Why are there so many overseas Chinese in Singapore?

In the Qing Dynasty, people in Guangdong and Fujian were relatively poor, so they went to work in Malaysia, then a British colony, to earn money. The second batch was occupied by the Japanese, and China people were put to work as coolies. The third group went to live in Singapore through various effective means. The Chinese in Hong Kong also died at that time. It's just a fishing village with few people. Later, the British brought prosperity and the number increased.

When Malays and China were at odds, Singapore split from Malaysia. There are 400 million Chinese in Singapore now, but their street signs are all in English, which is very dizzy. There are more than 8 million Chinese in Malaysia! ! There are 3 million Chinese in the United States, more than 2 million in Canada and almost 2 million in Australia. Most of them are immigrants from relatives, so there is no level there. They can only open a small shop to buy food from China, or open a fruit shop, be a fishmonger and so on! There are one million Japanese, most of whom are from Taiwan Province Province! Indonesia doesn't know! There are many other odds and ends! There are 300,000 Chinese in Britain, mainly from Hong Kong. When Hong Kong returned to China that year, all Hong Kong citizens immigrated to Britain.
