You are really making me real mad. I think I will start flaming
you when I can't stand it.
I don't see what's wrong with communicating with the Chinese. I
think you are wrong about not many countries learn Chinese. Chinese
history is fascinating and very interesting to them. Chinese
history stretches for more than 5000 years. The culture is rich and
diverse due to the different dynasties.
By the way, Chinese history is interesting to me. I have a group of
friends who also share the same interest in learning more about
Chinese, their history and culture.
China may not need Singapore, but Singapore needs China and other
countries to survive. If you study our history well, we survive
mainly on entrepot trade, which means we need to communicate well.
The fact that we did not rely on entrepot trade alone to survive is
to prevent us from falling. If the entrepot trade area gets too
competitive, and Singapore is not surviving well, we have the other
areas to support us.
