The Supreme Golden Eye - Chapter 3) Overseas Chinese

To put it in an inhumane way, Indonesians are committing massacres in their own country and have nothing to do with other countries! Can you imagine where the British government is going for the murder of the descendants of British immigrants who became American citizens hundreds of years ago?

Is the U.S. government declaring war? It is simply impossible!

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Shaonan does not feel strange at all about the Chinese government's cold attitude towards the anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia in 1998. Instead, he takes it for granted. [ ] The reason is simple. If this incident is true,

When it was widely reported in China, no one could have predicted the consequences, and no one could bear the responsibility.

In China in the late 1990s, although there were not as many angry youths as there were a dozen years later, they were certainly not a minority. When they learned that their compatriots were bullied by a bunch of Indonesian monkeys abroad, how would they react? March? Demonstrate? Demand.

Government intervention? In short, this matter will definitely make a big fuss, and then the government will be roasted on the fire.

Intervene, no. China has always pursued a foreign policy of not interfering in other countries' internal affairs. It is okay to issue a statement to protest. If it really sends troops to intervene, I am afraid that there will be an international uproar before the fleet here goes to sea. China's life will not be the same.

It's too good. If you continue to toss like this, you won't be able to achieve any substantive results. It's inevitable that you will lose face. When the time comes, you will lose both your face and your face.

Non-interference? Haha, under the huge domestic pressure, the government can't even think of a good life. If it is not handled well, it may trigger social unrest, and it is not impossible to end up in the situation a few years ago. No matter what,

He said that what happened back then was just some students making trouble. If it causes unrest this time, it won't just be students. Maybe many middle-class people in society will also participate!

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 the incident is spread to China later, the limelight will have passed.

, it will be much easier to handle by then. Of course, this is also because today’s network is not developed enough. If it were left more than ten years later, there would be no way to cover up this kind of thing, otherwise it would be spread throughout the country in a few hours.

Everyone knows it!

However, that is to say, even if the vast majority of the Chinese Indonesians today are pro-Taiwanese and their descendants, in the end, aren’t they still brothers of the same race as the Chinese? What if we watch them being killed by a bunch of people?

Ling Shaonan would definitely not feel comfortable if the indigenous monkeys raped and robbed them without any reaction. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, Ling Shaonan still admired overseas Chinese, including Indonesian Chinese.

From an economic perspective, the most successful group of Chinese overseas are the Southeast Asian Chinese.

Among the Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia has a population of 200 million, including about 10 million Chinese, Malaysia has 25 million people, about 6 million Chinese, Thailand has 65 million people, about 9 million Chinese, and Singapore has 300 people.

There are more than 10,000 people, 90% of whom are Chinese. There are 90 million people in the Philippines, and about one million are Chinese, but those with Chinese ancestry account for about 20%.

Perhaps what impresses the world the most about the Chinese in Southeast Asia is their economic strength. For example, 70% of small and medium-sized enterprises in Malaysia are owned by Chinese, including the manufacturing, construction and service industries.

Everyone knows that Arroyo’s husband from the Philippines is Chinese, and Thaksin Shinawatra from Thailand is Chinese. Few people may know that two-thirds of the members of the Thai Parliament are also Chinese. But these Chinese are already the same as some ethnic minorities in China.

It's just that I'm Chinese by blood.

In Southeast Asia, only Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia can truly maintain the Chinese tradition as an ethnic group. Some people once divided the Chinese in these three places into two types, traditional Chinese and Straits Chinese. The former generally speak Chinese and talk about China very much.

Friendly, even claiming to be Chinese, with love

Overseas Chinese Tan Kah Kee is the representative. The latter generally speak English, read the Straits Times in English, are close to the West, and are even ashamed of their Chinese appearance. They are represented by Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore. The psychological changes of the Nanyang Chinese in the past half century have been to varying degrees.

, is the history of change of these two types of Chinese people.

In a sense, the achievements of overseas Chinese far exceed that of all Hong Kong elites led by Li Ka-shing. Hong Kong's prosperity in the past half century has been largely due to the agency fees and trade fees earned by being China's external window.

Most of the rich rely on Hong Kong

As a result, apart from creating a few rich people, the vast majority of Hong Kong people have no benefits. Instead, their lives have become stressful and they can only live in pigeonhole-sized houses as house slaves. Therefore, Ling Shaonan’s view of Hong Kong’s

The rich don't take it seriously.

(This is also one of the reasons why he severely damaged Xu Jinheng’s face last year and forcefully swallowed 200 million Hong Kong dollars from him. You know, after that incident, although no one said anything about it, he and He

The conflict between the two major families, the Xu family and the Xu family, has been planted. Once Ling Shaonan loses power in the future, these two families will definitely be the first to jump out and add insult to injury. But for this issue, Ling Shaonan

Nan was not worried at all, so he had no intention of uprooting the Xu and He families, although that was not a difficult task for him. Don't forget that Hange Investment Management Company still had a lot of money in hand.

As for the stocks of listed companies in Hong Kong, including the industries of Xu and He, with Li Yunqing's financial ability, he can defeat them without Ling Shaonan himself.)

Whether before or after the handover, Hong Kong people have always looked down upon mainlanders. Words like "bumpkin" and "unqualified" are often used by them to describe mainlanders. But ironically, 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 been declining day by day, especially after the re-emergence of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the former financial center of the Far East. Hong Kong's decline is already foreseeable. If it were not for the international free port and

Thanks to the innate geographical advantages, this decline process may be completed in just ten or twenty years. However, most Hong Kong people have not seen this yet, and are still ignorantly voting for the very vague so-called

Quan is indignant.

It's a bit far-fetched, but back to the topic of overseas Chinese, before the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Straits Chinese basically had no influence among the Chinese in Southeast Asia. The vast majority of the Chinese followed Tan Kah Kee and the South Chinese Overseas Chinese Association established in 1938.

The conference was located in Singapore, and Tan Kah Kee was elected as chairman. The conference listed the Japanese invaders in modern times.

The various crimes of invading China revealed the Japanese aggressors' ambition to not only annex China, but also to conquer the world. He also pointed out that the Chinese nation has now reached a critical juncture of life and death, and called on the eight million overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to unite sincerely and swear to support the motherland government and come out.

If you spend more money and send more remittances to support the War of Resistance, the War of Resistance will be won and the founding of the country will be successful.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance of the Nanjing government at that time, overseas Chinese donated a total of more than 1.3 billion yuan during the eight-year war of resistance, with an average of more than 160 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, which are remittances sent by overseas Chinese back to the motherland to support relatives. The amount is larger than donations. From 1937 to 1943 alone, overseas remittances through banks reached 5.5 billion yuan.

More, an average of about 800 million yuan per year! After 1942, various places in Southeast Asia were occupied one after another, and overseas remittances and donations were forced to interrupt.

In addition, overseas Chinese also made considerable contributions to the motherland’s war of resistance in terms of material resources. According to incomplete statistics as of 1940, a total of 217 aircraft, 27 tanks, and 1,000 ambulances were donated, in addition to a large number of

medicines, raincoats, rubber shoes and other supplies. In the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, sea routes were blocked to support the motherland’s Anti-Japanese War.

A large number of overseas strategic materials could only be transported by the Burma Highway. At that time, there was a severe shortage of domestic mechanics and cars, making transportation very difficult. Tan Kah Kee was entrusted by the domestic Southwest Transportation Company to recruit experienced and skilled people from Singapore, Malaysia and other places through the Overseas Chinese Association of South Korea.

, the courage also inspired more than 3,200 Dadi mechanics and donated more than 300 cars.

These overseas Chinese mechanics bid farewell to their relatives and friends in Nanyang with patriotic enthusiasm and returned to the southwest of their motherland. They overcame all kinds of unimaginable difficulties on the extremely rugged and dangerous transportation line and transported various strategic materials that were urgently needed in the country, averaging more than 300 tons per day.

, the total transportation volume is considerable over time. There are also many Nanyang Chinese who directly returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. The most famous among them is General Ye Fei of the Republic, who was originally an overseas Chinese in the Philippines.

From the Anti-Japanese War to 1949, the traditional Chinese people 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, they only needed to recognize China, and partisanship was very unfamiliar to them.

Because what they know most about, 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 people in Nanyang were still very confused, but the ensuing Korean War made them very excited. In just five years, China changed from a weak country that was easily bullied by Japan to a

As a great Eastern country that can defeat the number one power, the United States, New China's appeal is growing among the 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. Chinese in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other places have also begun to actively integrate into their own societies, especially in Thailand and the Philippines. In the traditional sense,

There are very few Chinese people anymore, and it is difficult to tell who is Chinese based on their names and languages. This also gave the Straits Chinese people, who were still very few in number at that time, a good excuse to take the opportunity to develop and grow.
