Dr. Kang repeated Chinese overcapacity propaganda without a second thought, 87%+ Korea's automobile productions are exports, that number for China is around 6%, meaning the overwhelming majority of Chinese production is for domestic auto market while Korea is the opposite, if overcapacity is a real problem South Korea should be the 1st one on the list to get whacked. she better not complain when there are 100% tariffs against Korean cars.

It is about time that the Asia Society has an Asian as its president. The three short months Dr, Kang has shown her extraordinary leadership in organizing much better events and bringing more knowledgeable and balanced speakers. During the tenure under Rudd, we had mostly only white guests discussing Asia amongst themselves. Thank you, Dr. Kang😢

Your idea of being a Peace maker as a responsibility of a great nation as contrast with trouble and war promoters is a core argument

I'm pleasantly surprised that George Yeo is invited. Asia Society under Kevin Rudd has degenerated to become a forum of guest speakers with known anti-China views to serve not the cause of peace and understanding but one of hate, fears and falsehoods. Kevin mostly kept the comments section closed, a tell tale sign of a propaganda mouthpiece. George has a keen understanding as an observer and practitioner, in cross-cultural and geopolitical dynamics. Above all, he's a man of peace. In these dangerous times when tribal mindset threatens to exterminate humanity, we need more peacemakers than warmongers. The world is doomed if it's about US vs China but incredibly synergic if it's US + China, together with EU, India, Japan and Russia, uplifting the rest of the world to become partners to solve existential global problems. I hope (naively?) that's the mission of Asia Society too. Let's start with the premises that US and China are stronger together, a positive sum game and that they want peace.

The one that is worth listening to in the forum organised by the Asia Society in the US is George Yeo.

This has to be one of the greatest talk by a statesman of our time, answering a multitude of pertinent questions with clarity in simple language. Bravo, Mr George Yeo.

Proud to be first viewer of this amazing video. Big fan of George Yeo,former FM Singapore 🤝. Whatever he says about China is absolutely true✅🤝🇨🇳.

Reunification is the rights of Korean people. Well said Mr. Yeo

This is one of the responsible and accountible man providing facts and comprehensis analysis. Yeo has always been the voice for good.

When a country views competition as I win you loose, that’s the root of the problem.

Many thank to George Yeo for his talk, it is eye opennning and mind widering sharing, much appreciated 👍❤

Outstanding as always Mr George Yeo 👏👏👏👏

George Yeo would have been the PM of Singapore if he had not lost the election in Aljunied constituency. Singaporeans have great respect for this man.

Mr. Yeo is brilliant, sophisticated, and cultured, as always. Bravo!

Those differences led China and the US to grow ever further apart Reason 1: There's no slaughter, loot and genocide against ethnic minorities in China, the 'I Can't Breathe' incident never happened in China. Reason 2: China does not allow 1% of the population to own more than 90% of the population's total wealth. Reason 3: China does not allow its people to die in mass shootings, let alone let school children get massacred by guns. Reason 4: China does not allow the drug problem to plague the country and kill more than 100,000 people every year. Reason 5: China has never invaded other countries or engaged in colonial expansion. Reason 6: China never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, and never seeks and fosters agents abroad. Reason 7: China has never based its foreign policies on 'cheating, lying and stealing', unlike the US China sees such motto is shame, not pride. Reason 8: China has never sought to dominate the world, nor deprived any country (region) of its right of development. On the contrary, China shares development and prosperity with all trading partners. Reason 9: China will never do anything to weaken or eliminate an opponent in order to win. Instead, China is focused on bettering itself. Reason 10: China never fires missiles at wandering balloons, but heavily invests in better infrastructures so Chinese people can enjoy better life, safety and health.

Since when the imperial capital never tense? Such a true statement since ancient China.

Wonderful speaker, thank you for sharing this generous and insightful presentation by one of the greatest minds from Singapore and Asia.

Singaporian always generates the deep thinkers, wise man and knowledge man.

He spoke readily from his heart....

Thank you Asia Society for making the lecture public.

USA : Please help us to end the Ukraine War so that we can concentrate War in the island of Taiwan with you. China : You're Nuts

This type of person should invited very knowledgeable person.I'm so thankful

It is nice to see an Asian, Dr. Kyung-wha Kang, as the leader of Asia society. Mr. Yeo, as always, it's great to hear you talk.

The potential prime minister of Singapore who was not to be. An engineer by training, historian par excellence, views well sought after globally. In my opinion, his global views n perspectives is second most sought after, after LKY! The other is prof Kishore. Wonder who has more global stage? But doesn’t matter. Both are Singaporeans, both are well respected globally & both do Singapore proud at the world stage!

The only issue between China and the US is that China does not bend the knee to the US.

There is never a doubt of George Yeo vast experience n knowledge on China and its historical extrapolation. But I have to disagree with his comment that US is the bedrock of ideas and designs n China is exceptionally prowess in manufacturing abilities. It is not true now, China has the most articles published on science and technology n patents over the last 5 years. A recent article from ASPI pronounced that China is ahead in 37 out of the 43 new technologies that would figure prominently in the Future.

Clearly shown when one’s thought is not bias, constructive and clear articulation of truth flows

These knowledgeable speakers will serve the cause of peace and better understanding between the US and China, in these dangerous times of sabre rattling: Jeffrey Sachs, an American diplomat/academic who tirelessly advocates diplomacy in conflict resolution. Pascal Coppers, a Belgian with deep knowledge of Chinese culture and doing business in China. Prof David Kang, a Korean American prof who can unravel many false assumptions about China. I'm sure there are many many more that your viewers can recommend. My underlying premises is that without China and the US coming together, humanity is doomed. Why? Technology developments like AI will be used for war rather than for peace. Any miscalculation based on mistrust could spiral into Armageddon in hours ending humanity. Existential threats like climate change will be neglected. I hope Dr Kang will pursue the professed mission of Asia Society courageously.

Dr Eric li and kishor watch their video very interesting

This should be how our today ministers should be - sort after , highly intellectual and thoughts leaders !

Boeing is certainly having over capacity problems with their Max.

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Very deep thoughts in George Yeo's speech.

Tq you Sir 🫡😇 for sharing your knowledgeable, understanding and explanation problems that we are facing now. Indeed a very Sad 😭 thing to see people's always creating unhealthy atmosphere among themselves. We need more leadership like yourself to bring more understanding,harmony and peaceful in this modern world.🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🌈❤

Thank you George Yeo

What a brilliant man. Mr. Yeo is new to me and I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this conversation and Mr Yeo.

There are only two ways to lead: you either divide and conquer, or you build and unite😅

China read: ‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’ - Napoleon Bonaparte

Excellent interview. One minor point though: at the end of the interview the host expressed that George Yeoh has 20 decades of experiences. Being a Singaporean we know that George Yeoh is definitely not over 200 years old 😊

Yes. Avoiding fixed ideologies is key to a successful future. Being willing to change our ideas of ourselves and of each other while pursuing mutual understanding is the way forward.

"In our society today there is not enough of the feminine instinct, to see each for what it is and to help that person to interact with another person for what he/she is. The Mother cares for all." Refreshing to hear this. Something I have thought about my whole adult life. The feminine is missing from American politics and political power structure and whenever it gets introduced, there is a huge backlash, not just against the feminine aspect as "weak,' but against women themselves. I hope I live long enough to see this change and all will be respected and sustained, whatever our gifts and talents.

Mr Yeo's point about corruption is right on. Chinese People who have benefited from the corruption in the early years are usually ones pessimistic about the country's future.

Bravo Mr Yeo, Bravo!

The world would be a better place if the the us government has a figure like Mr Yeo

Korean Dr Kyung are not neutral & biased towards western to discuss US-China issue.

Superb conversation! Informative, thoughtful, nuanced. My understanding is deepened, my perspective broadened, my curiosity sparked. A privilege. Thank you. Best wishes.

You can be a winner but do not cheat.

George will be a great foreign minister and a better candidate as PM for Singapore

I have to buy George 's book.

Always the best person to talk about geopolitics surely is George Yeo❤

Starts with a criticism of asia society for sewing division, the audacity of this guy! If more people like him speak out, maybe we can pass over the world to our kids without breaking it.

Give peace a chance.

To Dr. Kang, how do you define over capacity? China only export a small percentage of the EV they produced. Compared to South Korea and Japan, whose auto industry heavily depends on exports.

George Yeo is among one of the greatest statesman that is still relevant. As for Myamar, there will no longer be any issue there if the evil hegemonic crumbling empire lay their hidden hands off.

It's easy to build bridges that anyone can pass on or to not build any bridges. It's much harder and more important -- more helpful -- to build bridges that have ethical check points, based on mutual (international) agreement, for both parties that pass by. This ensures there is mutual respect, consistent, transparent and consultative relationships, not just with those who have the power to build bridges (or destroy them), yet also for the many people who pass over them and for whom are affected by the decisions of the powerful.

Here we really have TGIM & THIT- can you beat that!

👏👏👏

Yao BLINDLY forgets that there ha😂ve been several Democratic movements in China mainland(militarily crushed) & that all ‘western’ democracies were at one point dictatorships of kings.

Myanmar I am sad for you . The nation are clean and the people are respectful. I pray for Myanmar to have peace

More Chinese scholars should be invited to explain their case. EV il Anglos are dominating the discourse and are distorting the truth

What is the book title?

Too few questions from Audience. George has a reputation as pro china in USA. He is not pro china but bridge builder. West should send more students n tourists to the east.

Sooner or later any international relationship should be between the nations’s governments than people opinion.

Re the first audience’s question on US gov as a protector of human rights in South East Asia, you got to be joking. First of all, the US gov got no rights to talk about human rights. Are you so naive that you still believe that the US politicians care about anyone else other than their own political and economic interest? Look at how US politicians are supporting and funding Israel’s genocide on Palestineans, do you need further elaboration here? Secondly, US is a troublemaker everywhere they set foot on, including their very own soil which they conveniently robbed from the red indians. South East Asia, and the world would be in greater peace without US

Really love the conversation, but am I the only who thinks the audio quality of the video is very poor? Sounds very difficult to hear the speakers, and almost sounds overcompressed, clicky and full of noise.

Time will tell if GY’s view of US and China is correct , no need to praise or criticise him; the situation is far more complex and unpredictable.

The US trying to change China is like a child trying to change an old man.

5:00. 27:20. 31:15

Merlion mighty 🙏🙂 Peter 60 saya

Why is the audio recording so bad?? Is this 1984 or 2024??

why George Yeo needed so much money unlike other Singapore former ministers , they don't need to give speeches everywhere

Instead of just St. Jude Children's Hospital, I wish the US can be generous enough and pro-life enough to implement universal healthcare.

36:49 ".....cold war....US ,Japan....." She avoided including Korea, when she is pretty clear most will lump Korea into this us jippun camp

Kang Kyung-wha, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea during the administration of former President Moon Jae In

The competition between China and the United States is welcome if the extreme risks can be properly managed. Mencius said that should there not be any enemy states and foreign aggression from outside the country, the country often perishes. If we look back at history, the period of the Cold War coincided with the fastest scientific and technological development of the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the fastest improvement in people's living standards.

没有字幕呀

We must Leaning if, 1400 (LC)how many +🏇kilometer Distand.🤔you must thing before bring out.

I always enjoyed my good friend, George, speeches and his unique insight of the geopolitical world today. By the way, congratulations for the daughter's wedding.

China George for Chief Executive of Singapore Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China!🎉

A truly wise men.

at 47:47 ''how generous Americans are'' True, but Why they cannot help its own homeless ??? Helping one or afew people is easy. The US loves to help afew overseas people so that they can do ''regime change'' in other countries for the US.

China's economic success is at the heart of why the West has always feared and hated "communism"...even w/ a Chinese character. Capitalism (privately owned bus. and industries) cannot compete with industries and resources that are well managed by the central authority of a nation-state who have access to the collective contributions of their population. This is what capitalist have always understood, and now insert terms like "overcapacity" into the lexicon to divert from having to explain capitalisms failure to compete in the free market. It reminds me how they invented the term "whataboutism" to divert from having to justify brazenly hypocritical positions.

😢😢 57:54 57:58

im want group ,or public, must share the true want Dame need.dont keep the frist (1) must done the Tiece, and Quatet.🤵🔑🌊🏇🏇🏇🏇🗝

Minus the alleged Chinese government support (i believe most governments support their industries thru subsidies &/or tax holidays like the recent ?USD52B support to the microchip industry in the US?), how can Chinese merchants sell their products or services at a much cheaper rate compared to others?

Interviewer is very Taiwan supporter in facial expressions unintentionally.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅

:You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit...[will become a pile on the heap of history].* Therefore by their fruits you will know them."--Jesus Chris, the Palestinian Nazarene of Galilee Matthew 7:15-20😢😢 *Parenthetical expression.

The moderator is so biased.

I wish George Yeah is my dad 😂

God is in the picture, he uplifted George Yeo from a frog's well for His service...praise God! There is no coincident with God .😮

47:00 China's non-interference directive of other Nation State

Why is it that even the most educated of overseas born Chinese still can't appreciate the different governance systems they have grown up with?? Don't think any of them would freely give up the freedom they enjoy now. So why would they support it for the Chinese people under the cccp? Is it all about the economic power of cccp which is actually the power of the industrious Chinese people not the government of the elites.

George Yeo is promoting ideas that benefits or at least not harming his own country, namely Singapore. For the USA we don't really care about relationship with China. The rest of the West can also ignore China. But Singapore will be in a bad shape if China economy and trades with the west tank. He is speaking for Singapore. USA and the West rightfully have been ignoring him.

Wisdom is far above rubies! He/She who earnestly seeks Wisdom, obtains favour from The LORD! 🙏😇 The fear of The LORD is the beginning of wisdom! Knowledge dispels fear! 😇 He/She who has an understanding heart, is of a calm spirit! 😍. Be quick to listen, n slow to speak, for a slow answer turns away wrath, n a gentle tongue 👅 breaks a bone 🦴. However, unusually stupid arrogance simply stay stagnant, even be left behind in the 21st Century! 😵‍💫 Self-righteousness is sin!. Whoever harbours sin, shall not prosper! 😭. To many words, sin is not absent, n GOD hates the perverse tongue! 😱🥵 What is desired of man is Kindness! 🙏😍.

Childish? Chinese soldiers wielding axes against unarmed Filipino soldiers? Chinese agent of influence...

George is not correct . America and Europe letting China decimate the American and European industrial capacity is not very wise for the Americans and Europeans overall.America and Europe want to compete but just not now,at least in EV's.This is just natural. If so,let the Americans and Europeans raise tariff then,and if they lose long-term,so be it.

和平！

Mr. Yeo clearly has a sentimental fantasy of ideal China.

Dr. Kyung-wha Kang is really sharp on her feet! She quickly pointed out the curious contradictions of GY's assertion of CCP's collective leadership being a determinant of corruption. GY is a Taoist Roman Catholic. Is that possible? He is a Singaporean agent of influence for China. lol. His characterization of the Philippines' defence of her sovereignty as childish while at the same time asserting China's rightful use of arms against Taiwan & the Philippines is appalling.

They are Chinese ans Asian but speak english. Vietnamese in the US,Australia,Canada teach these people how to speak proper english😊
