I am Singaporean and I am Chinese too. Although we are not native Chinese but can't deny the fact that I am a yellow skin Chinese. Maybe I can say I am Asian but my ancestor, after all are native Chinese that had come to Singapore. There are lots of native Chinese in the early days migrate to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia etc. I don't know why but I dislike hearing another yellow skin person saying bad things about China or rolling their eyes when a product is made in China.
To be fair, every country have nice people and the not so nice people. I also heard about how some Singaporean misbehave overseas and being called Kiasu etc. I had learnt history of China from school and also from dad who likes to watch documentary. Chinese had gone through lots of hardship from all the past turmoil. They had not given up and continue to persevere. What they had accomplished today is not by sheer luck but hard work. Sad to say, there are always black sheep like what you see in one of my earlier post… dog butchers! Also the recent case where some evil business man exported contaminated wheat gluten for pet food manufacturer in USA and caused the death of many pets. There are also evil business man that made fake milk powder, meat products etc. Perhaps these black sheep had tainted the reputations of China.
Despite these, there are still some good we see. Not to forget, as the Chinese teaching had influence many great man. 从古至今是依然传颂的美德,忠孝礼仪。这四个字足以证明华人是如何注重品行。
