Additional Notes: Lee, who wanted to make Deng feel comfortable on his visit to Singapore, arranged for an ashtray (and a ventilation system to suck out any smoke) and his finest Ming porcelain spittoon to be placed next to Deng during their meetings - despite Lee embarking on a series of no-smoking and spitting campaigns at the time. However out of respect, Deng did not use them. Singapore's MOFA on the relationship: Since the mid-1990s, more than 50,000 Chinese officials have come to Singapore for various study visits and training programmes. China is the only country with which the Singapore government has entered into major development projects., namely (a) the China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park; (b) the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City; and (c) the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Demonstration Initiative on Strategic Connectivity. They have also established a state-level bilateral level cooperation project, the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City and several private sector-led, government-supported projects such as the Singapore-Sichuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park, the Nanjing Eco High-Tech Island, and the Jilin Food Zone. In addition, they also launched the Singapore-China (Shenzhen) Smart City Initiative. At the provincial level, they have eight provincial business and economic councils with Sichuan, Shandong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai.
It's amazig, right? with a leader who couldn't hold back his urge to spit and smoke, he still created wonders. This is a perfect example of old Chinese people, they see people line up for something, but their common sense failed them to do the same.
Singaporean cannot wait to get credit claims that China success because of SG model. That is a thick skin face without shame. Deng absolutely does it by himself and Chinese team. Stop begging SG, admit that SG is two sides, no partisan and not a model for China. SG just want money, that all it is.
In the 1970s, I remember that my parents would send money and clothings to our relatives in China. Singapore and China were utterly poor. But we did what we could to help our relatives. Fast forward 50 years, I would witness - during my lifetime - the rise of Singapore to become one of the richest countries on Earth - and China becoming the world's second largest economy. I am no expert on the economy. But I do know that for a country to succeed, you need strong leaders with iron in them, incorruptible and above all, they gave their all to their country. RIP my beloved Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Paramount Leader Mr Deng Xiaoping.

The CIA & FBI & DOD felt they were telling too much about just how deeply involved we were in China." Michael Pillsbury, Director for Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute and author of "The Hundred-Year Marathon: China's Secret Strategy to Replace America as the Global Superpower," on how US government agencies secretly aided the rise of communist China. USA helped China enter the WTO Bill Clinton helped China join the WTO. China joined in November 11, 2001 Doha . America made China rich. America helped China to become rich . China's biggest customer is the USA. The majority of China's customers are Americans . America is dependent on China for almost everything and wants to keep it that way. Unfortunately China has abused that position by weaponizing it , and has become a threat to the stability of the world. And this is why China has very few allies. And old enemies of America have become friends today like Germany and Japan.

@@郑羽-m4z Know your facts. Fact: In the early years of China’s economic reform programme, the Chinese central government sought Goh’s (Goh Keng Swee) expertise and appointed him as its economic adviser on coastal development and tourism in 1985. He was the first foreigner to be appointed to such a role. Goh was heavily involved in strategizing the first Special Economic Zone in Shenzhen and his influence lasted into the 90s.

@solecurious Actually, the first Special Economic Zone was in Taiwan during Chiang Kai Shek's government, and then the CCP copied it with even the same name at first.
I have worked for 1 year in Singapore and 24 years in China. It’s true that they have a similar system: very centralised, pragmatic, long term planning, meritocratic. But I believe instead of saying one is copying another, they are more inline with traditional Chinese governance system since Han dynasty. Communism was an imported ideology from the West, China is moving back to its roots.
Nope. Singapore is built on British legal system and governance system. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Also how does modern China in anyway resemble governance system of Han and following dynasties?

@@wotltkfkdgoAs a Singaporean, I can tell you that China did learn from Singapore. Every year, thousands of Chinese officials were sent to Singapore to learn from us from town management, public housing,, cleanliness etc. The one good thing that was a legacy from Britain was their judiciary and bureaucracy that we inherited. Singapore was a colony of the West but that doesn't mean that we adopted British culture. If you compare that to the 5000 years of Chinese history, the British rule over Singapore was just a blimp. Chinese all over the world still retain traditional values and will not accept totally what the West has. We take the goods from the West and discard what is not desirable.

I love the response PM Lee answered the question at the end of this video, brilliant answer from a man, himself a great man and a great visionary. Truely amazing, PM Lee will live in history of perpetuatety.
This is one of the most instructive shows I ever watched about Eastern Asia. I did not know this relationship between Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiaoping. I will keep the link to show it to my friends. Thank you.
Because Mr. Lee is Chinese. Chinese predominate, making up some three-fourths of the total. Singapore is ruled by overseas Chinese. It's the same as the US is ruled by overseas white Caucasians. So you hope that Mr. Lee hates Chinese, hates his own race and poeple??! Which part do you not understand???? Singaporean and white european are not a race.
..must disagree, former Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping would have truly saved China and the Chinese people, if he had allowed and accepted the Democracy Movement to take shape ...during the Tiananmen Square Student Protest, in 1989, instead he sent in armed PLA troops ..crushed all dissenters. Otherwise, PRChina today would be so much a different Country. Additionally, Deng implemented "one-child" family policy, perhaps influenced by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's flawed policy of "Stop-at-Two" , which led to over 300 million Chinese Citizens' abortions during the period (Sept.25, 1980 to Jan. 1, 2016) and other negative results. Today, 2024, PRChina faces a population crisis ....too many old Chinese pensioners and insufficient / enough young Chinese in the labor force (i.e. if they can find work during the present "de-risking" of PRChina).

It is undeniable fact that today's development in China was significantly influenced by Singapore. Deng Xiaoping, the architect of China's economic reforms, drew considerable inspiration from Singapore's rapid modernization and economic success under the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew. Deng visited Singapore in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where he observed the benefits of market-oriented policies combined with strong central governance. He admired how Singapore managed to achieve rapid economic growth while maintaining social stability and effective governance. This model resonated with Deng, who sought to implement similar strategies in China. As a result, many of the economic reforms and open-door policies that Deng introduced were influenced by Singapore's approach. These reforms have played a crucial role in transforming China into a global economic powerhouse, demonstrating the profound impact of Singapore's development model on China's growth trajectory.
@@zen-mc4juIf I were PRC I would give my thanks to Deng Xiao Ping with the courage to change China course and SG whom China learn to build economy and civil management.Mao a revolutionary but not a nation builder,his Culture Revolution, Great Leap Forward brought economic disaster,social chaos and deaths to China. China was in pathetic state if not LKY told Deng To Stop sending arms and focus on building economic prosperity instead of war in this part of the world
Deng was not too different from Lee though he started his political career in Chinese communist party. His thoughts are actually very open minded as his early years working in France as a teenager during WW1 and his mentor, Zhou Enlai, another outstanding Chinese leader guided him in forming a pragmatic approach to things.
@@maggiechan33 No, what he and many means, Lee contributed in his own way and a huge one to China modernisation at the right time just when China begin its opening up. No matter how Deng and his comrades are eager in spurring China economic growth, they lack the knowledge and experience in running a country after decades of closing up to the world . That is when Lee 's advice to Deng was so important. First Singapore is made up of 75% Chinese in population. Because not only Singapore economic development was successful, its population is generally made up of 75 percent ethnic Chinese(Confucianist ways) which makes it a very good model for China to emulate. Lee, already an outstanding nation builder, has suggested ways how to boost China economic zones by sending consultants not only then but consistently for the next 3 decades. He also lent Deng large volumes of books related on Singapore laws which Deng and the leaders after him studied intently. The meritocratic political system which Singapore leaders are picked in term of education, capabilities, performance in their career, beliefs on major matters, etc are picked up and used in many ways in China's own selection of leaders political system . Most of the important leaders are picked on merits and performance. Of course China is so huge that corruption and bribery or special relationship to obtain certain leadership post is unavoidable but overall the political leaders in the central government and the civil service are pragmatic and perform well in their tasks.
Yes Zhou Enlai is the father of modern China along with Deng. This video is not about Lee solely factoring in China transformation but rather that Lee with Singapore give an insight what China can be through industrialitation and egalitarian society. Singapore are several steps ahead from China at that point, and Deng saw what China can become clearly and pursue it. That's all
This video is THE BEST video I ve seen on RUclips. It is SPOT ON. China learned the most from Singapore . Why ? Because Singapore is a one party or one man led country for 31yrs yet they achieved prosperity. Lee Kwon Yew Ruled Singapore for 31 yrs. In current day Western countries opinion, they will call him a dictator. The success lies not on so called “democratic elections “, but on Education, good governance, and technology. One of the biggest difference between 1978 China and North Korea is MAO has no heir. His only Son died in the Korean War, by American Bomber. We are thankful to that American bomber so that nowadays China is not like North Korea. I was born in 1983 and at that time China was as poor as India and many African countries, and I have witnessed the unbelievable changes throughout my Life. Nowadays the living standards of China rival that of many developed countries. And we are now ahead of US and Western countries in terms of many aspects such as High Speed Train, 5G, EV, Cashless society, digital life, Shipbuilding, space exploration, etc etc.We are forever thankful to Deng xiaoping, the man who changed China forever.

I am from a third largest democracy in the world and lucky enough to grew up in Singapore, went to college and live my early adult lives in the states and now live in Suzhou. In many ways China are already very much like singapore and more but still has a long way to become as reliable as Singapore. It will get there but not there yet. RIP Mr Lee and Mr Deng. They’re both great giants. Only if China embraced Deng more than Mao, the possibility is endless for China. Also How only if hongkies and taiwanese listened to Lee. It would be the great comeback of Chinese civilization but instead HK youths and Taiwan chose to be pawns of the west.

DENG XIAOPING IS EVERYBODY'S 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊HERO🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 ... UNFORTUNATELY, The Nobel Committee did not deem DENG Xiaoping good enough for any award 😕. The same BS Nobel Committee, however, deemed Barack Obama deserving of an award for practically Doing Nothing, much to the Obama himself. 😊
US leaders think their system is the best and think others should learn from them. However, Chinese leaders were humble enough to adopt and adapt foreign systems if they are better. As a result, China is not really communist anymore, more of a hybrid system.
We've come full circle. We started with Mao thinking, "screw the whole world, we'll do it our way." Then we got to the humble Deng who learnt from whoever he thought he had to learn from. And now we're back to arrogant Xi.
Not wrong with communist it just an ideology like democracy, at the end of the day it's about the people who look up to their leaders for who can give them security and roof over their head and food on their table, what's the use of democracy if the people live in fear about security and no food on the table to feed their families, corrupt leaders putting fear into their life
China is progressing rapidly now because it cannot be separated from the figure of Deng Xiaoping, who carried out economic reforms in the late 1970s and opened up to invite foreign investment.
As a Singaporean who studied and grew up in US for 20yrs I would like to express my gratitude of thanks for letting me hear both sides of the story and how some countries like China and Singapore government systems works in their own ways and not every country can be fully democratic like the US and UK due to culture and environment .
You seem influenced by the label "democratic" when downplaying China and Singapore in comparison to the US and the UK. You have yet to accept that whether a country is democratic or not is for the population of that country to say, and not defined by the US or the UK, which you take for granted.
As Chinese I cannot?imagine what our country would have become with Deng and his open mind. And I also have a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. LKY and the marvelous achievement of this tiny yet admirable island nation.
Thank you so much, my brother from Africa, the mother and fatherland. Wonderful video of a wonderful and beautiful city, clean, sophisticated, super modern city, that the Western ern MSM doesn't want the world to see.. Just as it is for you and your other viewers, you're doing a great job opening the eyes of your viewers about Russia. I live in New York City the skyscraper capital of United States and I'm impressed with the architectural masterpieces shown in the Moscow city, within the city of Moscow itself. As for haters who call Russia a third world country, they do so out of envy, just like late US senator McCain called Russia a gas station with nuclear weapons. Don't forget they say the same thing about Africa as a continent where people live on trees and untamed wild animals roam the streets. It's pure unadulterated racism and hate. When they use such derogatory language to describe Russia just tell yourself the truth is the direct opposite of what they want the world to believe. Thank God for content creators like you, the truth is coming out. Russia has a lot of firsts, invention of the helicopter, first mation to go to space, a military superpower, largest empire, a member of G8 until it was kicked out by the West after annexing Crimea, etc., etc. What's more, it's the largest country in the world with the biggest concentration of agricultural mineral resources in the world to to mention oil and gas, etc.
Learn from other countries, especially Singapore. A smart move to make China better. DX was proven right. Both countries benefitted from good leadership.
For centuries until late 1970s, China was unlucky to not have a leader like Deng, with right vision, strong determination and pragmatism. People outside China and the Chinese born after Mao’s death just cannot believe and imagine how the Chinese suffered during the reign of Mao. It was way worse than North Korea.
LEE KUAN YEW, FATHER OF SINGAPORE, WHICH TRANSFORMED FROM A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY TO FIRST WORLD IN A FEW DECADES, IS AS GREAT A HERO AS DENG XIZOPING, WHOM LEE KUAN YEW PRAISED LAVISHLY. BOTH OF THEM R MY PERSONAL HEROES. ASIDE FROM BEING GREAT, LEE WAS ALSO VERY HUMBLE. THIS TOUCHED ME GREATLY.

DENG LIFTED 800 MILLION CHINESE OUT OF DESP[ERATE POVERTY INTO MIDDLE CLASS. HE NOT ONLY CHANGED CHINA, BUT INDIRECTLY THE WHOLE WORLD.
"Small role" is a bit of an understatement. It's no secret that we drew great inspiration from Singapore in our technology, economy, ect., it's a fact we openly acknowledge.
..”We couldn’t get half way there ..( LKY on potentially leading China). That sums it all. I think each leader understood the uniqueness of their societies.
@@houzi29 I remembered my grandparents from both side talked about donations and contributions to help fight the Japs in China. That was the reason why the Japs hated the Chinese in SE Asia and slaughtered so many Chinese when they invaded Malaysia and Singapore
LKY has said before, the Oriental Chinese mind is a remarkable one. Deng Xiao Ping was such a person who could see the idea from LKY, move along and make things happen to achieve similar Singapore ideals. From age 76, he made things happen in China. Well, look at the grand vision of achievements of what China is now. 70 years ago, Singapore was a malaria swamp. 50 years, Shenzhen was a fishing village. Now, we can only stand impressed at the things the great Deng have achieved. A man of small stature, about 5 ft tall, his achievements are gigantic in proportions.
On opposing communism: "If we dont try, Singapore will become communist. If we try and fail, it will become communist. The important thing is for us to try". Lee Kuan Yew, 1965 after the separation of Singapore from Malaysia.
It’s SO IMPORTANT to know when one is headed in the WRONG DIRECTION to drop your PRIDE & TURN AROUND & move into an EXAMPLE OF SUCCESS when it’s RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. GOOD JOB, Deng Xiaoapeng & your gracious host, Mr LKY, was honorable enough to show you the way. GOD HONORS HUMILITY when it’s done for the LOVE of your Brother. *
Thank you for sharing this part of history with two most remarkable leaders of 20th century, just been to Singapore recently and surly it sets the standard for how a modern civilized society should be, I am also very proud of my own country China, it is not perfect but it is changing and getting better every single day, both countries are safe, modern with world class infrastructure, mostly it is United 😊
I am 67 and was always a great admirer of Deng Xiaoping. The present China could learn from the present Singapore as well: how you prosper better when you keep peaceful relations with your neighbours and the rest of the world. All this "9 or 10 dotted lines" in the Chinese sea brings many conflicts and quarreling about minuscule pieces of land with India ... unfruitful, costly and dangerous.
By having Chinese as a majority in Singapore, the Singapore success story/model has made & ensured Deng that Chinese can also make economic progress/miracles.
Thank Malaysia actually, Lee originally wanted to be with Malaysia but he was kicked out for introducing his Meritocracy-Serving-Peoples-Transformation-Plan to the Malaysian government in the 60s, since then Lee successfully built a country based on merit serving the people and pass on to Deng in the 80s... the rest is history
@sandponics Agree, religious idealogy especially those Abrahamic ones are detrimental to the progress of society and humanity. They want to draw humanity back into the dark ages.
China’s success today undoubtedly was due to Teng who had unquestionably learned from Lee’s successful experience in running a prosperous Singapore. Lee had had contributed much to China. For example, he told Teng China must first concentrate on education and open up to foreign investments as after d cultural revolution, China was almost in chaos. But praise must be given to Chinese masses who really worked hard to achieve what they hv achieved today. Western nations esp USA is now trying ways and means to run China down but it shall all be in vain.
Success doesn't belong to just one person as it's a continuous process and cumulative effort collectively from phase to phase from a cohesive force of willing people. Now you know why India isn't on the same par as China.
Western nations are trying to turn China into a country from an authoritarian dictatorship into a nation with freedom and democracy, just like the Western countries. So yes, from Chinese government’s point of view, the West is trying to “run down” China on the political level. The western nations saw greatness in China and wanted it to become their true ally, but first China needs to become as democratic and free as the Western nations. Chinese citizens should be governed by officials cared about the people and listen to their voices, things most current Chinese government officials claimed to have achieved but is simply not true. China would become one of the best places to live in around the world if China becomes a democratic and free country similar to the USA, South Korea and Japan. The island of Taiwan is the best example how great a place to live in China would be if China carries out a successful reform into a democratic and free society. But now, despite all the economic advancements, great infrastructure, etc… as long as China remains an authoritarian dictatorship, it will never fully boom under the World stage.
@@brianliew5901India, despite being a democratic and free country, was consumed in a sea of corrupted and power hungry government officials. This is why India is not developing as quick enough as modern day China.
There's something unique about Singapore that many people dont know, Singapore first prime minister LKY told every citizens in the country to learn from the world, pragmatism and what works & get things done. Did Singapore learn from USA,UK,Japan , Netherlands & China all these time as well ? The answer is yes. Singapore did learn from usa,uk , Japan, Israel when they just got their independence,taking the best practices of democracy and fuse it with abit of china socialist systems. 65 percent democracy 35 percent socialist. Singapore primary ethos is always seek the best practices from everyone in the globe and to remain humble.because Singapore has zero natural resources,they use the best brains we humans have to have a place at the table in a dangerous world. Will china need Singapore,it depends on china current generation,they basically revert and try to use xi jin ping as god to erased whatever deng xiao ding has done.
That isn't true. I am an old timer in Singapore and we never got news from the outside world until the internet force the world news to be accessible to us. I even have to go to bangkok to read and see the news. There are many bad about Singapore that only a native would know.
Both countries succeeded because their leaders in a critical time are decisive and competent, leading their countries to ultimate success. Their policies may not be popular at their time but will turn out to be the correct decisions to be made.
Since DXP's leadership,, China has opened up to carry out economic reform by attracting investors from America and Middle Eastern countries... In 1976 LKY visited China because he wanted to see China as a country that was open and had carried out economic reform (where Shenzhen was originally a village for blacksmiths in the years during DXP's leadership it had become a world trading area)... only a few years later DXP visited Singapore (1978) to see the countries in Southeast Asia...
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥇🙏🏼May the Universe continue to shower it’s blessings on China & Singapore . Great minds think alike . Deng & LKY hope you are reborn again and again for the uplifting of nations - humans . Kudos 🤗
A country can change course bcoz its leader is willing to listen. LKY was persuasive, speaking with facts, wout having to go to war like what the US is doing to change many countries to their beliefs.
why must CNA keep repeating on old news, China n singapore collab have been on TV every other day while i was growing up; from inter-countries meetings to project cooperations to education partnership and so much more.
Brilliant rapportage. Fully explains the new strategy of China. It's softsell economic approach benefits the world's population with best deals for consumer goods earning eternal gratitude.
All great men made Hugh sacrifices to benefit their people instead of themselves. Gandhi, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Deng, Lee Kuan Yew. The test of greatness is that they still command respect long after they passed away. Not many get such recognition.
Salute to both great men who are supposed to be models for leadership of the world today and the future. Both Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiao Ping love their country selflessly that they work so hard to save it and it's people from poverty to greatness. I hope the Philippines will have a leader even half of ther ability, it will mean a lot to the Philippines' future. If there can be a leader like then in the Philippines, we'll not need to have any election for president every 6 years.
What is special about the Chinese race is that they are ethno-loyal, hard working, egalitarian and mission-commited. These qualities are missing in most of the third world upper classes, especially weak in their elites and leaders ! Lee Kuan Yew brought those Sino qualities to the post colonial realm and sparkled ! ❤ 😂
Just like Deng Xiaoping's evaluation of Mao Zedong, Deng said Mao is 70% was right and 30% was wrong. I think most Chinese people agree with Deng's evaluation. Because Mao Zedong liberated China from colonists, he defeat Japan, USA, India and Soviet aggression, A century of national humiliation ended due to Mao, or PRC will be American satellite state like Japan EU but poor like India Africa.. Deng saved Chinese from Mao’s wrong economic policies (Maoism is more extreme left than the Soviet Union), or CCP will be gone like CCCP, China will be disintegrated like Yugoslavia. Deng Xiaoping was still a tough leader, but he was not particularly ideological. He was more of a pragmatist. More ironically, Deng also saved Indochina from communism/Vietnamese, or ASEAN will be unified as one country, and chairman will be Vietcong leader.

Rubbish. If anything, most SE Asians are just jealous of Singapore，just look at the comments online and in their own media. And they never seem to learn anything. So backwards compared to China
Lee Kuan Yew believed Deng Xiaoping's ideologies even more than Deng himself ever did. Lee even before 1978 already knew Deng will become the reformist who leads China to rise. (Lee said "China will soon rise" to Mao 4 months before Mao's death but Mao was only surprised into disbelief. Although the entire reason why terminally ill Mao invited Lee to Beijing was because of being amused by his Singapore's survival independence miracle) When the 1989 Tiananmen incident happened, Lee Kuan Yew was also almost the first of the very few international leaders who stepped up to defend Deng's hard choice with total agreement! (He said : "It will definitely worth if thousands students' deaths can in exchange give decades of economic prosperity for China. Even if I were Beijing, I would not even hesitate to do the same!") Lee Kuan Yew believed China will rise was also the entire reason why he since 1979 actively introduced Chinese Singaporeans to start learning Mandarin Chinese, so Singapore can soonest be enabled biggest advantages to trade with China for profits. But is still a difficult goal that being something even nowadays Singapore does not yet able achieve!
Additional Notes: Lee, who wanted to make Deng feel comfortable on his visit to Singapore, arranged for an ashtray (and a ventilation system to suck out any smoke) and his finest Ming porcelain spittoon to be placed next to Deng during their meetings - despite Lee embarking on a series of no-smoking and spitting campaigns at the time. However out of respect, Deng did not use them.

China is the only country with which the Singapore government has entered into major development projects., namely (a) the China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park; (b) the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City; and (c) the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Demonstration Initiative on Strategic Connectivity.
They have also established a state-level bilateral level cooperation project, the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City and several private sector-led, government-supported projects such as the Singapore-Sichuan Hi-Tech Innovation Park, the Nanjing Eco High-Tech Island, and the Jilin Food Zone.
In addition, they also launched the Singapore-China (Shenzhen) Smart City Initiative. At the provincial level, they have eight provincial business and economic councils with Sichuan, Shandong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shanghai.
It's amazig, right? with a leader who couldn't hold back his urge to spit and smoke, he still created wonders. This is a perfect example of old Chinese people, they see people line up for something, but their common sense failed them to do the same.
Singaporean cannot wait to get credit claims that China success because of SG model. That is a thick skin face without shame. Deng absolutely does it by himself and Chinese team. Stop begging SG, admit that SG is two sides, no partisan and not a model for China. SG just want money, that all it is.

But I believe instead of saying one is copying another, they are more inline with traditional Chinese governance system since Han dynasty. Communism was an imported ideology from the West, China is moving back to its roots.

Singapore was a colony of the West but that doesn't mean that we adopted British culture. If you compare that to the 5000 years of Chinese history, the British rule over Singapore was just a blimp. Chinese all over the world still retain traditional values and will not accept totally what the West has. We take the goods from the West and discard what is not desirable.

Otherwise, PRChina today would be so much a different Country. Additionally, Deng implemented "one-child" family policy, perhaps influenced by Mr. Lee Kuan Yew's flawed policy of "Stop-at-Two" , which led to over 300 million Chinese Citizens' abortions during the period (Sept.25, 1980 to Jan. 1, 2016) and other negative results. Today, 2024, PRChina faces a population crisis ....too many old Chinese pensioners and insufficient / enough young Chinese in the labor force (i.e. if they can find work during the present "de-risking" of PRChina).

It is undeniable fact that today's development in China was significantly influenced by Singapore. Deng Xiaoping, the architect of China's economic reforms, drew considerable inspiration from Singapore's rapid modernization and economic success under the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew.
Deng visited Singapore in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where he observed the benefits of market-oriented policies combined with strong central governance. He admired how Singapore managed to achieve rapid economic growth while maintaining social stability and effective governance. This model resonated with Deng, who sought to implement similar strategies in China.
As a result, many of the economic reforms and open-door policies that Deng introduced were influenced by Singapore's approach. These reforms have played a crucial role in transforming China into a global economic powerhouse, demonstrating the profound impact of Singapore's development model on China's growth trajectory.
So China is a copy cat of Sg? Great publicity to elevate one's status. China is the second biggest economy in the world. Let people judge with brains.
Thank you for sharing this fact. Indeed China will not be the economic powerhouse without Singapore as an inspiration.

Deng was not too different from Lee though he started his political career in Chinese communist party.

No, what he and many means, Lee contributed in his own way and a huge one to China modernisation at the right time just when China begin its opening up. No matter how Deng and his comrades are eager in spurring China economic growth, they lack the knowledge and experience in running a country after decades of closing up to the world . That is when Lee 's advice to Deng was so important. First Singapore is made up of 75% Chinese in population. Because not only Singapore economic development was successful, its population is generally made up of 75 percent ethnic Chinese(Confucianist ways) which makes it a very good model for China to emulate. Lee, already an outstanding nation builder, has suggested ways how to boost China economic zones by sending consultants not only then but consistently for the next 3 decades. He also lent Deng large volumes of books related on Singapore laws which Deng and the leaders after him studied intently. The meritocratic political system which Singapore leaders are picked in term of education, capabilities, performance in their career, beliefs on major matters, etc are picked up and used in many ways in China's own selection of leaders political system . Most of the important leaders are picked on merits and performance. Of course China is so huge that corruption and bribery or special relationship to obtain certain leadership post is unavoidable but overall the political leaders in the central government and the civil service are pragmatic and perform well in their tasks.
Yes Zhou Enlai is the father of modern China along with Deng. This video is not about Lee solely factoring in China transformation but rather that Lee with Singapore give an insight what China can be through industrialitation and egalitarian society.
Singapore are several steps ahead from China at that point, and Deng saw what China can become clearly and pursue it. That's all
This video is THE BEST video I ve seen on RUclips. It is SPOT ON. China learned the most from Singapore . Why ? Because Singapore is a one party or one man led country for 31yrs yet they achieved prosperity. Lee Kwon Yew Ruled Singapore for 31 yrs. In current day Western countries opinion, they will call him a dictator. The success lies not on so called “democratic elections “, but on Education, good governance, and technology. One of the biggest difference between 1978 China and North Korea is MAO has no heir. His only Son died in the Korean War, by American Bomber. We are thankful to that American bomber so that nowadays China is not like North Korea. I was born in 1983 and at that time China was as poor as India and many African countries, and I have witnessed the unbelievable changes throughout my Life. Nowadays the living standards of China rival that of many developed countries. And we are now ahead of US and Western countries in terms of many aspects such as High Speed Train, 5G, EV, Cashless society, digital life, Shipbuilding, space exploration, etc etc.We are forever thankful to Deng xiaoping, the man who changed China forever.

The western nations saw greatness in China and wanted it to become their true ally, but first China needs to become as democratic and free as the Western nations. Chinese citizens should be governed by officials cared about the people and listen to their voices, things most current Chinese government officials claimed to have achieved but is simply not true.
China would become one of the best places to live in around the world if China becomes a democratic and free country similar to the USA, South Korea and Japan. The island of Taiwan is the best example how great a place to live in China would be if China carries out a successful reform into a democratic and free society. But now, despite all the economic advancements, great infrastructure, etc… as long as China remains an authoritarian dictatorship, it will never fully boom under the World stage.
@@brianliew5901India, despite being a democratic and free country, was consumed in a sea of corrupted and power hungry government officials. This is why India is not developing as quick enough as modern day China.
There's something unique about Singapore that many people dont know, Singapore first prime minister LKY told every citizens in the country to learn from the world, pragmatism and what works & get things done. Did Singapore learn from USA,UK,Japan , Netherlands & China all these time as well ? The answer is yes. Singapore did learn from usa,uk , Japan, Israel when they just got their independence,taking the best practices of democracy and fuse it with abit of china socialist systems. 65 percent democracy 35 percent socialist. Singapore primary ethos is always seek the best practices from everyone in the globe and to remain humble.because Singapore has zero natural resources,they use the best brains we humans have to have a place at the table in a dangerous world. Will china need Singapore,it depends on china current generation,they basically revert and try to use xi jin ping as god to erased whatever deng xiao ding has done.
That isn't true. I am an old timer in Singapore and we never got news from the outside world until the internet force the world news to be accessible to us. I even have to go to bangkok to read and see the news. There are many bad about Singapore that only a native would know.
Both countries succeeded because their leaders in a critical time are decisive and competent, leading their countries to ultimate success.
Their policies may not be popular at their time but will turn out to be the correct decisions to be made.
Since DXP's leadership,, China has opened up to carry out economic reform by attracting investors from America and Middle Eastern countries... In 1976 LKY visited China because he wanted to see China as a country that was open and had carried out economic reform (where Shenzhen was originally a village for blacksmiths in the years during DXP's leadership it had become a world trading area)... only a few years later DXP visited Singapore (1978) to see the countries in Southeast Asia...
Even shenzhen was develop and masterplan by Singapore,our minister Goh keng Swee was shenzhen economic adviser
Thanks so much for pointing out this important fact. Many young people today are not aware of Singapore as inspiration for China’s future.
U got mixed up, it was Suzhou definitely not Shenzhen.
@@yct6500 Young man no idea you live in the cave
的确，唯独深圳没有非机动车道，这是学习新加坡最大的失败
Singapore was the ideal model of China.
One of the sharpest statesmen ever....
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥇🙏🏼May the Universe continue to shower it’s blessings on China & Singapore . Great minds think alike . Deng & LKY hope you are reborn again and again for the uplifting of nations - humans . Kudos 🤗
A country can change course bcoz its leader is willing to listen. LKY was persuasive, speaking with facts, wout having to go to war like what the US is doing to change many countries to their beliefs.
LKY was not trying to behave superior like the West who loves to lecture.
No other media even CNA, talk about this. Surprised u able to find out this fact that nobody talks about.
CNA operates like the West and think like the West especially in the recent years.
CNA is slighty pro the west
Singapore's government leaders especially 1st generation leaders helping to build China is well documented.
why must CNA keep repeating on old news, China n singapore collab have been on TV every other day while i was growing up; from inter-countries meetings to project cooperations to education partnership and so much more.
You need to read LKY books. It's all written in there.
Lee kuan yew is a great person...a true patriotic leader,an honest, hard working ,President of singapore
A brilliant clip. Thanks.
A hallmark of a true leader; they know when to be direct and when to be tactful based on the situation and setting.
Brilliant rapportage. Fully explains the new strategy of China. It's softsell economic approach benefits the world's population with best deals for consumer goods earning eternal gratitude.
Love your video. Great work
All great men made Hugh sacrifices to benefit their people instead of themselves. Gandhi, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Deng, Lee Kuan Yew. The test of greatness is that they still command respect long after they passed away. Not many get such recognition.
Both Lee and Deng are great leaders. Heck, both Singapore and China are great countries!
A good leader is always a good follower and a good listener.
Salute to both great men who are supposed to be models for leadership of the world today and the future. Both Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiao Ping love their country selflessly that they work so hard to save it and it's people from poverty to greatness. I hope the Philippines will have a leader even half of ther ability, it will mean a lot to the Philippines' future. If there can be a leader like then in the Philippines, we'll not need to have any election for president every 6 years.
作为一个中国人，我也非常尊敬李光耀先生❤ 中国和星加坡友谊长存❤
Lee Kuan Yew is charming and articulate.
Deng surely was a historical figure comparable to Bismarck. Washington or Augustus.
Two historical giants with modesty and humility. Unbelievable.
What is special about the Chinese race is that they are ethno-loyal, hard working, egalitarian and mission-commited. These qualities are missing in most of the third world upper classes, especially weak in their elites and leaders ! Lee Kuan Yew brought those Sino qualities to the post colonial realm and sparkled ! ❤ 😂
LKY was no traditional Chinese. His has no Chinese upbringing. He was thoroughly a Child of the Nusantara and the West.
@@sonnymak6707....YRS LOST SOULS...... CHINESE CULTURE ARE RUNNING INSIDE SINGAPORE....
🫡Salute you.. Mr Lee from a Malaysian living abroad.
Just like Deng Xiaoping's evaluation of Mao Zedong, Deng said Mao is 70% was right and 30% was wrong. I think most Chinese people agree with Deng's evaluation.
Because Mao Zedong liberated China from colonists, he defeat Japan, USA, India and Soviet aggression, A century of national humiliation ended due to Mao, or PRC will be American satellite state like Japan EU but poor like India Africa..
Deng saved Chinese from Mao’s wrong economic policies (Maoism is more extreme left than the Soviet Union), or CCP will be gone like CCCP, China will be disintegrated like Yugoslavia. Deng Xiaoping was still a tough leader, but he was not particularly ideological. He was more of a pragmatist.
More ironically, Deng also saved Indochina from communism/Vietnamese, or ASEAN will be unified as one country, and chairman will be Vietcong leader.
Lee Kuan Yew without a doubt was one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century
"He ( Deng Xiao Peng ) saved the country. " --- Lee Kuan Yew
How I wish the world had more learers like Lee Kuan Yew.
Simgapore is example of how chinese people can succeed.
Both countries became prosperous without war. Great respect
valuable historical videos...

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some ‹professional advice. ‹it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant
You trade also?, I

A great man of Chinese descent inspired another great Chinese leader
Amazing Doc
Excellent documentary... We may easier understand China.... This Little man Deng Siao Ping had a tremendous impact of PR of CHINA... Less comunist and more confucianism on disply... Today, PR of China is one of the pillar of the world stage!
The Morale of the story is "A great nation will learn its of own shortcomings,recognised its problems & fix it by learning from other nations regardless of its size. This also what made China become powerful today !"
i don't wonder why china is now bankrupt.. you're blind if you don't see it..
Beautiful contribution to history.
All SE Asian countries wants to be Singapore
They want Singapore rich and convenient probably openness too. They don't want to work as hard as Singaporean
@@silentmajority9162 If they don't want to work as hard, then they will not be rich like Singapore as Singaporean work hard just like the Japanese and Koreans and that produces good results.
Rubbish. If anything, most SE Asians are just jealous of Singapore，just look at the comments online and in their own media. And they never seem to learn anything. So backwards compared to China

Lee Kuan Yew opened his thoughts to Deng Xiaoping which enabled them both to transform China to today.
I'm inspired from Lee kuan yew ❤
Lee Kuan Yew believed Deng Xiaoping's ideologies even more than Deng himself ever did. Lee even before 1978 already knew Deng will become the reformist who leads China to rise. (Lee said "China will soon rise" to Mao 4 months before Mao's death but Mao was only surprised into disbelief. Although the entire reason why terminally ill Mao invited Lee to Beijing was because of being amused by his Singapore's survival independence miracle)
When the 1989 Tiananmen incident happened, Lee Kuan Yew was also almost the first of the very few international leaders who stepped up to defend Deng's hard choice with total agreement! (He said : "It will definitely worth if thousands students' deaths can in exchange give decades of economic prosperity for China. Even if I were Beijing, I would not even hesitate to do the same!")
Lee Kuan Yew believed China will rise was also the entire reason why he since 1979 actively introduced Chinese Singaporeans to start learning Mandarin Chinese, so Singapore can soonest be enabled biggest advantages to trade with China for profits. But is still a difficult goal that being something even nowadays Singapore does not yet able achieve!
