Anyone or any country who keeps blaming others for their own problems will not progress.

Spot on!!! So we are not simply looking at labelling stereotypes, but the values that gets along with it.

Mr Kishore Mahbubai must be listened to. His experience, and understanding is excellent. It is unwise to ignore his opinion when considering the medium and far future.

If you know well about Chinese 5000-year history，you will know China has democracy. Chinese select their government every several decades or centuries，including Qin,Han, Jin, Sui,Tang,Song, Ming…

The problem with authoritarian government is systemic -- one bad emperor and you are screwed, which is bound to happen statistically if you carry the long now view. The problem with demographic government is cyclical -- you get a bad one here and there, but no one stays in power for life, given the built-in term limit and check and balance.

China's rapid military and economic growth is to coordinate with the forthcoming Christ. The Lord God has chosen him among Chinese, a nation more in number than any people. Before his appearance, the earth would have a tremendous catastrophe in order to first remove those evil countries which oppose the growth of China so that China can smoothly assist the saint in the conduct of the world salvation. From the Bible (KJV): Deuteronomy 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

This guy is stuck in his glorious days of the 70s n 80s…lets extend it to the 90s He is as relevant as chalk on a blackboard going into the 21st century. He made his mark on the backing of LKY n his Political Party. Singapore is a Democratic Society which he benefited from n here he is selling China Dictatorship hard. Isn’t that a great slap 👋 to the Ruling Party of Singapore who is much so an Authoritarian system. This guy was at the right place at the right time. He played his cards right of not he will just be a shopkeeper in Bras Basah Road in Singapore. He just forgot one thing ~ 70% of China people still living in poverty. This is the current statement of the regime 2nd in command. MadXi will never admit to such things. Plus most China Nationals wants that Western Lifestyle that he is making light of. So this Armchair…I read only the books I write individual is NOT the NOW. We should just leave him in the 70s. Old people love to reminisce about the Past. The Young…looking at the Future working on the Now! This guy need to just zip it 🤐 up already! #Irrelevant
