Has China ever occupied Singapore in history?
China has never occupied Singapore in history, but during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of China immigrated to Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Among them, there are many Chinese immigrants in Singapore, accounting for the majority of the population. So after Singapore became independent from Malaysia, Chinese became the mainstream language.

China and Singapore were independent of each other in ancient times, and China never attacked Singapore.
