Our poor soon to be PM, BG Lee Hisen Long was caught in between a cross fire between China and Taiwan. I was not entirely suprised at the Chinese's outrage but yet surprised that they made such a remark. My opinion is that the Chinese are too sensitive, narrow-minded and getting alot more like North Korea. DPM Lee picked a excellent time to visit Taiwan. Well being a small fry, I guess no matter how much anger I felt, it probably will not make a difference in the situation. China is a big bully and Singapore is so small, it only has to take the "beatings"
China does not seem to respect any smaller countries especially those who are deemed as supportive of Taiwan's stint of independence. DPM Lee is right, Singapore is a independent republic and if a high authority has to succumb to another country's beck and call on minor issues, what image will Singapore give to the rest of the world ? The Chinese government like North Korea is forever so uptight about almost everything. While North Korea probably has nothing worth investing about, China can boast of its super fast developing and vast economy. Its sheer population is too much a temptation to be missed. The main culprit should be Taiwan's president. He is the one who caused so much tension between China and Taiwan. The vice president is not much better.
To think again, I do not think Mr Goh Chok Tong will pick such an auspicious period to visit Taiwan, regardless of what political or personal reasons. Especially now, when tension between the 2 states is sky high, any one who struck the wrong cord will have his/her fingers snapped. Yeah and someone's fingers really got snapped.
Most Asians being poor for most of the time are really a uncultured bunch. Look at how mainland Chinese,Taiwanese,North Koreans, Malaysian, Indonesian leaders behave.
What a mess and I wonder who is going to clear up. I think our dear old SM Lee should do something. Sad to say, we cannot afford to mess up our relationship with China.
