Westerners are the most brain-washed people in the world. People in the third-world countries and countries under dictatorships are aware of the propaganda they are subjected to. Westerners consume the propaganda without realizing they are doing that. That's what happens when you falsely believe you are living in a democracy.

@@Likeqiang20China development is to provide and improve better life for their own people. And China didn't invade other independent sovereign country. It's not an accident that China has not fought a major war in 40 years and has not fired a bullet across it's borders in 30 years. This lack of military reflects both a powerful civilzational impulse and a deeply pragmatic view of power. Having carefully refrained from using military options for over 4 decades, the Chinese are genuinely bewildered by the American portrait of China as an inherently aggressive, militaristic, and expansionist power. Americans enjoy lecturing Chinese to be "more like us". Perhaps they should be more careful what they wish for. Historically how have emerging hegemons behaved? To be more specific, how did Washington act just over a century ago when Theodore Roosevelt led the US into what he was supremely confident would be an American century? In the decade that followed his arrival in Washington, the US declared war on Spain, expelling it from the Western Hemisphere and acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines; threaten Germany and Britain with war unless they agreed to settle the disputes on American terms: supported an insurrection in Colombia to create a new country, Panama, in order to build a canal; and declared itself the policeman of the Western Hemisphere, asserting the right to intervene whenever and wherever it judged necessary -- a right it exercised 9 times in the 7 years TR's presidency alone
@@conti-vl6txChina invaded Korea, Vietnam, Tibet, Xinjiang, India, Nepal, Bhutan. Attacking Philippines and planning to invade Taiwan. Perhaps you didn't learn this in school?
It was Indians, in relation to the threats India felt about China's infrastructure investments in Sri Lanka, who first labelled China's BRI a "debt trap". The US simply echoed and amplified Indian fears about Sri Lanka to the rest of the world.
India is not an unbiased actor when it comes to China. In fact, after the US and Japan, India is the country with the most adverserial relationship to China. You can't take India's word at face value when it is about China.

The “debt-trap” theory is concocted by Brahma Chellaney, an Indian geopolitical strategist. The “debt-trap” theory is concocted by Indians, and popularized by Americans. They concoct this theory to demonize China, Chinese and BRI projects/loans. India, US, along with EU, fear losing their control over other countries which may result from these projects. Such fears are based on their selfish and geopolitical interests. However, people from all over the world, especially from developing countries have acknowledged the needs and the actual benefits of these projects/loans. They know from their first-hand experience that there is no debt-trap. Academics and researchers have reviewed these projects, and have debunked the debt-trap theory.
Absolutely agree. Indonesians look at the BRI very positively. Indonesia's first hi-speed railway was built & financed by this project. A much more expensive version proposed by the Japanese was scrapped because they didn't provide adequate financial assistance.

UAshes, have 800 military bases around the world. They spend 1 trillions dollars (USD1,000,000,000,000) a year to maintain these bases. Why can't they cut back all these bases and spending and with those money 🤑, help and invest in those 150 Global majority poor countries. UAshes can invest USD6.7 billions dollars 💵 on each of those 150 Global Majority countries instead involved in wars and regime change.

Kudos to him for putting almost every western agenda against China in one question, while trying to pull a fast one on George Yeo with 'Chinese hegemony'. Evidently learnt from the master, but pity where all his capability is going into.
The guy who ask the question is a Singaporean... Singapore is heading into big trouble with citizens with that kind of mentality. Hoped that he is a minority.
Every chinese descendants outside mainland whom their ancestor got away from china, will feel a bit indignant/resentful to their motherland (the government at that time precisely), but along the time as china get more prosperous with the government that care for their citizens that bit of resentfulness turn to pride for their motherland
I dun agree on the content mentioned on the justification of the belt and road. The belt and road initiative took place because of over sitmulus in China during 2013 when shanghai stock market had a force stop trading. The over stimulus caused over supply which resulted in the belt and road initiative.
Actually, I like people protecting self interest. Japan or France having self protective interest is not bad. It is but their dire need to survive. However much of what some powers project as self interest is far from what they say. He studies India for years and decades, knows its balance sheet better than Indians know. When this negative power sees India rising much beyond comfort, they seek the self protection clause. These sharp minds are dictating how much you can grow, what is permissible.
Americans who promotes bandit culture have zero right to wag their finger at others. they also lost their right to complain about terrorism now that these same americans support al qaeda.

The questioning by the fellow Singaporean lack substance besides straying with a punch opportunity to statement the "mouth" of George yeo, and GY reply nails it.
The person who asked the first question just shows how much western main stream media has influenced him. He obviously doesn’t refer to other sources of news.
China strategy is no different from how US treated countries which export goods to US. Not only US squeezes the price but is also using its purchasing power to manipulate political correctness. China, in fact is playing a fairer game than US which can only think of smearing China to combat competition. All economies need investments for growth. If China can step in to provide much needed investment, it should be welcome. China welcomes US as a competitor and recipient countries are free to choose . Many developing countries are trapped in debt by IMF n World Bank loans n funding which are controlled by the West to keep them in check to serve its interest. It is malicious for the West to suggest that China is throwing away its hard earned money in projects which is not commercially viable.
To the Singaporean who asked the question with biased lingo he picked up from western media : hegemony, debt entrapment, democratic practices, human rights, etc, please read articles not just from western media. Get a more informed picture by listening to the opposite views. George Yeo was clearly saddened the question was coming from a Singaporean. He expected Singaporean to be better. GY's answered wisely.
Yes,the news media likes to spins to they own benefits which owns by government or Big business corp ie channel news media CNA which own by Singapore government GLC😂
Unfortunately George Yeo was main casualty of the Aljunied constituency worn by the Opposition.. To avoid more internal squabbles within, he took time out of politics and went abroad.. wonder why he didn't give Pres Tharman a challenge for that post recently?
Well, what do you expect a ex-minister of a state where media is heavily government controlled, would say? He is not wrong though. Through the decades. more and more so called democracies have resorted to media control, just like Singapore from the onset. That's why we need critical thinking along with analytical skills to navigate the information landscape. It is sad that we have to mistrust all incoming information until proven and/or verified.
The state has always tried to control information, since the beginning of time. There was a time when the lower classes weren't even allowed or given access to be able to read, just so they can be more easily controlled. Such was life. A sign of a well-functioning society will be how generalized and well-educated its citizens are, so they can at least theoretically make informed decisions for themselves.. As for Singapore, well, its citizenry are among the highest percentage of highly educated in the world.
China had a refined culture centuries before western fine-dining was born. Fashion and cosmetic were very advanced and sophisticated in the Tang Dynasty and even before. The arts, culture, silk and philosophy were flourishing while the middle class lived in mansions with huge courtyards, opera stage and private pavilions. China's military and social principles were focussed on the population, not the elites. Their emperors worshiped God and all state undertakings must follow the 4 seasons and protect all the contents of planet earth. They respect God, humanity and earth. This is the China of today, not different. Simply by according respects to these three elements, they can do no wrong and can withstand all forces seeking to destroy her. They are protected by the unseen universal force. I have no doubt about this.
@Likeqiang20 China's total debt in Sri Lanka is only 10%. So most of Sri Lanka financial problems are not due to China, but China gets 90% of the blame. In which case, it's the people themselves and the leaders who are principally responsible. But we should remember that for many of these countries, the principle creditor are Western countries, Western banks, not China.

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.

There is a chinese saying throw a long line to catch a big fish. What is losing money in order to gain a strategic military foothold in any of the country. Indeed china has the capacity to do that.
On a per capita basis, the average Chinese consumes more meat than the average American. Also, it’s insane that a retired foreign minister is quoting The Art of War 😊

Also Americans: OOO WHAT THE GOVT SAID ABOUT CHINA MUST HE TRUE. You zero credibility nobody. Cant even tell what a woman is nor even tell head to toe between other races like muslims and sikhs, chinese and other asians and hispanics apart.
This ex-foreign minister must be joking! Using his way of intepretation, China will not build so many warplanes and warships if they are not interested to go to war. It is very expensive to do so. If it is for defence, you do not need such a budget and so much weapon.
China's military budget is a much smaller percentage of GDP compared to other nations. China is not interested in power projection as opposed to the US. China needs a strong military because historically it has been bullied. You must be joking.
l suggest you read some history about the alliance of 8 nations invasion on China, the 2 opium wars and japanese invasion of WWII. Perhaps that will wake you up.
Then why does US maintain 800 military bases all over the world and spend one trillion USD every year to build up their insanely huge nuclear arsenal? Go figure!
How much is US defense budget compared to China and US has 800 military bases around the world with 313 surrounding China. So you think US has a god given right to encircle and threaten whichever country it wants?

Every chinese descendants outside mainland whom their ancestor got away from china, will feel a bit indignant/resentful to their motherland (the government at that time precisely), but along the time as china get more prosperous with the government that care for their citizens that bit of resentfulness turn to pride for their motherland
What kind of questions wud U like the 'Sporean' to ask? Ask your questions?
If Yeo didn't ask the questioner where he came from, I would have thought he was British. He has the same mindset as most Westerners have on China.
washington media is powerful and unmatched and everywhere
He is a PARROT, simply repeating the rhetoric mindlessly! 🤣🤣
He is a western wannabe
Smart of Mr Yeo to ask where asker is from. Usually one would introduce themselves before asking a question.
Maybe a Singapore naturalised citizen.
PLA has new motor tricyles. USMC is shitting their pants 🤣🤣🤣
The naivety of a Singaporean student at Cambridge.
I dun agree on the content mentioned on the justification of the belt and road. The belt and road initiative took place because of over sitmulus in China during 2013 when shanghai stock market had a force stop trading. The over stimulus caused over supply which resulted in the belt and road initiative.
Why did Singapore block RT? Instruction from the master?
👏👏👏😃😃😃👌👌👌👍
Nobody in the audience even laughed or reacted to that durian reference? Oh pity
Actually, I like people protecting self interest. Japan or France having self protective interest is not bad. It is but their dire need to survive. However much of what some powers project as self interest is far from what they say. He studies India for years and decades, knows its balance sheet better than Indians know. When this negative power sees India rising much beyond comfort, they seek the self protection clause. These sharp minds are dictating how much you can grow, what is permissible.
Americans who promotes bandit culture have zero right to wag their finger at others. they also lost their right to complain about terrorism now that these same americans support al qaeda.
Look at what happened to nations with small budgets like Irag, Afghanistan, Libya and others!
If anything you need more firepower than your enemy to keep him at bay
The questioning by the fellow Singaporean lack substance besides straying with a punch opportunity to statement the "mouth" of George yeo, and GY reply nails it.
Westerners: he's a ccp working underground. 😂
Ask him about the 9 dash line claim in South China Sea
The person who asked the first question just shows how much western main stream media has influenced him. He obviously doesn’t refer to other sources of news.
GY moving to China?
Are you offended by facts? Or you feel hurt by your whiteman master? 😁😁
@@andrewlim7751is GY moving to china? It's a simple question
He should replace Xi.
Is that all George!
Respect is the lack on china attitude.
China strategy is no different from how US treated countries which export goods to US. Not only US squeezes the price but is also using its purchasing power to manipulate political correctness. China, in fact is playing a fairer game than US which can only think of smearing China to combat competition.
All economies need investments for growth. If China can step in to provide much needed investment, it should be welcome. China welcomes US as a competitor and recipient countries are free to choose . Many developing countries are trapped in debt by IMF n World Bank loans n funding which are controlled by the West to keep them in check to serve its interest. It is malicious for the West to suggest that China is throwing away its hard earned money in projects which is not commercially viable.
China steals ip, doesnt follow law, sanctions anyone it doesn't like, no free trade. Hardly fair. Stop your lies
what is it to you even if tvhe accusatios are true, which are not!
finally someone with common sense. whoever believe in debt trap while US is the one having 700 military bases is as intelligent as a mango
👍
This ex-SG minister also know that his fellow sinkapolians subscribes to the same propaganda he mentioned.
hahaha, that Cambridge student who asked the 1st question
(he said he's singaporean)did not appear "intelligent" to me.
To the Singaporean who asked the question with biased lingo he picked up from western media : hegemony, debt entrapment, democratic practices, human rights, etc, please read articles not just from western media. Get a more informed picture by listening to the opposite views. George Yeo was clearly saddened the question was coming from a Singaporean. He expected Singaporean to be better. GY's answered wisely.
Good to have guests who speak the truth.
Yes,the news media likes to spins to they own benefits which owns by government or Big business corp ie channel news media CNA which own by Singapore government GLC😂
Glad aljunied voted him out
Blindness…only show one’s ignorance
why George Yeo still need to use his ex job title today 2025 to be noticed ?
I am not convinced
Continue to live in your own bubble of ignorance.
@@ly8370Continue to be a puppet of the CCP
What a stupid thing to write. You're full of US propaganda. 😂
@@vivalaletaSays the Communist puppet. If not for America, you might not have been born or would be living in an autocratic or Communist state.
George should be the Spore PM instead of the bland spineless boring Wangwingwong. ❤indonesia
Too late. He was 3rd gen. 4th gen very different people.
Unfortunately George Yeo was main casualty of the Aljunied constituency worn by the Opposition..
To avoid more internal squabbles within, he took time out of politics and went abroad.. wonder why he didn't give Pres Tharman a challenge for that post recently?
I wish more people would see this video, George Yeo is one of the most outstanding politicians in Singapore
Well, what do you expect a ex-minister of a state where media is heavily government controlled, would say?
He is not wrong though. Through the decades. more and more so called democracies have resorted to media control, just like Singapore from the onset.
That's why we need critical thinking along with analytical skills to navigate the information landscape. It is sad that we have to mistrust all incoming information until proven and/or verified.
The state has always tried to control information, since the beginning of time. There was a time when the lower classes weren't even allowed or given access to be able to read, just so they can be more easily controlled. Such was life. A sign of a well-functioning society will be how generalized and well-educated its citizens are, so they can at least theoretically make informed decisions for themselves..
As for Singapore, well, its citizenry are among the highest percentage of highly educated in the world.
The other wise man from Singapore
Sun Tze art of war is already outdated 😂
China had a refined culture centuries before western fine-dining was born. Fashion and cosmetic were very advanced and sophisticated in the Tang Dynasty and even before. The arts, culture, silk and philosophy were flourishing while the middle class lived in mansions with huge courtyards, opera stage and private pavilions. China's military and social principles were focussed on the population, not the elites. Their emperors worshiped God and all state undertakings must follow the 4 seasons and protect all the contents of planet earth. They respect God, humanity and earth. This is the China of today, not different. Simply by according respects to these three elements, they can do no wrong and can withstand all forces seeking to destroy her. They are protected by the unseen universal force. I have no doubt about this.
Why is George Yeo not back 'to serve' Spore, with challenges facing the 4G Govt n GE year?
You been away for awhile.
They no free bait? lol
Tell that to Sri lankan
@Likeqiang20 what about Sri Lankan?
@@conti-vl6tx ha ha ha no news behind the firewall?
@Likeqiang20 China's total debt in Sri Lanka is only 10%. So most of Sri Lanka financial problems are not due to China, but China gets 90% of the blame.
In which case, it's the people themselves and the leaders who are principally responsible. But we should remember that for many of these countries, the principle creditor are Western countries, Western banks, not China.
@conti-vl6tx you put the straw on the camels back, you get the blame
Sorry but I just want to ask if China follows the International Laws and does not bully the other countries? Is China does in the WPS is propaganda?
you pinoys are doing the bulling bring cnn crews to document your proganda
You just accused of china what the US have been doing for the past 200 years. How many treaties have you angloids broke? ALL OF THEM.
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated!
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsaoknas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $200k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
What do we know right? Haha
He's in what position to represent on behalf of China?He lived there?He spoke Mandarin?
He didn't represent China
@@conti-vl6txhe is well paid though, ha ha ha
Australia agrees 100% with you except for our America kissing LNP puppets.
America kissing? Stupid comment. America is a greater ally than China would ever be
So glad he got voted out.
GY knows that One China Policy includes Singapore and a threat to the UK
Singaporean has very wise leaders. Truly respect! The world we are living in are not own mind so do our actions!
There is a chinese saying throw a long line to catch a big fish. What is losing money in order to gain a strategic military foothold in any of the country. Indeed china has the capacity to do that.
Focus on trade and cooperation, not conflict and war.
so here we go again...this guy said chinese hegemony? Did they bribe you?
On a per capita basis, the average Chinese consumes more meat than the average American. Also, it’s insane that a retired foreign minister is quoting The Art of War 😊
Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
Or you are talking out of your arse?
Where did you get the stats that chinese consumes more meat than average Americans?
Also, do u get what he means by quoting sun tze art of war?
This has been minister must have forgotten about what happened of the singapore government s investment in suzhou industrial park and the trap they set for old lee to fall into😂
ohhhhh no, to the Cambridge chinamen (like the smart ass "I'm Singaporean" boy) George Yeo must be the ultimate wumao 😂😂😂
And you're a nobody from a crumbling empire that repeats the same script given by your cia masters. Americans: OOHH DONT BELIEVE THE GOVT. Also Americans: OOO WHAT THE GOVT SAID ABOUT CHINA MUST HE TRUE. You zero credibility nobody. Cant even tell what a woman is nor even tell head to toe between other races like muslims and sikhs, chinese and other asians and hispanics apart.
When americans starts losing they start call people names. Ok kindergarderner. You still cant tell what a woman is.
You sound more like "无毛”.
Lol hongki think hes white
Well, whats happened to countries that cannot pay? That's enough evidence
Support this man on China's view
He's in China's pocket 🫣🙄🥱
Wish the average American could understand what he says..
Yuan is collapsing, what's going on?
More bs .😂😂😂
more indian fake news
Yes. For 5000 years it has been collapsing 😂 yet, China is the world's second largest economy 😆
@@jsyo9639he says more bs than he ever has when it comes to china 😂
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SINGAPORE PRESIDENT BUT DECLINED THE OFFER😊
Evidence to support this?
it is better this way.. as an individual, he is free to speak his mind. just like the way it should be
I felt his disappointment when the boy said he is Singaporean 😂.
This ex-foreign minister must be joking! Using his way of intepretation, China will not build so many warplanes and warships if they are not interested to go to war. It is very expensive to do so. If it is for defence, you do not need such a budget and so much weapon.
China's military budget is a much smaller percentage of GDP compared to other nations. China is not interested in power projection as opposed to the US. China needs a strong military because historically it has been bullied. You must be joking.
l suggest you read some history about the alliance of 8 nations invasion on China, the 2 opium wars and japanese invasion of WWII. Perhaps that will wake you up.
Then why does US maintain 800 military bases all over the world and spend one trillion USD every year to build up their insanely huge nuclear arsenal? Go figure!
How much is US defense budget compared to China and US has 800 military bases around the world with 313 surrounding China. So you think US has a god given right to encircle and threaten whichever country it wants?
@@stevencher9968 Such a massively mixed and dis-organized country ... with some many issues ..No democratic country would want to conquer the PRChina ??. and then be responsible for taking care of the Chinese for social benefits, affordable health-care and address human rights issues ??
Every book on politics, religion and history is biased.
So is every source of media where its owned by the culprit, or legally enslaved by the culprit via permits etc that must be approved.
In the end, even if u live in that country, u still dont know whats really going on.
