Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

Indeed.

China: 99% Chinese, $6800 GDP per capita. Much lower than Singapore.

Those stats would really feed that fanatic nationalism in China, the population of which is probably best described as "misguided".
