All US presidents always said there is “no change in one China policy’”… but each time the US insidiously trying out new and further steps on encouraging, enticing Taiwan to be on the independence side. Very mean and shameless.
AND WHAT WILL SINGAPORE DO ONCE CHINA DECOUPLES WITH U.S. AND THE GREATER MAJORITY OF THE WORLD SIDES WITH CHINA??? SIR,THE WORLD IS AWARE OF ALL THE GREEDY MINDEDNESS OF THE U.S. CAPITALISTIC HEGEMONIC DREAMS...HOW WILL SINGAPORE WORK UP THE HUMILITY TO APOLOGIZE???

Over 30 years ago a Japanese manager adviced me: " beware anglosphere (5 "eye") countries because they master three complementary strengths:
1) They very effectively turn world opinion on their side as being natural expression of "goodness".
2) If that is not effective they don't hesitate going to war for which they are always well prepared in advance.
3) In war, avoid fighting in their own territory to minimize civilian casualties and damage to country infrastructure.
the entire world knows their lies and tricks. This is why Multi-polarity will be of great benefit to the most of the world.

Bingo! You have hit the nail on the head. This is why you keep hearing "experts" like John Joseph Mearsheimer an American political scientist who keeps alluding to the fact the US has "stop and save" the world by defeating three "despotic cataclysmic precipice" single-handedly. More important the US has not only ended up victorious but came out stronger. Whereas countries like China does not have that experienced. However, what John Mearsheimer forgets to tell is that all these "American victories" took place on other people territories. America and Americans did not have to face the horrors of wars - the destruction, deaths, disruptions etc. One they face war on American soil, maybe John Mearsheimer won't be so "brave" about America being invincible!

Great talk! I love Kishore Mahbubani when he speaks to arrogant Westerners, especially Western intellectuals he speaks on behalf of the opinions of the non-Western world, especially the opinions of Asians, and he normally wins his arguments with the arrogant Westerners.
As a Chinese, this Western moderator is not too bad 😅
It's the 5 eyes led by the US that is most arrogant. They always say they care about the freedom of speech of those people in the countries they are against. But in truth, they just want to hurt those countries because they are competing for some resource that they cannot easily take without paying full price. If they really cared about individual people, then they would start with looking after their citizens using their own resources without trying to grab at the resources of others. It's like ftx being able to be generous with other people's money. And at the same time pocketing some of it for themselves. When it costs them personally, they can no longer be so generous.
@@physika yes, there are some westerners with very fair opinions. At the moment they are a minority simply due to the unfair china reports created by the US and the legacy media.

He was absolutely right about anglo Saxons versus as others. You can see that in wars created with them and their constant refusal to understand that the world is moving away from them.
In the 1980s the West used to call the fast rising economies of Asia (Japan, Taiwan, S.Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore) as "Little Tigers". In the 1990s, China, and Malaysia grew fast. In 2010s Vietnam and Indonesia showed fast growth. During all of those decades Western countries experienced no growth. In 2020, Asia's total GDP has surpassed Western Europe.
China alone has surpassed European union in 2020 in terms of total GDP. Not just western Europe.
In 2021, China's GDP alone at $18 trillion surpassed EU's GDP $14.09 trillion. Using Purchasing Power Parity, China's GDP is even higher and exceed that of the U.S.
If I were the West, I would break this Asia's rise by making/provoking Asia in-fighting, for example, make India fight China, make Taiwan fight China, make SK/Japan fight NK...

It’s shame that Dr Mahbubani is not known to most Canadians as they are so much having their heads wrapped with Anglo Saxons media. Dr Mahbubani is an excellent speaker and a wise man.
He is a Professor who wears many hats.
Professor Mahbubani has been always eloquent, convincing, Intelligent and insightful. The West elites definitely should take notes when Professor Mahbubani speaks.

Decoupling between US and China might likely mean decoupling between US and the world, well said!
Excellent insights shared by one of the best in business Kishore Mahbubani 😍
Chinese people in Taiwan should not be used like Ukraine. Better to quickly limit damage by uniting with mainland - not only to restore/correct historical order. Hong Kongers have not lost anything; those who left for UK are not better off than those they left (do they vote in UK?)
Those that left for the UK are worse off than those that stayed back.
No
Great insight from Kishore! In my view, Asia Pacific will be the most important region from economic standpoint in this century, next would be North America, Europe will keep falling with no end in sight.
I have seen many Chinese commenters say this about Europe that it will decline. I know you are saying this because of the huge influx of migrants. You guys are something else. Europe would actually fall without the migrants. They are about to have a large aging population that needs care and people to fill up that void so that their pension system does not collapse. Then they are about to see some people leave when the global south starts developing another possibility for collapse. Then they have issues with their election system and rise of the extreme right which everyone knows the extreme right is nationalist and sometimes socialist. Socialist, nationalist, conservative regimes tend to stumble the economic growth of a nation, because their way of thinking limits creativity and thus people that want to create new concepts. So I do not even know what you are saying. Both Europe and the US will not collapse. If one collapse the other collapses. You are funny.
This professor is one the most intelligent human-being in the world.
The most prize statement I heard was 15:28 “ Europe think Europe problem are the world problem, the world problems are not Europe problems “
Short and clear statement to conclude the attitude born by the western ever since the first Industrial Revolution begin. 👏👏👏
However, I feel the statement is incomplete and could have been better because clearly we are missing one very important country. The one across the Atlantic.
Amazing show. Smart host and guest. It’s always worthy to watch multi-times.

If I'm the president or pm or company boss, surely I'll appoint my men who are firstly loyal and capable. Of course its stupid to appoint someone that goes against you even though he's very very smart. NOPE. Looks like those Anglo-Saxons medias are plain stupid, yes but NO. 💰🤑🤭🙈🇺🇲

The Anglo-Saxon media only reserve their "sincerely out-of-character" good advice to select appointees that are against the leadership for China. This is because they "really" luv China very much more than their own families and friends.
Don't you already know this?? 🤣🤣
Anybody else notice how the host (crabtree) assumed automatically it was a Russian missile that went into Poland, when it was in fact a Ukrainian missile. The West is so biased, it's comical.
Well said!
Collective west is living in their colonial days!! Orang puteh!
It’s not America backing off from Taiwan but the Taiwanese people voted not to be mislead and used by America to wage proxy war against China similar to Ukraine against Russia. ASEAN will move closer towards China similar to Middle East.
Nope
This conversation is very insightful, many thanks.
Nah. Sanctions on Russia wasn't well-received by Singaporeans. Many pointed to Israel-Palestine and the fact that we were very likely pressured by the US to side with them in this instance, in return for neutrality on China.
Singapore's CNA has became BBC lately, helping to smear China.
Just copy Indonesian President and defence minister said to the west, "Stop dictacting, Stop intervering our domestic issue, Stop said my standart is better then yours, start to nake cooperation and work together for peace and better world, remember that the west enemy is not necessary our enemy too.". Bravo Indonesia ♥️😆👍🇮🇩
Kishore is very smart and neutral ..because his neutrality he can see the weakness and the stregth , therefore he gets the solution and recommendation on how to solve the problem ..😁😊👍👍👍
@sunnyday9331 do enlighten us. Do you some info on that?
"... most likely a Russian missile." Oh dear! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Im so glad that my family has survived COVID-19 now in BJ...Well said, professor
True to earth opinions expressed by Kishore.
Prof Kishore, every time you expound on a concept, I hv to rewind and listen to it again, to understand it.
Why be jealous or defame Asian countries who are better at developments than the western countries ?
It's a democratic freedom of trade and global mutual friendliness.
The minds of the US/west say "no one should be better than us, back off or you will get sanctions and bombs."
Fuck China
Amazing talk! Quite insightful!
Kishore is most influential speaker on Asia on earth so far.
Always enjoy the wise words of Kishore
Kishore should skip answering about sgingaporean view on singapore sanction. Majority dont care, and those who care are against it. Government reason of the rightness is rubbish, what did SGP do when US invaded Iraq against the UN charter. SGP didnt sanction US, but supported US by sending in medical team to support.
Fully agree with you.
Don't be fooled by the anti-China rhetorics, Taiwan's ruling DDP party has never been serious about Taiwan's Independence movement during its 6 year reign. Most of us living in Taiwan have wised up to DDP's vote-grabbing tactic by claiming Taiwan's sovereignty while poking at Mainland China instead of cooperating with them for the greater good of our economy & stability. The recent local election in Taiwan saw DDP soundly thrashed by KMT candidates and president Tsai stepping down from DDP chairmanship.
改课纲，花钱游说美国引狼入室，养着庞大的网军每天抹黑中国，反送中，香港暴乱，拼命买武器没反中？
Glad to see Taiwanese public wised up and refused to be used as proxy for external power competition or ended up as cannon fodder.
@@bobguard there's still going to be war.
DPP has infiltrated the educational instituation and made the young generation all to be anti-china and pro DPP. They're forward looking in controlling the media. They're looking to a permanant one party rule like Ghana, Japan and Singapore. As far as I observed, they're close to success if not because of US rising tension with China. You're too complacent within your comfort zone.

A well travelled man is a very intelligent man 👨
I like Kishore, too.
Wonderful talks !
Very impressive interview.
In the current state, I'm not sure the US, as a nation, is capable of long term strategies. There is frequent change of government officials every 2 -6 years, often replaced by people of dissimilar ideologies and goals. On top of that, officials that are put in charge have decreased in quality significantly over the past 5 to 10 years, so much so that many of these people would never have been elected to hold government positions in practically any other country. Frankly, and I'm serious when I say this, long term geopolitical strategies are too complex for many of these people to comprehend.
We will not coexist a second to China. You will get the war of all wars mutually assured destruction or not.☢️
Scholar Kishore Mahbubani is insightful and positive to the Point .
Still when a country rise and a country decline in that way common sense is rising will go on rise and decline will decline mean double digits gaps .
Mean while a underwater gas pipe has blown up, largest man made gas leak eco crisis ever, and people in Europe are suffering from increase cost of living. Nobody will die but people will freeze and starve. Anglos will not hesitate to make others suffer for their own gains never forget.
The reason that the conversation has changed is that the Chinese gave up on Wolf Warrior diplomacy as being unproductive (or even counter productive) and the economic straits that China has entered. In other words, China was willing to talk to the US civilly (without gratuitous Chinese insults) again.
I've just bought Kishore's latest book on my Kindle. Should be an interesting read.
Singapore’s sanction on Russia is shameful especially when part of NAM.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the elephant in the room - the current Ukraine conflict goes back to the fall of the Soviet Union, where the American-led NATO assured the Soviets/ Russians that NATO would not expand an inch eastwards towards Russia’s border. That promise was never kept (as the Americans have proven the can’t be trusted). Any country would feel threatened if a military alliance (NATO) that sees them as an enemy expands right up to their border. I used to think Russia’s actions were inexcusable, but I definitely see Russia’s point of view and why they had to invade Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. As a fellow Singaporean, I’m surprised Mr Kishore Mabuhbani doesn’t raise this crucial historical point in his various speeches and talks around the world. It does give context to this Russia-Ukraine war. Renowned American economist, Prof. Jeffery Sachs, brings up this historical aspect of the current war. I really respect Professor Sachs. He calls a spade a spade. The Americans have provoked Russia- pushing it to a corner and using Ukraine to engage in a proxy war with Russia.
@@gflaubert3423 Just in case you are not aware of Singapore’s history with Malaysia; let me remind you that Singapore was expelled from the Malaysian Federation. They rejected Singapore. 😂😂
@@gflaubert3423 Ukraine wasn't kicked out of Russia. One has to look at the back story of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. It has to do with NATO expansion eastwards towards the Russian border. Once I researched the reason for Russia's invasion. I realised what CRIMINALS the Americans really are. They are global warmongers. So yes,, I do support Russia.
It was proved that Ukraine shot that missile on Poland
Why did they have the pro west white guy?
25:06 so true...a reality hard to be accepted by the USA, UK, AUS..we don't want to choose..I believe all of us in the region, if one side keep pressuring us to choose, we will *definitely* avoid those who force us to choose a side..we are hard-headed people. Never ever underestimate the power of getting annoyed...hahahaha
Even we may not like all things done by the other side, the worst of all kind of people we all hate is *annoying people* and currently USA is super duper annoying..

Chips Act is extremely detrimental for China's growth in the short term. But with the kind of economic and human resources strength China possesses now, it will get out of this stronger. Now, it's all about how much China can pull off in the next 10 years without being involved in a kinetic war.

Empower the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.
Then all USA presidents will be prosecuted.
They are set up to empower Western nations.
First of all, You can't use the word "invade" with the issue between Mainland China and Taiwan. As invade is only use between Countries. Taiwan is always part of China.
Just invest in those countries with govt with best governance and that govt will not change in the foreseeable future because a frequent change will affect the political stability of the country.

Please try not to mispronounce the name Xi as a Gee, Jee, or Shee. The proper pronunciation under Chinese pinyin is a lighter form of Si, When in doubt, Si is approximately quite close. To be more precise, Chinese pinyin, Xi Jinping's family name is pronounced like an English 's' except lighter. Pronounced like the word "see" with a small modification of pushing the sound through your front teeth and opening your lips horizontally.
I am quite happy Prof Kishore has got most of his pinpoints of China correctly. His SHE is less wrong, but still wrong, and he should simply get a Professor from Nan Yang University to coach him on a simple "s" through front teeth,. It is the host of this clip who insists on being wrong with GEEE.
What I find irritating is when people pronounce the j in Beijing like the s in television. I don't understand why some people do that, especially western journalists. Beijing is not a French word.
Totally agree. I hv pointed this out to a western channel but they continually ignore. Guess it shows on them why even when told it's wrong.
@@pbworld7858 How did the colonial scholars get it wrong into Peking in the first place has had me hissing with giggle. Well perhaps, the British asked a Canonese speaker and he said in Cantonese, Pak Keng. In the same failed scholarship, when Deng Xiao-ping returned to the top, Time magazine, based in Hong Kong, took it upon themselves to be The authority to teach westerner how to pronounce the "Deng" as "D-Uhg" so it has remained Dung in the tongues of westerners no matter how supposedly expter that westerner is held high in the west. Kevin Rudd, former Aussi Prme Minister, who is literate in Chinese, is unfortunately also still doing Dung.
During the times of Hu Jintao, it was hard to make a mistake given the riddle: "Who is the President of China?" Answer "Hu is the President of China." Ask again "You did not answer my question?"
Reminds us of the Ulysses story of the One-eyed giant after he was blinded by Ulysses. Asked: "Who blinded you?" Giant:"Nobody blinded me!"
The colonial Brits sure did emasculate the Chinese language willy-nilly. Hugely influenced by their Preachers the Comanders got their Wade-Gilles system translation of Chinese names. Hence, the language of Beijing area was codified as Mandarin, from Man-Da-Ren, meaning Manchurian Big Man ['s officials speak]. The Brits in a move to split HK residents from the mainland, insisted on teaching till 1997, Chinese teachings in HK using Cantonese rather than the Mandarin that was set as National Language since 1911 and has been for China as well as the KMT Taiwan.
Western preachers had a good discipline of going to a village in China and for about 7 years concentrated on learning to speak fluently before starting to preach. Therefore, the Brits called the city Xiamen "Amoy" because that is close to the Hokkien pronunciation of the exact same words of the city. And Hong Kong was spelled by the British from the local Cantonese Hiong Kong, quite close except using the Brit light K, rather than the hard K pinyin as G, for Gang. Guangzhou was twisted to Canton, from the Cantonese sound Kwong Toong [Wade-Gilles]
Side effect of this Brit parochialism is that in the Chinatowns of the world up till recently, the dialect used in retail business tends to be Cantonese. We who are wholesalers, other dialects, have a saying. "Why are Cantonese people born?" Answer:"Somebody has to pay retail."
On Indonesia's arranging the G20, it shows the diplomacy side of Asia while the west is confrontational. After 2 world wars, the west learned nothing!
“At Alaska, they shouted at each other, exchanged insult..”. Who are they? From both sides? Or one sided?
no sound
OK now
If you are working in Asia please correctly pronounce Xi. No excuse and Kishore has at least got it right now except the tone (Chinese is a tonal language and only ethnic speakers and keen learner of the language know what I am talking about).
To be fair, Chinese struggle with English pronunciation too.
Westerners can do better ... but don't take it too personally.
After 25 years in China, few Chinese have pronounced my name perfectly. It's not a problem.
👍🏼
Ok nearer🤙
Taiwan or any countrys in the world that had a deeply friendly with US, isn't matters with US government, because America's business is business, so when they are see the benefits a lot more than they are kept it, and they will transfer the things that customers want,US won't do losing money business
No point talks after talks where those who are involved in any wars won't listen to good advice as each will claim to be mightier than the other.
That's the ego where no one wants to bring it down.
The speaker is so realistic and professional with deep understanding of the history of the West and East .
