink into oblivion since nowadays it is not ang moh tourists but China tourists who bring in the most bucks.

Our real estate property market is not doing so well these years and Chinese nationals are now the third largest buyer/investor of private properties in Spore.

PAP will definitely not want to tighthen restrictions on them.

I think they should.

I heard somewhere that the number of China whores are increasing in Geylang. They're brazen, and openly approach men. Imagine that!

I heard from my friend in Hongkong, that HK is no longer a nice place to be. Why?

That's because poor China nationals have been going to HK and the crime rate has increased tremendously.

While it is good for the economy, because the chinese buy and spend a lot, the people who are here to stay are not quite the same.

I wouldn't want SG to become like that in the future, so yes, i agree that restrictions should be tightened.

sbst275 SG

I think they should control Geylang tightly... All these minority are spoiling our image and theirs Mad

Blueray SG

If increasing crime rate is the reason to tighthen restrictions then China will do the same thing bcos nowadays there seem to be a trend of Singaporeans committing crimes in China. here's what I mean:

I wonder if you guys forgot that the majority of chinese in Singapore came from China in the 1900s...

_Aaron_ SG

True. But Japan came from China too right?

And Taiwan as well... but why are they so different?

<sk> SG

Luckily you're not working in EDB, otherwise singapore will not have any chinese foreign investment. Laughing

sbst275 SG

Iveco, scold China, scold SG... But praise the West... Rolling Eyes

<sk> SG

Didn't you study history as to why Chinese were fleeing China during the 1900s?

For Taiwan, they wanted to flee the communist rule and fled to Taiwan to setup their base there, you remember Chiang Kai Sek from your history books?

As for the Japan China one... I'm not too sure about that

Nowadays the Taiwanese are returning back to China. Mainland China is now the 4th hottest destination for emigrating Taiwanese. There are about 3 to 4 million Taiwanese living in China. Here's what I mean:

What i'm saying is.

China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore.

We were once the same.

We are not the same anymore.

Is that not true?

Especially in our case, our cultures and such have all changed, we don't even speak chinese anymore, we speak singlish~

SibeiSuayKia SG

Ok, these countries were originated from the original "Middle Asia.."

anyway if u noticed some japanese words, look like chinese..some of them..

just like the whites in europe...come from central asia..

Aryans..

Aryans went towards the western europe part, and during 1700's european immigrants made up the "early americans"

original americans were the mohawk and apache tribes..

Korea actually came from before 600 AD, some pple went there and create an independent state called Korguyo and another independent language ..

Anyway, If u check history books, China did attempt to invade japan last time..
way centuries ago..

it was only in 1800's did an american "general" came and forced japan to open up it's ports

Having problems differentiating

taiwanese,singaporeans,hongkongers,japanese,korean,chinese??

Cause they are the same as..

and whites also have problems differentiating..

French,germans,british,polish,russian,americans..??

get wad i mean now..

ditzy SG

I think we should tighten restrictions on graduates returning back from WA too. Laughing

SibeiSuayKia SG

just like the whites..caucasians who look like the same..French and germans look the same...u can't tell who is french who is german til they speak..

Likewise..Chinese or japanese or korean..

you can't tell who is chinese or who is korean..

other den the way they dress..which is pretty deceptive since china pple are buying up prada goods as well..
