近年来,香港和台湾在中国大陆的投资已引起学者们的极大关注,而来自新加坡的投资却受到少得多的注意。新加坡在中国的投资虽比香港或台湾的投资少,但在90年代因得到北京的鼓励而迅速增加。中国也一直扩大它在新加坡的经济活动。 新加坡具有三个特点,使得它同中国的经济交往令人关注。第一,新加坡的居民以华人为主。在1993年年中,新加坡的人口约为287.38万人,其中的77.5％是华人。虽然李光耀和新加坡人民行动党政府一直努力树立新加坡的民族特性并坚持认为新加坡居民是新加坡人而不是华侨,但新加坡的华人特性仍是不可否认的。第二,新加坡是国际社会承认的一个独立国家。
In recent years, Hong Kong and Taiwan’s investments in mainland China have drawn great attention from scholars, while investments from Singapore have received much less attention. Although Singapore invested less in China than Hong Kong or Taiwan, it increased rapidly in the 1990s with Beijing’s encouragement. China has also been expanding its economic activities in Singapore. Singapore has three characteristics that make it an economic concern with China. First, residents in Singapore are predominantly Chinese. In mid-1993, Singapore had a population of about 2.8738 million, of whom 77.5% were Chinese. Although Lee Kuan Yew and the People’s Action Party of Singapore have been striving to establish the national identity of Singapore and insist that Singaporeans are Singaporeans rather than overseas Chinese, Singapore’s Chinese identity is still undeniable. Second, Singapore is an independent country recognized by the international community.
