主题: 中国人认为新加坡人是中国人吗？

Do the Chinese believe Singaporeans are Chinese?

答主：Bobby Chong, Lives in Singapore (1964–present)

I assume your question is referring to Singaporean Chinese.
我假设你的问题是关于新加坡华人的。

In Singapore not all Chinese though are the majority. There are other races too; Malay, Indian, Eurasian and others. The Chinese (China) know there are Chinese in Singapore call the overseas Chinese. Many Chinese migrate to Singapore because they know is easier to adapt in Singapore as a Chinese. And the Chinese have relatives in Singapore till today.
虽然华人在新加坡是主体民族，但新加坡不只有华人。这里还有其他民族：马来人、印度人、欧亚混血儿和其他人。中国的华人知道新加坡也有华人，他们被称为海外华人。许多中国人移居新加坡是因为他们知道作为华人在新加坡更容易适应。而部分中国人至今在新加坡还有亲戚。

Lee Kuan Yew is well received in China, and they know he is Chinese.
李光耀在中国有良好的形象，而他们都知道李光耀是华人。

So my answer is not they believe, is they know.
所以我的回答是，不是他们认为，而是他们知道。
