I don't know. Ask her:
I love Chinese women.
She's from Singapore.
Singaporeans ARE Chinese-so are TAIWANESE.
ermm...Singapore is at the bottom of the Malaysian peninsula. Singaporeans are technically Malaysians, not Chinese. Singapore was never a part of China.
Chinese in Singapore are people of Chinese descent who are born in or immigrated to Singapore and have attained citizenship or permanent residence status. As of 2000, Chinese Singaporeans constitute 78% of Singapore's population, or approximately three out of four Singaporeans.
Chinese in Singapore today commonly recognize themselves as Singaporeans rather than Chinese. Some Chinese have married Peranakans, who are Chinese in ethnicity but somewhere in their ancestorial line, they had married ethnic Malays. They had thus developed a culture of their own comprising a mixture of Chinese and Malay culture.
