Brilliant, and realistic analysis by George Yeo! Unbiased and honest. Not a stooge for anyone. His views are courageous. The hypocrisy and racism are so obvious. The rest of the world (outside US, Anglo-Saxon and Western) want development, pride and dignity. Who are you to tell us what is right (your version of rules based order) when you don't practise what you preach?

"When China invests extensively in green renewable energy, the West continues to criticize China and then turns a blind eye to China's contributions to green energy and development. So they finally concluded that the west didn't care if China practiced green development, fair trade, or globalization; all the west cared about was preventing any other country from surpassing them."

As a visitor for holidays in Singapore from Australia in 2018, I was immensely impressed with your country. Firstly, as a woman travelling with her daughter, I always felt safe and welcome both day and night. Secondly, the facilities and accommodation on Sentosa Island far exceeded my expectations with superlative customer service being practised adding fondly to my memories. Third, as a student of science I had open mouthed wonder at the synthesis of practical yet maintenance of aesthetic beauty that you have accomplished through out all I have seen. Finally, as patron of botany with a deep abiding love of nature…..when I travelled into Cloud Garden I experienced heaven on earth. Singapore you proved to me that the ingenuity of the progress of humankind can be peace, safety, beauty, science, prosperity and a welcome of many cultures woven together to make a nation others may learn much from and more importantly aspire to become like. I would visit again in a heartbeat as I feel I have much more to learn and experience. Susan Bennett- mother and student of living through giving.

In the past when internet access was not available or limited, the news (English speaking world) was thoroughly dominated by the Western main stream media. But now we have more freedom to alternative news from extensive sources (of course many are 'fake news'), so we can see through the hypocrisy and double standards. Furthermore, the illegal tragic war actions by the US and Western allies on the Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya) severely dented their credibility. The exposure by Wikileaks is also another damning evidence. Once you start digging deeper into history, you will realise how you have been duped.

BrigGen George Yeo is one of the most lucid observer of Geo-Politics and lends a neutral intelligent insider's voice to the going ons behind the scene. He should be carried by more US outlets frankly For Singapore, it is currently somewhat in a pickle bc the Air Force top end fighters is over dependent on the United States and the source codes. It doesn't make sense financially but Singapore would do well to diversify its fighter source. BG George Yeo should know this. We are too close to the US and face an issue being caught in between. Singapore needs to chart a (far more) more neutral course. More importantly this will send a CLEAR message to the Americans who would otherwise prefer to see what they want to and continue to believe Singapore is on their side at detriment to the wake up call needed. That's where Singapore can help the most. It does not need to 'be involved' but it needs to send a far less nuance message particularly to the US

His term at Kerry Logistics gave him a good insight on what China can do to link up the Eurasian landmass and I believe Russia would eventually build the direct HSR rail-link between Beijing-Moscow; supposedly for both passenger and freight. This link will definitely change the whole scenario across the Eurasian landmass! Though his hope for India to build the link across the Greater Mekong Region would not happen maybe until after 2040/45. Even with support from Japan the Mekong Commission could not complete the rail-road link from the Myanmar's Da Wei port across Thailand- Cambodia- Vietnam notwithstanding Japan's participation. Looking at the scenario, I think China could help out by linking a rail link from Bangkok to Da Wei for her to South-East region's volumes to Africa, this can easily save her may be 2 weeks of delivery time!

Take for example the annual computer inter-varsity competition where Australia and Japan both refused to participate under the Asian region as they were knocked out within the Asian region and they demanded to compete within their own region. So when CIA accused the Chinese students of stealing their technology! To steal such information, you do need the grey matter!

So, in a way, China actually ceded some control of the territory to be shared with few Asian neighbors and this is a godly act.

Unfortunately, the current PM of Singapore is the son of Lee Kuan Yew; being the son of LKY, he has the priority to the job. Ha ha ha!

Singapore used to turn back Vietnamese boat people back to the sea to die at sea during the 1980s. You may be rich but morally bankrupt.

unfortunately George Yeo who is a very admirable and very experienced diplomat is still caught up 1 year late on current realities- he is looking at world view from a china centric pov just like kishore, in the past 5-6 months a sea of change has happened in global alignment based on interests, China will face big issues for next 15-25 years because of xi jinping’s leadership and decisions both political and economic, the current activation of quad, aukus and IPEF is going to put ASEAN in a bind because it can lose up its relevance very fast if not planned well, china will move forward on its interests with or without ASEAN unlike what george feels about whites vs. non whites or this east west emotional threads these changes happening right now are not just generational shifts but historical - US along with EU, AUS, Japan and INDIA will start active trade participation and shift in supply chains including manufacturing bases, while today china does maximizing on manufacturing jobs this will now shift and the next 10 years it will be a completely different world that we can’t even imagine, new growth and economic areas will emerge that could give China tremendous competition in Asia at that point ASEAN countries will be winners if they choose wisely today and losers if they made weak choices now, so actually the ball is in ASEAN’s court, America is seriously felicitating a global shift from China and it’s not a 10-20 year deal it’s a plan for next 100 years. It would be wise for thinkers, intellectuals, politicians and commentators especially in ASEAN who are so caught up in these feel good intellectual discussions on ‘China superpower’ and ‘China going be Rich’and ‘We gave it to the whitey’ attitude to look at the ground they are walking on, what was clear somewhat few months ago is extremely hazy in 2022 May! new lines are being drawn and these are more deeper based on common values not political ideologies, With some authoritarian politicians being elected around asia soon china will make its moves but America will also make sure those are eventually countered ASEAN has so far stayed in between but eventually considerations will have to be made and hard choices taken, ASEAN can decide on trade with china and living under some kind of a Chinese security compact if that is more desirable for them.

He has been out of the govt for more than a decade. Pretty clear he is out of the loop of a lot that is going on. Fact of the matter is at some point ASEAN has no choice - they have to choose. Its why ASEAN cannot get a Sea of Conduct agreement done. It cannot solved Myanmar crises. Kiasu and opportunism is not an answer forever and it does come back to haunt you.
Seriously Winter Olympics a success for China?? How many of them are imported from overseas - ice skating, skiing, ice hockey team? What a joke.

that is actually the point, it mean China is so successful now that talent wants to join them. this was unthinkable 20 years ago. and if we don't realise this change, we will be caught behind the times. why do alot of asian come to singapore? they want to use singapore as a springboard to go to english speaking countries, because singapore has an english environment. but what is interesting is alot of western billionarire are also coming to singapore with their family, because they too want to use singapore as a springboard to chinese speaking countries, ironically also because singapore having a chinese environment. and this is the reality we are in. why do you think trump granddaughter can speak chinese well? it an intentionally choice to expose their next generation to Chinese culture, because that is going to be were the "benefit" are. the myth that China will never beat US because China cannot attract talent from other country is now a myth. the rich, the talented, the expert, they now all consider China as a viable destination to commit too. the world has changed.

@Elv Ent You almost got it right. It is about the survival of the USD. "When China invests extensively in green renewable energy, the West continues to criticize China and then turns a blind eye to China's contributions to green energy and development. So they finally concluded that the west didn't care if China practiced green development, fair trade, or globalization; all the west cared about was preventing any other country from surpassing them."

It is about organising , hosting and managing the Winter Games. No need to pour out your bias and scorn unnecessarily.
