Since when has Singapore become such a heartless, communist-supporting nation? Its people are being misled by Foreign Minister George Yeo, who, according to media reports, has also somehow misled the world into thinking that "Taiwan and China split in 1949 at the end of a civil war and Beijing continues to view the island as part of its territory."
The fact is this: Taiwan was ceded to Japan by the Qing Dynasty in 1895, which had absolutely nothing to do with the civil war between the Nationalists and Communists in China. Read the constitutions of both the Republic of China (founded 1912) and the People's Republic of China (founded 1949), and you will know that Taiwan has never been a territory of either one.
Sadly, Singapore needs to kowtow to China to such an extent that it curries favor with China at the expense of Taiwan.
The Taiwanese fought the Japanese when Japan was in Taiwan. And the Taiwanese madea great effort to fight the KMT when the KMT came to Taiwan. So why should Taiwan have to fight with Singapore, when Singapore has never been and will not be in Taiwan?
As I understand, most of us speak same languages [sic]. Therefore, Web site forums like www.taiwanus.net and www.taiwanyes.com should help Singaporeans learn more about what Taiwan is today.

Congratulations to China’s working class — they have officially entered the “Livestock Feed 2.0” era. While others are still researching how to achieve healthy and balanced diets, China has already evolved to the point where it does not matter whether you are actually eating food, as long as you can swallow it. There is no need for cooking, chewing or making decisions — just tear open a package, add some hot water and in a short three minutes you have something that can keep you alive for at least another six hours. This is not science fiction — it is reality.
A foreign colleague of mine asked me recently, “What is a safe distance from potential People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force’s (PLARF) Taiwan targets?” This article will answer this question and help people living in Taiwan have a deeper understanding of the threat. Why is it important to understand PLA/PLARF targeting strategy? According to RAND analysis, the PLA’s “systems destruction warfare” focuses on crippling an adversary’s operational system by targeting its networks, especially leadership, command and control (C2) nodes, sensors, and information hubs. Admiral Samuel Paparo, commander of US Indo-Pacific Command, noted in his 15 May 2025 Sedona Forum keynote speech that, as
In a world increasingly defined by unpredictability, two actors stand out as islands of stability: Europe and Taiwan. One, a sprawling union of democracies, but under immense pressure, grappling with a geopolitical reality it was not originally designed for. The other, a vibrant, resilient democracy thriving as a technological global leader, but living under a growing existential threat. In response to rising uncertainties, they are both seeking resilience and learning to better position themselves. It is now time they recognize each other not just as partners of convenience, but as strategic and indispensable lifelines. The US, long seen as the anchor
Kinmen County’s political geography is provocative in and of itself. A pair of islets running up abreast the Chinese mainland, just 20 minutes by ferry from the Chinese city of Xiamen, Kinmen remains under the Taiwanese government’s control, after China’s failed invasion attempt in 1949. The provocative nature of Kinmen’s existence, along with the Matsu Islands off the coast of China’s Fuzhou City, has led to no shortage of outrageous takes and analyses in foreign media either fearmongering of a Chinese invasion or using these accidents of history to somehow understand Taiwan.
