Look, I really want to agree with you, and I very much agree that Chinese people do sometimes laugh out of agreement, but I sincerely doubt you are correct here.
Okay, I just want to say one more thing about this, and do not want talk about it anymore.
Lee Kwan Yiu, everyone knew his politics. Everyone. That was why he was popular, not just in Singapore, but in other places too.
So Lee Kwan Yiu says the obvious, obvious to him, and obvious to others, and this audience laughed.
You are saying they are laughing at him, and not laughing with him.
This point, is new to me, I almost tempted to use the word revisionism!
That is not how I remember things.
They only people who might have laughed at Prime Minister Lee, probably would have been the Brits, but they had to temper that because he was so respected by the Americans.
Furthermore, it is no secret that Western leaders and politicians just did not like this guy, because Lee Kwan Yiu did things his own way, and promoted his own kind. No doubt about it. You know how Trump is America first, Lee was Chinese first. Still that way in Singapore, he implemented the policy of having the same multicultural mixed, with Chinese 72% majority, permanently.
