I don't know what are you talking Yes overseas Chinese help fund the Xinghai rebellion . Sun Yat Sen, Kang Youwei all of them get funding from overseas Chinese Here what George Yeo said
Singapore’s relationship with China
Because of its Chinese population, Singapore has a very special relationship with China. In the 19th century, the Opium War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (太平天国), the Boxer Rebellion (义和拳) — every major event in China affected people in Singapore. Kang Youwei, Sun Yat-sen all came to Singapore, all spoke to Chinese people here who were caught up in the Chinese drama. Many of the uprisings preceding the Xinhai Revolution were organised in Singapore and in Penang. And when later the Communist Party was formed in China, the Communist Party was formed in Singapore and Malaya. When the communists and Kuomintang fought in China, they fought here. When they were united, they were united here. When China fought Japan, people here raised money to help China fight Japan and sent volunteers to China to help fight Japan. When the Japanese army came to Singapore, they killed many Chinese because it was all part of one conflict. So later, when China became the PRC, China continued to support local communist parties in Southeast Asia. It was only after Deng Xiaoping’s visit in 1978, that the position changed and China stopped supporting local communist parties.Who said we looked down on relative in China OCBC(Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation) Is one of 5 foreign bank who still operate in China after liberation in 1949 until now. They were instrumental in sending money to the relative in China There is youtube video about it.
No Chinese script in both Malaysia and Singapore follow mainland Jiangdan(simplified) script and not Taiwan old script . The same with pronunciation they don't follow mopo Taiwan
What KMT founded the MCA WRONG! It was a peranakan Tan Cheng Lock who founded the MCA in order to secure Chinese language and culture will be protected in Malaysia
Tan Cheng Lock, also spelled Tan Cheng-lock, (born April 5, 1883, , Straits Settlements [now in Malaysia]—died Dec. 8, 1960, Malacca, Malaya), Malaysian Chinese leader, politician, and businessman.
Born into a wealthy Straits Chinese family with shipping and plantation interests, Tan Cheng Lock was an early beneficiary of the of Malaya under colonial rule. He invested especially in and banking. He also acquired great familiarity with the classical European philosophers and in later life frequently used his knowledge to enliven his political discourse.
He first entered public life through the Straits Chinese British Association during and in 1923 was appointed to the Legislative Council of the , emerging there as the most outspoken of local Chinese leaders. Campaigning against the “pro-Malay” policy of the time, he argued for a united (and eventually self-governing) Malayan society in which all ethnic groups, immigrant as well as , would have . In 1933 he became the first Asian member of the Straits Settlements Executive Council, in part, perhaps, because of his support of the government’s ban on the Kuomintang the previous year and his strongly expressed view that Malayan Chinese should be loyal only to Malaya.
Singapore kept their training base in Taiwan out of courtesy. Because they remember who answer the call for help when nobody else answer. You don't cast away old friend because you have new friend. Loyalty to a friend is following confucius teaching. I remember during Chen Shuibian administration the present PM LHL went to Taiwan to warn him personally not to declare independent It cause a rift with Taiwan at that time
Some resistance to the policy... Hopefully it will grow soon.
As for the argument above: yes it is time to end the non interference policy. It is a silly policy. The SEA Chinese need to be protected, everywhere in SEA we have been looted and slighted and massacred. It will obviously upset the natives of course but they will learn to adapt. Also, people in SEA are already fully aware and terrified of the power and wealth of China, we need to work on other aspects, less direct things such as apoltical entertainment and heritage. Every Chinese person who uses Western things unnecessarily, Western alphabet and writing direction, Western utensils and Western clothing, art and architecture, luxury brands, do you realise that we are silently acknowledging the superiority of the West?

I think one of the main reasons behind this is Delta variant. Cambodia is also in deep pond of the pandemic too with history high of case surge up to 1130 case the day before yesterday. Our Ministry of Health said that we have passed the red line of the pandemic. The health system may collapse.
Infections and deaths have also dropped dramatically in Mexico despite low vaccination rates. No doubt vaccines have helped in the US, but it is very difficult to tell how much of the drop in infections should be attributed to vaccines and how much to other factors, e.g. weather.

Vietnam has their own variant, first thought to be a hybrid between the Alpha (UK) and the Delta variant. However that was later debunked, and the new variant is now considered a strain of the Delta.
CCP was once a real communist party. it classified people as classes. it didn't support oversea Chinese, it only supported oversea communist movements. also because of the legacy between oversea Chinese and the KMT in Taiwan, ccp used to look at oversea chinese with suspicions.

I'm not so sure about the variant in Vietnam but in Cambodia, there's one thing I feel strange and government never explain; from the first patient found in Cambodia in March 2020 to Feb 2021, the government never prepared for any death case. But since the third wave (we call it the "Feb 20 community infection event". The main source is migrant workers come back from Thailand), the government started to prepare cremation equipment and site. We have 660 death since then. The government knew and expected it to happen. What's the real story behind that?
Yeah sorry, this is not a particularly good take on Indonesian Chinese situation. and I'm speaking from perspective of an Indonesian Chinese still with lots of family and relatives back in indonesia and Singapore. but I dun wish to repeat the same thing ad nauseam when people keep bringing up same nonsense criticism of China's non interference. So we will just agree to disagree. Cuz it gotten boring for me to explain Everytime.
