I'm just guessing from your Chinese-centric view of things. In any case, you are free to form and hold your opinion of the world you see. You certainly have strong opinions, and from our interaction I get the feeling you have the make up to become a real dragon lady.

Cheers.

Cheers! icarus618 Yes I am a Chinese but I am not from Mainland China ( not even born there ) but i have strong feelings for China, maybe because I studied Chinese Literature and work and live in China. ( My job requires me based in China, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore ) You have a nice day ! Cheers

Quote from icarus618:

There is already something like that - the E5 immigrant investor visa. It is not well known that there is a path to permanent residence and citizenship if you pay enough money to the U.S. ($1 million or $500,000 in targeted zones and have 10 full-time employees within 2 years). Some cash strapped cities in southern California have cookie cutter deals in place where the investor just needs to cut a check without doing any legwork.

...

better way no money just be a citizen of Federated States of Micronesia then you can migrate for free.

They got a Walmart?

I don't think WMT does well in China. Chinese people shop everyday, they don't stock up. Different shopping patterns. At least that's what my cement guy told me. He does some concrete work overseas.

Walmart in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou etc doing well.
People working in the cities don't have time to shop everyday. Only house wives have time to shop everyday.

Sorry you are wrong again Sir, I am Not from mainland China, I hold 2 passports. Singapore was a dirt poor fishing village with few Malays .. Many Chinese from Mainland China and Indian from India, all dirt poor with empty handed came to Singapore to work and settle down.. LKY was chased out by Malaysia in 1965 got independence leading Singapore from third world to first world because there are lot of hard working Chinese who toiled with hardships to build Singapore.

That is propaganda. The chinese were brought so that Singapore be sloten from the Malays who are the original people's of singapore. When the Japanese defeated the British in Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew
worked for his Japanese masters, while it was a Malay who stood to fight the Japanese until the ultimate sacrifice --- What is the name of that Malay man (Adnan Bin something)?

The reason Singapore is rich is its location at the center of trade routes. The chinese majority brings chinese immigrants to sustain the chinese majority.

Productivity in Singapore is low. They bring in cheap low skill labor to keep increasing their GDP. It must have created high profits for government and for companies, and the inflation must be rising.

Singapore ( Singapura ) island was part of Malaysia ( Malaya ) till 1965 ..and the Native of Malaya ( Malaysia ) is Orang Asli not Malays .. Today, you can still find some Orang Asli in Malaysia.

During the Japanese Occupation, the Chinese and the Malays joined to fought the Japanese in Malaya and Singapura.

Whether you like Singapore or not, it doesn't matter but the true is Singapore rises from 3rd world to 1st world in such a short time.

Sir, if Singapore is so bad, why so many rich people are migrating here buying properties and send their kids to study in Singapore? Jim Roger, Co-founder of facebook Eduardo Saverin moved to Singapore, Jet Li moved his wife and kids from America to Singapore to live and study ..many tycoons from China and Indonesia and Malaysia all buying investing in Singapore properties. If Singapore is so bad, they won't spent millions of dollars to invest in Singapore.
