This should be an eye-opener to Singaporeans, especially those who are "kentang" (Malay word for "potato") i.e. those who are pro-US and pro-Western countries and speak with an ang moh accent.
This observation is made by STOMPer Jiayu, who says that pro-Western Singaporeans (and SPGs who throw themselves at ang moh men) better start speaking Chinese with a Beijing accent, if you look at how powerful China has become in all areas -- economic, social, military, societal.
He adds that even arrogant Taiwanese who think their country can stand on its own are facing up to the realities of making peace with China. The Taiwan economy is practically dependent on the Chinese one.
Compared to what it is going on in China, everything we do is simply small-scale.
It's frightening but we all better start brushing up our putonghua, says Jiayu.
