Why are there so many Chinese in Singapore?
There are historical reasons. At present, there are more Chinese mainly because the Singapore government stipulates that at least 75% Chinese should be guaranteed.

Because of the aging population, Singapore is now vigorously introducing talents, among which China has the largest number.

A few years ago, the Singapore government proposed that all Chinese schools should offer Chinese courses, so many people can speak Chinese. In some public service organizations, such as subways, buses and tourist attractions, most staff can speak Chinese. Even Indians who exchange foreign exchange in Chinatown speak standard Chinese. Singapore is an island country, located in the south of Malay Peninsula, consisting of Singapore Island and its nearby islands, and it is a shipping channel between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Johor Strait, 65,438+0.2 km wide, is separated from Malay Peninsula in the north. Connected by long dikes, cars and trains can pass through, with a total area of 647.5km2 Because the poor in modern China had no way to live, they went down to Nanyang to survive. China had a tradition of going to Nanyang as early as the Ming Dynasty, especially those who founded the southern part of Vladivostok in the north in modern times. Nanyang is now Southeast Asia, so many overseas Chinese there are not a country but a colony, and then overseas Chinese naturally live together. They once formed Malaysia with Malaysia and later became independent. It has no legal status in New China, and the official language is English. Chinese is rare, but most people in China can speak Minnan dialect and Hakka dialect. Other Southeast Asian Chinese are very common.
