A screenshot was shared on Reddit in a long line of comments explaining to a netizen by the username of ‘taotai’ that Singapore is not part of China.

Even with so much information on the internet, there are still so many people that are confused. Previously a Twitter post went viral after a woman assumed Singapore is China.
Here is a rough translation:
TaoTai: His father says Singapore doesn’t belong to China?
TaoTai: Arrest him
Coffin Icon: Singapore is not part of China

TaoTai: Then why speak Mandarin? Since ancient times the land (Singapore) belongs to China.
Coffin Icon: You can understand English? Why do China students need to learn English? The students from England?

Here are what netizens think:
- By that argument, Russia and Ukraine, along with most of China should go back to the Mongolian Khanate…. Since ancient time, right? Or let’s go back even further, we should all be subjects to the African Union, cradle of humanity and all that… Since ancient times, right?Â
- Yeah so my history teacher (indian) was in Europe and was eating in a restaurant. The waiter went to ask where were they from and why she (history teacher) could speak perfect English. She said she was from Singapore. The waiter said ” There’s no way you’re from Singapore. It’s in china. How do you expect me to believe you.” He wouldn’t give her the food unless she told him where she really was from. So in the end she just said she was from Pakistan lol.
- when you don’t learn geography and history of another country well enough
- Yeah they really don’t. I’m American when I tell people I live in Singapore they ask me what China’s like.
- The entire world belongs to China in their mind
