Lee Hsien Loong said that Singapore should insist on promoting Chinese. Besides the large population in China, what are the reasons?

Lee Hsien Loong insists on promoting Chinese in Singapore, not only because there are many Chinese in Singapore, but also for the better development of Singapore. I hope that Chinese in Singapore will always remember their roots.

Singapore, located in Asia, is an immigrant country. The main races are Chinese, Indians and Malays; It is the fourth largest international financial center in the world, so it is also called one of the four little dragons in Asia. Because there are many Chinese in Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore, advocated the use of Chinese in people's communication and organized a campaign to speak Chinese.

Lee Hsien Loong, adhering to the concept of the first Prime Minister, continued to unremittingly promote the "Speak Chinese" campaign. He believes that speaking Chinese is not only because there are many Chinese in Singapore, but because Chinese is a bridge between Singaporeans. Singaporeans have a high level of education, but the ethnic complexity leads to language disunity and inconvenient communication. Promoting Chinese has solved this problem well.

At the same time, promoting Chinese is also beneficial to the development of Singapore. As the fourth largest financial center in the world, Singapore's main trade target is China, and China is now in a state of rapid development. In order to connect with the fast-developing China and achieve the goal of common development, it is necessary for Singapore to promote Chinese, which is more conducive to the exchanges between China and Singapore.

One more thing, Singapore belongs to a region called Nanyang. In modern China, many China people went to Nanyang, which is now Singapore and other places to do business and trade, and many people settled there. Therefore, promoting Chinese in Singapore is also a constant reminder to Singaporeans not to forget their roots and ancestors.
