According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore) the most common nationality of Singapore is actually Chinese, followed closely by Indian, Malay, and British, so logically you could say Singapore is a "Chinese" city even though it isn't actually in China. Its all because Singapore, even though its logically a free-sovereign independent nation, doesn't really have its own "nationality", because it was settled by many other nations (most notably the British). Its kind of like everybody in America isn't really American, unless you are Native American, because everybody's ancestors came here from elsewhere. So yeah. /shrug
