That Julian Karaguesian is a straight up wumao. He was the one quoted as saying that Canada should not be a “vassal state” in following American EV tariffs. Basically straight out of /r/Sino…
Sad. Visiting Sentosa island as a kid they had a memorial exhibit with the pictures of Sook Ching. This history was basically ignored in Canada (Canadian history in the Pacific war begins and ends with the capture of HK where a Canadian unit was sent). After seeing this, I found it really hard to stomach weebs beyond just the weird fetish aspect. Not too different from cheering Nazis.
I find it interesting that you feel like the progress of China inspires more resentment than pride.
It’s interesting from other responses that there is no strong explanation for the animosity to China from Singaporeans. It would seem that these feelings perhaps have sublimated very subtly. I think feelings will adjust again in another 10 years as the people witness the new western reality.
Add: About the new western reality, Asians, I speak mostly from my experience mostly from HK, they have a very naive perception of the west. For example, they believe in all these political freedoms being so valuable when they don’t realize US/UK/Canada all have of criminal gangs of 14/15/16 year olds right now robbing and even killing, they and their handlers know the law is on their side, it’s totally fxxcked. Like you think criticizing the “CCP” is more important than basic safety? I also think they don’t realize how many real hardcore Nazis have come out of the woodwork in the last 10 years being super open about it.
And in case people think this is just anecdotal:
