A militia woman in Chinese parade becomes controversial

According to Xinhua News this morning, recently, Zhang Yuanyuan, who took part in the parade on Chinese National Day (1st October) as a member of a militia became a controversial figure in Singapore.


Her emotional words "Beijing is my real home, my biggest wish is to serve my country" under the identity of 'Singapore permanent resident' made people in Singapore feel uncomfortable.


The media, as well as the public expressed their mistrust to the immigrants definitely.


Frankly speaking, I think there is no need for Singapore people to worry about the immigrants' loyalty, at least Zhang Yuanyuan is not the case.


Being a permanent resident is different from being a citizen of Singapore.


Both of China and Singapore do not admit dual nationality.


Hence, although Zhang is the permanent resident, she is still the citizen of China. As a result, what is wrong with her words?


Furthermore, I always think people like Zhang could be a good transmitter between two countries, sharing cultures, changing ideas, and promoting the development in various fields.
