Some overseas chinese (including some Singaporeans of chinese descent) think that it is the West vs. China, especially now with the "rise of China". May i respectfully suggest that you pay a visit to the 晚晴园. If you have children, all the more we must bring them there !
民主 (Democracy) and 人权 (Human Rights) speaks of human dignity and they are not alien to the Chinese people.
The important thing is to discern between western "imperialist" hegamonic greed vis a vis universal values of human dignity, and again to discern between blind patriotism of the chinese people/diaspora (of a siege mentality) vis a vis universal values of human dignity.
They are playing us against each other, in this time and age, we must be very discerning. Our shared end is to achieve peace and progress for all 老白姓 (common man & women).
