| @Michael (the 1st one), i don't think it's fair to use Singapore or any other small countries as a comparison for China. If Singapore's land size were as big as China's, do you think the Singapore government would have achieved similar success in governing the land? It's so much easier for a government to govern (and control) a country like Singapore because it's really small, not even 1% of China in terms of land size and population I think. But in China, as the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far in many places. |
