In case people couldn't tell: Singapore is not China

Literally the article is from the South China Morning Post...

But how stupid do you have to be to think that just because the man was born in another country, that he can't be running a company that is backdooring for the Chinese?

We've know for some time that TikTok is a Chinese data-mine. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/tech/tiktok-data-china/index.html

The US doesn't recognize Singapore as sovereign? Membership in the CPC is conditional on being a Chinese citizen.

He's not ignorant, he's a demagogue performing for his ignorant base.

I thought I was going crazy, but no this exact guy had almost this exact same conversation with almost the exact same people back in March of last year.

I hate this. We already have problems with the local government constantly painting any attempt at progressivism as a western import etc. This is just going to add fuel to the flame.

This wasn't just ignorance, this was willful ignorance.
