When China giving Singapore its toys back?

[Barnsley]

The moment when Singapore promises to stop playing its toys at a private playground called "Taiwan". I supposed like any kids with their brand new toys, it takes tough love to remind them about overstaying their welcome...

You think the indigenous folk of Taiwan asked Singapore to leave?
That's some new thinking on your part.
Do you think the rest of the invaders will be leaving soon as well?

Before I can answer Q1 & Q2, what do you mean with the words "indigenous folk of Taiwan" and " rest of the invaders" ?

The original inhabitants of the Island ..... Or the earliest inhabitants.

The folks who came over after losing a war elsewhere......

How are the 50c piling up now?

Ah..Thanks for clarifying.
I don't think the Taiwanese indigenous folks stand any chance to have any influence on that.

This is like expecting the Aboriginal Australian has a say after "rest of the invaders" in Aussie land welcomes the new "invasion" from a Asian country...

I doubt so in our post-Brexit era.
Unless, of course, Australia gov decided to bring back that old tradition of incarcerating English criminals and turn it into another modern-day tourist industry.

by your logic of China dictating terms to Taiwan, why not UK also dictate Who Australia plays with ? After all, the queen is the Head of State for Straya right ?

That's your logic, not mine.

Why would UK "riled up" on a former colony which is essentially now an independent state with a seat in the UN and does not conduct in ways that compromise mutual interests ?

I rest my case, Your Honor.

Hence it's proven again that China dictate terms to those she thinks needs to be reined in ...

Strange...why thank me ?

All I did was to clarify that "logic" wasn't from me and my post ended instead with "?"

You mean ASKING assistance from a guy who once promised that "Mexican wall" and prematurely help killed a pet project that Singapore government once lovingly promoted with great enthusiasm over last decade or more ?

Can any one remember that warning from Singapore PM if the US decided to withdraw from that project ?

It's a shocking situation actually. I am becoming more and more concerned about a war and we know which sign Singapore will be on.

And this time around, it is China that needs to be reined in !
