    I agree, but he were Indian or Malay or Caucasian (which are all pretty big populations in Singapore), would he have asked that questions? I doubt it.

      Probably. That or, a least a variation of it, has been a standard question at Senate inquiries since the late 1940s.

        Yeah the question about whether he's ever been a member of the Chinese Communist Party is like if someone asked a white-looking person from Brazil (and never been a citizen of the US), "Have you ever been a member of the US Congress?"

          Correct.

            No, that's like asking the CEO of Microsoft if he's ever been a US Citizen.

            Holy cow!

                  Are you now, or have you ever been.....?

                  From time to time Americans ask me whether I'm Irish or Australian, presumably because they struggle to hear the subtle nuances that distinguish these accents from my light Lancashire brogue.

                  I was only joking

                      Well, like Mik said, a good lawyer will never ask a question he doesn't know the answer to. And if he did know the answer, why ask the question?

                        Cotton's questions:

                        "Is TikTok under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party?"

                        Cotton goes on and on connecting Chew to the CCP.

                        Link to video

                        And then, about halfway through, he gets into the citizenship comments. After that, he starts, for some unknown reason, asking about Tiannamin (sp?) Square and Chinese genocide.
