A lot have this rosy view of the 'fatherland'. I reckon it's usually the 2nd generation Singaporean Chinese who are the most 'patriotic', my generation and younger have minimal connections to China.

I was a little surprised at how many pro-Chinese demonstrators there were in San Francisco. Most of the Chinese I met growing up spoke Cantonese. While they had a fair amount of pride in being Chinese, the families generally fled violence / poverty / communism / persecution of some sort. I could be underestimating sentiment but I would not generally expect them to counter-demonstrate Tibetans. I hope the vandals get caught and punished.
