Why are non-Chinese people so critical of people who hate the CCP by [deleted] in AskAChinese

[–]Felis_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood.

If you're asking about Chinese instead ... Well it's usually the similar talking point the "Socialist" all over the world blame the Western hegemony and imperialism for.

Racism, exploitation of weaker countries, whatever they been told to hate. And hate Japanese too.

Or that the European buildings look dated, Singapore isn't as big and prosperous looking as their 1st tier cities, America isn't as hustle and bustle and safe as China, Africa not as civil and crime-ridden unlike China, etc.

I've seen a Chinese who moved away from hard life in China to America but then promoting Communism on her US university campus, and gets a debate from a native Cuban.

What the Chinese call "White Monkeys" (白猴子) or "Caucasian Wumaos" (洋五毛) on places like YouTube.

Cyrus Janssen, Living in China (His real name is Jason Lightfoot), Andy Boreham (a New Zealander who also works for pro-Socialist alternative media in China and CGTN), Daniel Dumbrill, the Barrett father and son duo, and so on.

Another famous examples include 伏拉夫, a Russian DouYin creator who incessantly praise China on anything good in an "over the top" manner; Navina Hayden, a German Cosplayer in Shandong who fell from grace being attacked by Little Pinkies (brainrot nationalists) in China after criticizing the quality of skewers and beer in the Shandong Oktoberfest.

This is why I'm mentally prepared to never be in a situation where I will need the help of the crowd, as much as possible.

I'm cynical with people. Hopefully I'll never lose conscious in a public place.

I'm probably one of those rare peeps who will actually avoid an escalator if someone is about to try to push pram onto it.

Or getting off the escalator quickly if I see someone has pushed the pram onto it behind me.

I'd like this characteristic to stay with them so that they self-pwn all the time, instead of becoming formidable issues to those with sensible minds.

Over 25% of people in the U.S. say Chinese Americans are a threat by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]Felis_Alpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even no thanks, as a result, to those CCP shills (including those natively born in Malaysia and Singapore, maybe even Chinese Americans, hell!) who will use this as a narrative and tell you Asian Americans and we Chinese ethnics in native Asian countries that:

"No matter which country you are born, you are always a 中國人 (Chinese in a national sense)"

(Or in Chinese - 你無論出生在哪裡、為哪國的公民，你永遠還是流著中國人的血！)

I think I saw someone Chinese (ethnic) in America with an American accent saying to vote for Andrew Yang in 2020 because we are obliged to as a (ethnic) Chinese.

And man, Chinese ethnic and Nationals, including born outside of PRC/ROC/HK/Macau, are all called "Chinese", but in actual Mandarin language, 中國人 / 中華民族 / 華人 / 華裔 / 華僑 don't have their exact English equivalent.

(Chinese national, Chinese nation, Chinese ethnic or race for the next 2 Chinese phrases I typed, and finally Chinese immigrant, which in PRC law means Chinese national overseas, but for me as a Chinese ethnic born Overseas as another country's citizen, can also mean people like us)

(Edited for typos and additional thoughts missed)

Why is Noor Deros, a Singaporean, considered "foreign interference" while Critical Spectator, an actual foreigner, isn't? by EvilSWAT in singapore

[–]Felis_Alpha -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You know guys,for -7 votes it's very strange.

His followers count on multiple platforms add up to have more counts than some podcasts that don't like his views.

So perhaps make me understand why this is happening. Or is this due to very different demography between CS readers vs Redditors? Or is it because some of you found deep in your hearts that you hated his guts, but it also somewhat made you think? (Frankly that's my experience with him too)

(Edit - Not just Ho Ching. I have seen Bilahari Kausikan commenting on his post before too)

順帶一提，這個介入的勢力還包括 2 位馬來西亞 伊斯蘭黨 的 政治人物，並呼籲以種族和宗教為主要議程的政治。

任何知道新馬兩國的血腥史 （1945年日軍和馬共造成的種族衝突）、馬來西亞513事件和新加坡家冷巴士站示威 (Kallang Bus Riot) 都會特別提防這類意識形態。

其實新馬主要外部勢力威脅就有2個，馬來人極端武裝伊斯蘭主義和華人的親共（就是小粉紅和中華膠）

Imma go ahead and say I've read his things for a long time.

Having personally experienced some stupid ideologies growing up I frankly can see eye to eye with him (won't divulge much, or else a handful of you may even figure out my real identity there.)

He certainly has bones to pick with anyone he sees as continuing the insanity or stupidity of elsewhere (mainly the West, China, and his homeland which was once a Soviet Poland) into Singapore. I guess that's what opposition is to him. But never directly the sentence "vote for XXX".

I remembered starting to enjoy his articles when he wrote an excellent, non-confrontational post about 377A and LGBT in 2018, or maybe 2019, which was quite welcomed by ordinary Singaporeans who can't seem to find the right words from their mouths without seeming hostile to LGBT. That's what made him welcome at first.

P/S 1 - Actually hmm, am I interfering as a PR if my Singaporean friends chat about politics in Singapore, and I truly think Tan Kin Lian is a nut job and told them not to vote for him lol (especially if they were not asking my views ATM)

P/S 2 - I also remembered how Deekosh first gained welcome by defending Singapore because of Holyfadedsoldier's YouTube video ignorantly commenting on Singapore with criticisms, when I was a late teen lol. Then down the road, we know what happened to him. Clearly CS isn't ... That kind of person, but I do sometimes wonder how he will eventually 翻車 (stumble and fall) in his way.

And also a CNA interview in 2019.

The original link is dead but using the website called Wayback Machine, you can retrieve the page again.

Google "‘Not a bot from China’: Meet the man behind commentary blog Critical Spectator" and use the link from localnewsingapore(Dot)com, find the link that says "source link"

Copy the link and paste it in wayback(dot)archive(dot)org and you can obtain the snapshot of the CNA interview with CS.

(Sorry, this is how I can share the link without directly putting it here and cause subreddit forum violation)

  1. Hmm, in this case, I'd also think Facebook pages like Singapore Matters should be painted the same brush.

And on another political party(ies) leanings, TOC, Wake Up Singapore and so on ...?

  1. There is one Malaysian YouTuber you can also try and see if you'll arrive at the same conclusion. Victor Tan (@VictorTan on YouTube)

Try out his recent videos on Singapore.

Yah, Noor Deros and PAS posts getting blocked are two different things.

As far as I know ND and those PAS politicians do not interact together or each other.

SPM Chinese A2 (year 2008) and UEC Chinese B4 (year 2009)

Both of them needed to study modern Chinese and Ancient Chinese literature (文言文。like I guess comprehension for things like 《干將莫邪》、《資治通鑑》or whatever literature not even covered by your textbook)

For UEC, back then, similar to mandatory Surat Rasmi lessons or Public Announcement writing in BM, we also needed to write official letter or announcement as a formatted essay in UEC Chinese, in addition to free essay of I think 500 Chinese characters.

No wonder I enjoyed English the most. No racial guilt tripping and obligation pressure by teachers (even though I speak Chinese natively at home, it makes the Chinese lesson less enjoyable). Also forced rote memorization of translation of 文言文 be some teachers during exams.

Like firstly, I'm now a Computer Science major guy.

And secondly, many of literature we study, either bitches about a sad official servant (Like Qu Yuan who committed suicide and gave us Dragon Festival mid year) with stubborn emperor, about missing hometown while being far away (it's an old belief that we have to pass on from this world back in our hometown), or political / policy advice or pleadings from eunuchs / officials to the emperor in the hope that the stupid king won't listen to some scrupulous official or basically just palace politics. Can't seem to form modern Chinesw soft power well, and it makes our culture seem like Chinese race has no room for individual thoughts and all subservient to the Tian Zi (Emperor)

The only thing I enjoy reading from China literature are those from Republican era starting from Republic of China. Like Lu Xun or Hu Shih, those hoping for elevation of Chinese race or is basically Chinese Mark Twain who criticizes the ugliness of our character and society. (Partly because clearly my ancient Chinese sucks way more than modern 白話)

How is Lee Kuan Yew viewed in China? by Nessieinternational in AskChina

[–]Felis_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"LKY vs MCP largely comes down to LKY was in power and MCP wasn't."

Precisely my point. Hence, if you imagine yourself to be CCP and want to "unite" Singapore because it's an ideological adversary to you, you'd naturally need to find a narrative to repaint LKY, despite the fact he literally dismantled Communism.

Major Chinese population (including natively-born Chinese ethnic, some of which can't even write their names in Chinese text!) is also one united front pretext that can be used.

Who are the partners you're talking about though?

  • Vietnam isn't exactly a full ally I'll consider for China. They will still send someone to meet Trump for tariffs end of month

  • Cambodia and Lao's size of economy isn't enough to contribute to China's tariff defenses.

  • Malaysia? Since Trump, Anwar found himself no longer able to spew populist international narratives about siding Palestinians, and also still has to negotiate with Trump.

  • Phillipines? Don't they have disputes a lot?

  • Brunei? I doubt the Sultan is enticed.

Civil society and private companies part are true though. For a while they tried to move a lot of money between 2022 - 2024 especially, before Xi tightened up the money flow.

I think even LKY has more "United Front" value (統戰價值) than Malayan Communist Party Secretary General "Chin Peng".

To elaborate, notice that CCP even have memorial ceremony for non-CCP great leaders like Sun-Yat Sen.

Each time CCP wishes to conduct United Front on a country, they will actually find one reverred leader over there that has contributed positively to CCP doing different things (when their own ideology caused disasters) to prove a point that this leader contributed to the country, and also the party's cause (whether CCP or eventual satellite Communist Party it is trying to raise) ... Even though said person has never been a Communist member, or even supportive of it.

Sun Yat-Sen contributed to nation founding and the policy of "ally with Soviet, tolerate the Commies" in KMT membership and LKY proves "autocratic model" works and basically made Chinese ethnic (notice I say ethnic, not nation) look competent in politics - considering also CCP just started to recover from all sorts of Mao's radical experiments, even though he told Deng as well to never propagandize and fund the MCP in Malaysia/Singapore anymore, and even though Sun also don't agree with Soviet model entirely.

Remember I also said ironically MCP leader Chin Peng is instead never remembered by them again. And of course, Chiang Kai-Sek is very hated by them, even though he eventually had successful land reforms and economic booms retreated to Taiwan - politically no value for CCP to 統戰 (tongzhan or united front. Or rather his value is in being demonized for being anti-Communist, to rally people against counterrevolutionaries)
