Supreme Golden Pupils - Chapter 3) Overseas Chinese

To put it in an inhumane way, the Indonesians who engage in massacres in their own country have nothing to do with other countries!Can you imagine the British government declaring war on the US government for the murder of descendants of British immigrants who became US citizens hundreds of years ago?It is simply impossible!

It is also for this reason that Ling Shaonan is not surprised at all by the Chinese government's indifferent attitude towards the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in 98, but took it for granted. 【 】The reason is very simple. If this matter is really reported widely in the country, no one can predict the consequences, and no one can bear the responsibility.

In China at the end of the 90s, although there were not as many angry youths as there were more than ten years later, they were definitely not in the minority. When they knew that their compatriots were being bullied by a group of Indonesian monkeys abroad, how would they react?procession?Demonstration?Call for government intervention?In short, this matter will definitely make a big fuss, and the government will be roasted on the fire by then.

Intervene, no.Huaxia has always pursued a foreign policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. It is okay to issue a statement to protest. If it really sends troops to interfere, I am afraid that the fleet here will not go to sea. In this way, not to mention the inability to achieve any substantive results, it is certain that the face will be ruined, and at that time, it will be a loss of face.

Non-interference?Hehe, under the huge pressure in the country, the government can't even think about having a good life. If it is not handled well, it may cause social unrest. It is not impossible to cause the situation like a few years ago.In any case, what happened back then was only caused by some students. If the riots were caused this time, it would not be just the students. Maybe many people from the middle class of society would also be involved!

Therefore, no one can bear the consequences of announcing the anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia. The Chinese government can only take a cold approach and suppress it first. When this incident spreads to China in the future, the limelight will have passed. , it will be much easier then.Of course, this is also because the current Internet is not developed enough. If it is put in more than ten years, this kind of thing will not be covered up at all. In a few hours, it will be known to everyone in the country!

However, that being said, even if most of the current Indonesian Chinese are the pro-Taiwan faction and their descendants, after all, aren’t they still brothers of the same family as the Chinese?If he watched them being raped and plundered by a group of indigenous monkeys without any reaction, Ling Shaonan would definitely not feel comfortable.Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Ling Shaonan still appreciates overseas Chinese, including Indonesian Chinese.

From an economic point of view, the most successful group of Chinese overseas is the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Among the Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia has a population of 1000 million, of which there are about 500 million Chinese, Malaysia has 600 million people, about 500 million Chinese, Thailand has 900 million people, about 300 million Chinese, and Singapore has more than 90.00 million people. 9000%, 100 million people in the Philippines, about 20.00 million Chinese, but about [-]% are of Chinese descent.

The Chinese in Southeast Asia may impress the world the most because of their economic strength. For example, [-]% of small and medium-sized enterprises in Malaysia are owned by Chinese, including manufacturing, construction and service industries.

Everyone knows that the husband of Arroyo in the Philippines is of Chinese descent, and Thaksin of Thailand is of Chinese descent. Perhaps few people know that two-thirds of the members of the Thai parliament are also of Chinese descent.But these Chinese, like some ethnic minorities in China, are only Chinese in blood.

In Southeast Asia, only Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia can truly maintain the Chinese tradition on an ethnic scale.Some people once divided the Chinese in these three places into two types, traditional Chinese and Straits Chinese. The former generally speak Chinese and are very friendly when talking about China. They even call themselves Chinese, represented by the patriotic overseas Chinese Tan Kah Kee.The latter generally speak English, read the English-language Straits Times, get close to the West, and even feel ashamed of their Chinese face, represented by Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore.To some extent, the psychological changes of the Nanyang Chinese in the past half century are the history of the changes of these two kinds of Chinese.

In a sense, the achievements of overseas Chinese far surpass all Hong Kong elites headed by Li Ka-shing.Most of Hong Kong's wealth in the past half century has come from the agency fees and trade fees earned by being China's external window, and most of the rich people in Hong Kong have made their fortunes from Hong Kong's real estate. Most Hong Kong people did not benefit from it. Instead, their lives became stressful, and they could only live as house slaves in houses the size of pigeon coops.Therefore, Ling Shaonan doesn't pay much attention to the rich in Hong Kong.

(This is also one of the reasons why he swept Xu Jinheng's face last year and swallowed [-] million Hong Kong dollars from him forcefully. You know, after that incident, although no one said anything about his performance, he and He However, the conflict between the two big families of the Xu family and the Xu family has been planted. Once Ling Shaonan loses power in the future, these two families must be the first to jump out and make trouble. However, Ling Shaonan is not worried about this issue at all, so he did not send Xu The plan to uproot the He family, although it is not a difficult thing for him. Don't forget that Hange Investment Management Company still has a lot of stocks in Hong Kong listed companies, including Xu He The two industries, with Li Yunqing's financial ability, can beat them to the ground without Ling Shaonan's own hands.)

Regardless of whether it was before or after the reunification, Hong Kong people have always looked down upon mainlanders. Words such as "bumpkin" and "no quality" are often used by them on the heads of mainlanders, but it is ironic that now Nearly half of the employment of Hong Kong people is provided by Chinese-funded companies from the mainland.

Objectively speaking, Hong Kong's competitiveness in the international community has actually declined day by day, especially after the re-emergence of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the former Far East financial center, the decline of Hong Kong is already foreseeable. If it were not for the international free port and Supported by innate geographical advantages, this process of decline may be completed in just a dozen or 20 years.It's just that most Hong Kong people still don't see this, and are still ignorantly aggrieved by the so-called voting rights, which are so illusory.

It’s a bit far-fetched, let’s go back to the topic of overseas Chinese. Before the founding of China in 1949, the Strait Chinese basically had no influence among the Chinese in Southeast Asia. Most Chinese followed Tan Kah Kee. The Nanqiao Association established in 1938, The meeting place is located in Singapore, and Tan Kah Kee was elected as the chairman.The conference enumerated all kinds of crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in modern times, and exposed the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese invaders not only to annex China, but also to conquer the world.He also pointed out that the current Chinese nation has reached a critical moment of life and death, and called on the 800 million overseas Chinese in Nanyang to unite sincerely, pledge to support the motherland government, contribute money and efforts, and send more remittances to support the War of Resistance.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing government at that time, overseas Chinese donated a total of more than 13 billion yuan during the eight-year war of resistance, with an average of more than 6000 million yuan per year, of which Nanyang Chinese contributed the largest proportion.

Another item of financial support for the Anti-Japanese War is overseas remittances, that is, overseas Chinese remittances sent back to the motherland to support their relatives, and the amount is larger than donations.From 1937 to 1943, overseas remittances through banks reached as much as 55 billion yuan, an average of about 8 million yuan per year! After 1942, various places in Nanyang were occupied one after another, and remittances and donations were forced to stop.

In addition, overseas Chinese made considerable contributions to the motherland’s war of resistance in terms of material resources. As of 1940, according to incomplete statistics, a total of 210 aircraft, 27 tanks, and 3000 ambulances were donated. In addition, there were a large number of medicines, raincoats, Rubber shoes and other supplies.In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, sea routes were blocked, and a large number of overseas strategic materials supporting the motherland’s Anti-Japanese War could only be transported by the Burma Road. At that time, there was a shortage of domestic mechanics and cars, and transportation was very difficult. Recruit more than 300 experienced, skilled and courageous mechanics from Singapore, Malaysia and other places, and donate more than [-] cars.

These overseas Chinese mechanics bid farewell to relatives and friends in Southeast Asia with patriotic enthusiasm, and returned to the southwest of the motherland. On the extremely rugged and dangerous transportation line for thousands of miles, they overcame all kinds of unimaginable difficulties and transported all kinds of urgently needed strategic materials in China. The average daily amount was more than [-] tons. , the total volume of transportation is quite considerable over time.There are also many Nanyang Chinese who directly returned to China to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japan. The most famous of them was General Ye Fei of the Republic, who was originally an overseas Chinese in the Philippines.

After the Anti-Japanese War to 1949, the traditional Chinese in Nanyang experienced a very painful period, because most of them did not understand the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. For them, as long as they recognized China, partisanship was very strange to them. Because what they know the most, apart from the righteousness of the Chinese nation, is business, and they generally know nothing about politics.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, the traditional Chinese in Nanyang were still very confused, but the ensuing Korean War made them very excited.In just five years, China has transformed from a weak country that was easily bullied by a small Japan to an eastern power that can defeat the number one power, the United States. The appeal of New China is also growing among Chinese in Southeast Asia.

However, since the Bandung Conference, the Chinese government canceled the dual nationality policy in order to ease relations with Southeast Asian countries, and the Chinese in Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines have also begun to actively integrate into their own societies, especially Thailand and the Philippines. There are very few Chinese. From the name and language, it is difficult to tell who is Chinese.And this also gave a good excuse for the few Chinese in the Straits at that time, and took the opportunity to develop and grow stronger.
