Yep I am Chinese Singaporean, yourself? For Singapore its not so much about the the Chinese majority that determines the outcome I believe (Especially since US has a large influence with the naval base and all) but being small the politicians tend to remain neutral in most affairs involving...

Excellent, the same goes for Singapore, and I believe Indonesia as well.

This article came in from the Spore local papers today which adds to the above article. I see this as a positive because the central government is stepping in to address the people and resolve the issue which is very positive indeed. There's no blame game here, every developing country will...

Thanks for your compliments on my country but I can assure you no one in the region will want to pick a fight with China for Vietnam sake, unless the US got involved then there is a higher chance. Anyway as Viva_Viet said he does not need the help of the people in region and just needs us to...

That's true we are small in the region :cry: Then again we do refine 1.4 Million barrels of Oil a day which is 10 times more the Vietnam and more then anyone else in the region (3rd largest worldwide). So unless ships run on seawater you're gonna have a hard time topping up your tank without...

Thanks for the above, I was not aware that Seoul does not have a Chinatown, I'll defintely want to come by Korea one day. As mentioned I don't refute the above as NK being a buffer zone I suspect they will try to enter China as opposed to SK, porous borders. Actually I used that as an...

I very much doubt North Korea and East Germany shares the kind of similarities that you speak. I doubt East Germany had now where near the level of starvation that goes on in North Korea today, anyway here's a link that discusses such comparisons (Comparing North Korea to East Germany | East...

Look on the bright side, least there are no flying shoes around. Must be a positive step :D

You'll see a new species of incredible hulks appearing :P

Honestly that's just being silly

That's a good question and honestly one I don't have an answer for (my aim was to refute the desalination claims). But if it does happen it will probably be similar to this project (irrigate dryer lands) and will definitely take more then 5 years. Probably decades, saying that I doubt they will...

If you say so :what:

Wow that's stronger then I expected, I'll take your word for it cause I have not been down to Korea myself. North Korea is a little tricky to say, I can see why China is supporting NK because a collapse of the regime would flood their borders with refugees. Though things can't stay this way...

I'll cut them a break because if China does damn the Mekong it will impact the whole of South East Asia not just Vietnam. While diverting the water a possibility (China has proven it) replacing it with Desalination is stupid talk. Well the reality on the ground is different, lets leave it as...

Excuse for the off topic talk. I wanted to ask you what is the general South Korean opinion of China and Chinese in general and what do they feel about China's support to North Korea? I only ask because most of the South Koreans I meet have a favorable view of China as compared to Japan...

Your analogy sounds a desperate, we've (Singapore) been desalinating water for years and the cost staggering. Vietnam used about 82,031,000,000 Cubic Meters of water a year, lets say about 70% comes from the Mekong River, water desalination is about 50 US cents per cubic Meter. That amounts...

Opps Replied before

I apologies for that mate, you had the ^ sign which is typically used in reference for the above post. I misread your intentions

I'm a Singaporean douche (in case you're not sure where that is check it on Google map), and when did I call people here barbarians? ---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ---------- Arm Vietnam if you want I couldn't give a toss, shooting innocents is...

It depends on your own individual moral standing. Do you support his attacking of merchant ships? Even in war I would never shoot unarmed combatants, and we do serve in the service.
