Isn't it expected. After all those are having the same nationality and if they get richer, it will contribute to China. As for Chinese in Malaysia, even if they get rich, they will not really contribute to China unless you're super rich like Robert Kuok who invest in China.
There's a lot of misconception about being proud of China. There are a lot of people are proud because the land of their ancestors are no longer the sick man of Asia and no matter how you want to view it, China's status in the world will affect all Chinese in the world regardless of their nationality.
Then there are a lot who say those who say good things about China are brainwashed but in reality, who is actually brainwashed? Sure, China is no democracy, and it has never said it is democracy. It is just that for the past few decades, they have found a system that works very well for them. Is the system without flaws? Definitely no but is it as bad as what the mainstream media report about it?
Like in this case. If China really managed to break the monopoly of the west, is it really a bad thing to us? Is it such a bad thing to the world? Why is this type of achievements being brush aside as mere copycat?
The biggest problem in a lot of forums is people like to label people certain terms just because they don't have the same viewpoint as them. Hence, you get all sorts of labels in forums and a lot of people take it too serious in forums like k. I don't even mind people call me wumao but some people get really agitated when people label them certain terms. After all, why so serious, right?
Everyday propaganda is not the same as having different viewpoint.
