Which countries did, for example, Singapore invade and start slaughtering?
- testrun 13y agoOr South Korea. I know South Korea was invaded, but cannot remember they started slaughtering people before becoming rich.
- w1ntermute 13y agoA lot of SK's economic growth was the result of supplying goods to the US military post-Korean War. And the US military did plenty of slaughtering, such as in Vietnam. The South Korean military also played a not-insignificant role in that clusterfuck.
- alexeisadeski3 13y agoMy favorite example would be Taiwan. Kicked out of their home country, yet they thrive.
- sliverstorm 13y agoIt's the other way around, I believe. Some of the citizens are exiles from China, but as for Taiwan they declared independence. China wants them back, they don't want to go back into the fold. At least, that's what I've been told.
- brazzy 13y agoIt's a lot more complex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_taiwan#Political_status_and_the_major_camps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_taiwan#Political_st... Taiwan has very emphatically not declared independance.
- pessimizer 13y agoYou mean that East India Company trading post? It's an ex-colony that has been run by the same dictatorship since independence.
- EliRivers 13y agoNo, I mean the other Singapore. Of course I fucking mean the former British empire trading post. Do you have a relevant point to make, or are you just desperate to show that you've heard of foreign countries?
