It has been nothing short of remarkable that a city-state as geographically diminutive as Singapore could produce a leader of such significant stature, one who has managed to wield immense influence on the global stage. This remarkable individual has achieved this not through the exercise of brute force or the accumulation of power, but rather through the application of profound wisdom and strategic acumen.
Salute to our senior minister and ex-PM of Singapore. He is fluent in English and Mandarin. He is knowledgeable of economic, geopolitics, etc. Singapore younger generation of Chinese must make an effort to study their mother tongue language, Mandarin, besides fluency in English. They would appreciate the Chinese culture and civilisation. To be able to communicate well in Mandarin and English, the Singaporeans would have a great future ahead to trade with China and the rest of the world.
He also strategically aligned SG to U$, he is also the first ASEAN leader to come out publicly to condemn RF for the whole world to see and to show how "powerful" SG has become by simply aligning to U$ policy just like Marcos of PH. As a result SG is now on Russia's entity list and crosshair endangering the entire ASEAN community in the event of a global conflict. Singaporean must be proud that you are all aligned with the U$. Congrats, SG will now be protected by USA!
He is also fluent in Malay too (which I'm sure you know too, but just pointing it out for the folks here). I wanted to point out that this is an interview with a Chinese audience so while I agree that learning Mandarin is important, FAR MORE important AND urgent now is to revisit Malay, as Singaporeans have obviously lost our fluency with that language in one generation. I rather we sacrifice a bit of Chinese proficiency to at least have conversational Malay ability.

Good question on gaming to increase awareness and interest in the Chinese language.

Through that, I discover the splendor of Chinese history and developed great interest in it.
Very good insights .... I agree and i support China... I ❤ China but the covid and the superpower status and arrogance has destroyed China's reputation... I hope China's leadership can be practical and work WITH the west even if that means making concessions temporarily ... Pre covid was a beautiful time.
The key is whi decides what is the International Order. Right now it is only the collective west of less than 20 countries decided for the rest of the 194 countries of the world.
I would recommend every person in the countryside to stay if they are happy. One may have less material wealth but can have more natural wealth. And one is close to food which can get scares from time to time as the older generations in China know too well.
Whether one is happy or not is NOT the issue............the ISSUE is why SGP's system has FAILED to prevent such unmitigated DISASTERS which affects everybody esp those over 65 which according to statista numbered 771.24 in 2023 & the relentless increased in COL.
You guys should know China lacks water. Climate change and extreme weather events exacerbated the lack of water in many countries and it will one day become a problem for China. So don’t think you can hide in some village and the problem will go away. The last time I heard the Chinese government made sure that the first tier cities like Shanghai secure their water resources while many small villages were left to fend for themselves with the dwindling water supply. That’s how water allocation will be like in bad times so I hope you will not be naive about thinking that staying in villages is the best option.

China needs to do adjustment, likewise, those so-called developed countries need to do adjustment. everyone needs to think that the way of the world runs is subject to some popular values or to the interest of some existed developed countries.
@@bingliu-china , I thought so, if the society is managed "correctly", as long a worker can "walk" to work, he could still be employed. In the West, automation is solely aimed at removing the employees at any level possible: lack of social responsibility.
Opine, these days, the "Thucydides Trap approach" often used to describe the rivalry narratives between U.S.A and the CCP led PRChina. Perhaps, China scholars and China observers should also look into the motivations of previous 20th Century's most infamous German Dictator of the Third Reich and the comparisons of his desires for; world domination and the promotion of the Aryan race were rooted in a combination of extreme nationalism, militarism acquisition of lands and vital/essential resources .. and the distorted ideology of racial superiority to re-dress injustice and humiliations of the past.
A lot of China’s issues are self inflicted because they prioritize security and national politics over economic and social growth and reform. While national security and politics are important, economic and social growth and reform remain 硬道理。 Without a strong economy and cohesive society (not through censoring speech and stiffening views, but sensible laws and unbias implementation), China can never become strong. I sincerely hope that China government can rethink and reprioritize their development path - be an inspiring global benevolent power
But what choice has China got? Has the environment from the West be less aggressive, China would have double her basic infrastructure twice faster than today. It is obvious, China had no choice but to show that she is capable of defending herself if anyone think war is his option.
Sr. Min. Lee's responses and articulation of the realities is precise and accurate from my view point. Salami slicing strategy has eroded trust. IP theft has eroded trust Intimidating smaller countries has eroded trust One-way market access has eroded trust. Other than that the CCP is doing the right things. The key word is 'restraint' something that CN's large western neighbour and equally large power-in-the making has demonstrated for generation even while being violated by brutish arab armies in pre-contemporary history making it a far more reslient society. Something that CN never had to face.
Lee, China is history is 4000 years recorded. and not 5000 years. If not wrong, it starts at Xia, Shang, and Zhou 221.B.C till today. Can Mr Lee explain where he got the information that China has a record history of 5000 years?
The late LKY seemed not entirely satisfied with the SIP project in some retrospective interviews…not like what it was originally designed…that’s why the 60/40 happened…kind of a partially giving-up
GIC/TH hv been known to be UNABLE to extract themselves of their PRC investments for about 2 yrs.....,,,,surely it is because LHL/HC did not foresee such adverse implications of the deteriorating US-PRC relations.........In any case the said US-PRC relations is NOT the only issue........from what I've read it is more due to the Chinese President policies. In any case, what is GIC/TH & MOF doing in the next 10 yrs...............just increase the COL!!!
Listening to LHL or George Yeo, you can tell this is the hallmark of high quality statesmen , unlike kishore mahbubani who talked nonsense who kept harping about Asian countries's humiliation that made them grow advantagesly, full of rubbish
I disagree with you. I prefer listening to Professor Kishore and Professor Yeo, when speak they don't need to be politically correct, they just speak their minds. Also there is nothing wrong in speaking about the suffering of the Asian countries and their people at the hands of their Colonizers and Imperialists in the past. History should be discussed about and remembered.
& what exactly hv the 2 Prof speak their minds about? The FACT & realities of the unmitigated disasters hv been highlighted by me time & again.............why these so-called Prof dun care about the country's & sinkies well being.........is it just because they, being paid handsomely, dare not speak the truth about such unmitigated disasters?
@hengbin2974 - What unmitigated disaster are you talking about? Singapore is doing well in every aspect and the people's living standards are among the best in the world. Yeah, one thing I do see the difference is now there are lots of Indians that have taken up the jobs of the local-born Singaporeans.
Either U R in Total Denial or hv been living in Mars..............I've REPEATEDLY mentioned about the epic failures bt LHL and his wife Ho Ching in their epic mismanagement of the C-19 pandemic with negative results still counting & the tens if not hundreds of BILLIONs LOSSES. If these dun constitute "unmitigated disasters" which hv cost thousands of preventable DEATHS, undue sufferings/hardships and billions of waste........eg the USELESS TT-tokens which LHL/HC hv abandoned after wasting over 100 million $, & something I'd opposed from the very beginning,. Why dun U identify yourself & we can debate at a public inquiry into such "unmitigated disasters" which have resulted from LHL & HC's arrogance, incompetence etc?
Trade and reap economic benefits for Singapore by all means but never comprise our principle and value of upholding and defending a rules-based international order.
Agree with you. But who decides the international order? Who sets the rule? Is it still relevant? Who controls? And does those who set it up in the first place follows? Do we want to follow blindly?
@@ongdavid4896 Oh, so you’re wondering who gets to be the international referee, huh? It’s like having a football match where only the referee’s team gets to make the rules-yellow card, red card, and suddenly someone introduces handball just because they feel like it. Classic! But let’s break it down. The “International Order” is like an unwritten set of house rules for global politics, where the players (countries) agree not to throw food at each other during dinner-unless someone’s being a real pain. Historically, yes, it’s been shaped by a handful of powerful Western countries because, well, they managed to grab the world’s remote control first. It’s like when your cousin has the PlayStation controller and refuses to let you change the game, even though you paid for the pizza. Now, our friend here is raising a solid point: why do less than 20 countries get to decide the rules for the whole planet? With 194 countries, it’s a bit like having a family reunion where only your stingy uncle and chatty auntie decide the dinner menu. Where’s the input from the rest of the family? What about the vegetarian cousin or the aunt who loves spicy food? In theory, the international order should be more inclusive, right? But as it stands, the countries holding the biggest economic, military, and political sway-kind of like the oldest kids on the playground-are the ones calling the shots. Yet, just like in every family, the smaller voices are getting louder, asking for their turn to speak up. So, maybe it’s time for the international order to be a bit more like a buffet where everyone gets a say, and not just the people hogging the dessert station.
@@pgobserver254 Thanks for your great and detailed sharing. Much appreciated. That is preciously why I am asking the person who post the initial comments. To know his stand and point
@@pgobserver254When you have 194 countries setting the rules you will never have consensus. Let’s be realistic. A few countries, probably the more powerful with most resources, will have to lead and set the rules.
My thoughts are the encircling of China by the west rest on the issue of she being communist. Decades of geopolitical decisions which rested on the superiority of democratic versus authoritarian states would lose its credibility. Had China been a democratic state, she would face totally different sets of encircling like election interference etc.
Being socialist is not the reason for US's behavior but being outcompeted by China's advances in practically all aspects of industrialization is the main cause especially just a century ago, China was available to be cowed less than a century ago! Did they all support Vietnam? The West could not handle China so they recruited Japan, South Korea and India to join the gang. By the look of the scenario, China does not seem to be bothered!
Is this Editor-in-Chief a Singaporean or China Chinese? She speaks with a strong chinese accent when speaking in Chinese but at the same time speaks Singlish. SM Lee refers to her as "you" when speaking about China yet she was supposedly educated in Singapore and presumably a Singapore citizen? What is this, so confusing lol
Every year we give 30k citizenships to their kind. (1% of our population). 5 years that will be (5% of our population are new citizens) when election is held, who do you think these will vote for? True singaporeans need to wake up.
What is your objective? Open up your eyes. Singapore also has an influx of India Indians working here under the Ceca agreement with India. Also, many of them have permanent residency and became new citizens. Singapore also has a huge number of Malaysian working here as pmets. This also includes the Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Blangah workers, and pmets. Singapore welcomes talents from all over the world.
It is not difficult to see what happened when your kind took over. Just look northward, he denounced his ancestors just to keep his family's interests safe. And their national problems which lingered on until today began with him.
I find that his speech lets out the frustrations of China with USA, but kept the tone sharply down. Singapore has to be diplomatic with both China and USA as it is not in our interest or the interest of China or USA if we start bashing either.
The issue is not with China or US. Chinese people have been honest, industrious and hardworking… they are capable of great things. The problem is the CCP and their agenda.
@@yashsawalkar646 like their 9 dash line shenanigans, like their constant threat of invading another sovereign nation. Like their annexation and assimilation of Tibet and Xinjiang. It was never the west that is holding Chinese progress, it’s the CCP. The flood of goods into Europe/America would cause a backlash regardless of country.
Can you criticise Xi? Can you criticise the fact young people don't have jobs? Can you reject having a vaccine or wearing a mask? Do you have the ability to critically evaluate anything in China? Will CCP use face recognition, AI, automated transportation system to control your movements and even your thoughts using AI chips to transcribe all your communication, literally all the information that eves your brain and ask the outputs that you make into the world? You're a slave, an automated human like, subjugated slave who owns not even their thoughts, creativity or even your emotions.

Mr. LHL speaks like a representative of the US, and other Western countries. People like him and some overseas Chinese, especially from Hong Kong and Singapore who still have the Colonial Mindsets seeped deep into their minds find it fair that we Chinese should always get the shorter end of the stick to please their Colonial masters. When they are privately among the Chinese they will appear to be more vocal against the Westerners, but in public they will say just the opposite. It is sad to say that people like them are the one who have held us back in advancing and competing with the Western Imperialists.
Look at how the CCP is handling the 9 dash line issue. That is just a glimpse of what a CCP world order would look like. When DXP came to Singapore to learn and went back to China to establish the SEZ, everyone was happy to see the progress. But now with the power and wealth, the CCP is trying to play punk with various territories. Only goes to show that if the CCP becomes too big it will become an oppressive neighbour. See Tibet and Xinjiang for example
One point to note is also the debt trap that the CCP has offered the 3rd world countries. Lending other poorer countries with huge amount of amount knowing they are unable to repay and also using their Chinese companies/workers to build the infrastructure, and eventually taking over the region or project cuz the other countries won’t be able to settle their debts
@@bamboohat7 9 dash line(1949) supersedes 11-dash line(1947). It predates UNCLOS came into effect only in 1982(UNCLOS is late comer to enforce WPS(2012) to be placed on SCS as per👇🏼 😁Edinburgh Geographical Institute(uk) printed SCS on world map 1931. A credible publisher.
Lee Kuan Yew at age 5, invaded by Japan soldier, the soldier arrive and called all the kids nearby to board the Japanese soldier lorry, then he forgot to take something, go back to house, and lorry departed, those kids boarded on the lorry gone missing forever in Singapore. So, I wonder how LSL can exists here talking alive today.
It has been nothing short of remarkable that a city-state as geographically diminutive as Singapore could produce a leader of such significant stature, one who has managed to wield immense influence on the global stage. This remarkable individual has achieved this not through the exercise of brute force or the accumulation of power, but rather through the application of profound wisdom and strategic acumen.

But ultimately.. They will still be closer to China..
USA dwells too much in War.. And Western culture is too freedom based..
East Asians don't like that..
The reason why East Asian countries dislike about China.. Is the same reason why they dislike themselves.. Their governments are likewise very Authoritarian.. Like China.. And a little bullying.. With looking down on weaker or poorer..
They dislike China because they dislike themselves as much.. They understand why China acts the way China does..
And 90% don't believe China is going to launch any Wars.. Contradictory to what West media like to portray..
The only reason of that fake counter balance is USA pressuring them..
Or else.. You think they don't want to buy cheaper Chinese military weapons???

China needs to do adjustment, likewise, those so-called developed countries need to do adjustment. everyone needs to think that the way of the world runs is subject to some popular values or to the interest of some existed developed countries.
We can have Mee Pok in China too thank u ex PM Lee with Mee Pok Mai Hum.
The former Premier of Singapore explains about some critical issues developed overtime globally. 15:25
China Work force is 780 millions. What is the concern of reduction of population. China is more concerned of ensuring full employment.
事实上，劳动力的减少是有利的。未来是自动化的时代，根本没有办法创造更多的劳动密集型就业，加上ai的发展，无人出租，无人工厂，进一步冲击。别看印度现在人口这么多，他没有赶上二十年前的末班车，永远摆脱不了贫困国家
@@bingliu-china 我同意！但未來很少會直線發展..我們必須等待並觀察 :)
@@bingliu-china , I thought so, if the society is managed "correctly", as long a worker can "walk" to work, he could still be employed. In the West, automation is solely aimed at removing the employees at any level possible: lack of social responsibility.

很喜欢听李光耀和李显龙对于中国的评价😊
Whatever former PM said does not mean he wished for. Not everything says it is what it will happen.
Opine, these days, the "Thucydides Trap approach" often used to describe the rivalry narratives between U.S.A and the CCP led PRChina. Perhaps, China scholars and China observers should also look into the motivations of previous 20th Century's most infamous German Dictator of the Third Reich and the comparisons of his desires for; world domination and the promotion of the Aryan race were rooted in a combination of extreme nationalism, militarism acquisition of lands and vital/essential resources .. and the distorted ideology of racial superiority to re-dress injustice and humiliations of the past.
A lot of China’s issues are self inflicted because they prioritize security and national politics over economic and social growth and reform. While national security and politics are important, economic and social growth and reform remain 硬道理。 Without a strong economy and cohesive society (not through censoring speech and stiffening views, but sensible laws and unbias implementation), China can never become strong. I sincerely hope that China government can rethink and reprioritize their development path - be an inspiring global benevolent power
新加坡的外部环境能和中国一样吗 反华经费花在新加坡身上了 ？
But what choice has China got? Has the environment from the West be less aggressive, China would have double her basic infrastructure twice faster than today. It is obvious, China had no choice but to show that she is capable of defending herself if anyone think war is his option.
Sr. Min. Lee's responses and articulation of the realities is precise and accurate from my view point.
Salami slicing strategy has eroded trust.
IP theft has eroded trust
Intimidating smaller countries has eroded trust
One-way market access has eroded trust.
Other than that the CCP is doing the right things. The key word is 'restraint' something that CN's large western neighbour and equally large power-in-the making has demonstrated for generation even while being violated by brutish arab armies in pre-contemporary history making it a far more reslient society. Something that CN never had to face.
So, you still thought the PI theft is true notwithstanding the explanation by Prof. Richard Wolff? Or is your God Modi said so?

GIC/TH hv been known to be UNABLE to extract themselves of their PRC investments for about 2 yrs.....,,,,surely it is because LHL/HC did not foresee such adverse implications of the deteriorating US-PRC relations.........In any case the said US-PRC relations is NOT the only issue........from what I've read it is more due to the Chinese President policies. In any case, what is GIC/TH & MOF doing in the next 10 yrs...............just increase the COL!!!
Hong kong so long time im share horse Racing.any county .
Listening to LHL or George Yeo, you can tell this is the hallmark of high quality statesmen , unlike kishore mahbubani who talked nonsense who kept harping about Asian countries's humiliation that made them grow advantagesly, full of rubbish
I disagree with you. I prefer listening to Professor Kishore and Professor Yeo, when speak they don't need to be politically correct, they just speak their minds.
Also there is nothing wrong in speaking about the suffering of the Asian countries and their people at the hands of their Colonizers and Imperialists in the past.
History should be discussed about and remembered.
Yes, both LHL and George Yeo are great statemen.
& what exactly hv the 2 Prof speak their minds about? The FACT & realities of the unmitigated disasters hv been highlighted by me time & again.............why these so-called Prof dun care about the country's & sinkies well being.........is it just because they, being paid handsomely, dare not speak the truth about such unmitigated disasters?
@hengbin2974 -
What unmitigated disaster are you talking about? Singapore is doing well in every aspect and the people's living standards are among the best in the world.
Yeah, one thing I do see the difference is now there are lots of Indians that have taken up the jobs of the local-born Singaporeans.
Either U R in Total Denial or hv been living in Mars..............I've REPEATEDLY mentioned about the epic failures bt LHL and his wife Ho Ching in their epic mismanagement of the C-19 pandemic with negative results still counting & the tens if not hundreds of BILLIONs LOSSES. If these dun constitute "unmitigated disasters" which hv cost thousands of preventable DEATHS, undue sufferings/hardships and billions of waste........eg the USELESS TT-tokens which LHL/HC hv abandoned after wasting over 100 million $, & something I'd opposed from the very beginning,. Why dun U identify yourself & we can debate at a public inquiry into such "unmitigated disasters" which have resulted from LHL & HC's arrogance, incompetence etc?

Trade and reap economic benefits for Singapore by all means but never comprise our principle and value of upholding and defending a rules-based international order.
Agree with you. But who decides the international order? Who sets the rule? Is it still relevant? Who controls? And does those who set it up in the first place follows? Do we want to follow blindly?
@@ongdavid4896 Oh, so you’re wondering who gets to be the international referee, huh? It’s like having a football match where only the referee’s team gets to make the rules-yellow card, red card, and suddenly someone introduces handball just because they feel like it. Classic!
But let’s break it down. The “International Order” is like an unwritten set of house rules for global politics, where the players (countries) agree not to throw food at each other during dinner-unless someone’s being a real pain. Historically, yes, it’s been shaped by a handful of powerful Western countries because, well, they managed to grab the world’s remote control first. It’s like when your cousin has the PlayStation controller and refuses to let you change the game, even though you paid for the pizza.
Now, our friend here is raising a solid point: why do less than 20 countries get to decide the rules for the whole planet? With 194 countries, it’s a bit like having a family reunion where only your stingy uncle and chatty auntie decide the dinner menu. Where’s the input from the rest of the family? What about the vegetarian cousin or the aunt who loves spicy food?
In theory, the international order should be more inclusive, right? But as it stands, the countries holding the biggest economic, military, and political sway-kind of like the oldest kids on the playground-are the ones calling the shots. Yet, just like in every family, the smaller voices are getting louder, asking for their turn to speak up.
So, maybe it’s time for the international order to be a bit more like a buffet where everyone gets a say, and not just the people hogging the dessert station.
@@pgobserver254 Thanks for your great and detailed sharing. Much appreciated. That is preciously why I am asking the person who post the initial comments. To know his stand and point
@@pgobserver254When you have 194 countries setting the rules you will never have consensus. Let’s be realistic. A few countries, probably the more powerful with most resources, will have to lead and set the rules.

My thoughts are the encircling of China by the west rest on the issue of she being communist. Decades of geopolitical decisions which rested on the superiority of democratic versus authoritarian states would lose its credibility. Had China been a democratic state, she would face totally different sets of encircling like election interference etc.
日本当初发展成世界第二的国家，因为没有主权，也被美国给一脚踩到了地下
Being socialist is not the reason for US's behavior but being outcompeted by China's advances in practically all aspects of industrialization is the main cause especially just a century ago, China was available to be cowed less than a century ago! Did they all support Vietnam? The West could not handle China so they recruited Japan, South Korea and India to join the gang. By the look of the scenario, China does not seem to be bothered!

Is this Editor-in-Chief a Singaporean or China Chinese? She speaks with a strong chinese accent when speaking in Chinese but at the same time speaks Singlish. SM Lee refers to her as "you" when speaking about China yet she was supposedly educated in Singapore and presumably a Singapore citizen? What is this, so confusing lol
Answers you can find them on the internet.
I think it's not necessary to post an online comment for it
Good evening sir
Every year we give 30k citizenships to their kind. (1% of our population). 5 years that will be (5% of our population are new citizens) when election is held, who do you think these will vote for? True singaporeans need to wake up.
What is your objective? Open up your eyes. Singapore also has an influx of India Indians working here under the Ceca agreement with India. Also, many of them have permanent residency and became new citizens. Singapore also has a huge number of Malaysian working here as pmets. This also includes the Philippines, Myanmar, Indonesia, Blangah workers, and pmets. Singapore welcomes talents from all over the world.
It is not difficult to see what happened when your kind took over. Just look northward, he denounced his ancestors just to keep his family's interests safe. And their national problems which lingered on until today began with him.

I find that his speech lets out the frustrations of China with USA, but kept the tone sharply down. Singapore has to be diplomatic with both China and USA as it is not in our interest or the interest of China or USA if we start bashing either.

The issue is not with China or US. Chinese people have been honest, industrious and hardworking… they are capable of great things. The problem is the CCP and their agenda.
Like what?
@@yashsawalkar646 like their 9 dash line shenanigans, like their constant threat of invading another sovereign nation. Like their annexation and assimilation of Tibet and Xinjiang. It was never the west that is holding Chinese progress, it’s the CCP.
The flood of goods into Europe/America would cause a backlash regardless of country.
Can you criticise Xi? Can you criticise the fact young people don't have jobs? Can you reject having a vaccine or wearing a mask? Do you have the ability to critically evaluate anything in China? Will CCP use face recognition, AI, automated transportation system to control your movements and even your thoughts using AI chips to transcribe all your communication, literally all the information that eves your brain and ask the outputs that you make into the world? You're a slave, an automated human like, subjugated slave who owns not even their thoughts, creativity or even your emotions.

Mr. LHL speaks like a representative of the US, and other Western countries.
People like him and some overseas Chinese, especially from Hong Kong and Singapore who still have the Colonial Mindsets seeped deep into their minds find it fair that we Chinese should always get the shorter end of the stick to please their Colonial masters.
When they are privately among the Chinese they will appear to be more vocal against the Westerners, but in public they will say just the opposite.
It is sad to say that people like them are the one who have held us back in advancing and competing with the Western Imperialists.
Look at how the CCP is handling the 9 dash line issue. That is just a glimpse of what a CCP world order would look like. When DXP came to Singapore to learn and went back to China to establish the SEZ, everyone was happy to see the progress. But now with the power and wealth, the CCP is trying to play punk with various territories. Only goes to show that if the CCP becomes too big it will become an oppressive neighbour. See Tibet and Xinjiang for example
One point to note is also the debt trap that the CCP has offered the 3rd world countries. Lending other poorer countries with huge amount of amount knowing they are unable to repay and also using their Chinese companies/workers to build the infrastructure, and eventually taking over the region or project cuz the other countries won’t be able to settle their debts
Huge amount of money*
