You beat me to the crunch. I was about to say the same thing. Unbelievable these people. You can't talk to these people. They don't use reason, facts or logic. They just invent their own narratives and act like it's the truth.

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.
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😢
The Geopolitical issues started all because of the Anglo Saxon issues. All Anglo Saxons listen to their King/Queen, if the new UK King hates China, the whole of Anglo Saxon countries like Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand and East India companies will attack China, either with mainstream media/social media or dividing China’s allies to revolt. All these issues have to do with Charles, the deep problem Anglo Saxons aggression.
Indeed, for he is open minded and knowledgeable. His tenure in both the politics and private sector had offered him numerous personal experiences to share with his audience.
I am so glad that his constituent that he contested in 2011 election voted him out. It is not without reasons that Lee Kuan Yew put him there, knowing that the voters would vote for the opposition instead of him, because Lee Kuan Yew wanted him out, because George is incapable. His speech at the Asia Society further confirmed LKY‘s view. He has little to no knowledge of CCP and merely being a lackey of the CCP.
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.

That she talked about Chinese "overproduction" as an assumed fact was quite revealing. I see plenty of Kias and Hyundais around where I live. It must be Korean overproduction.

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!
George’s understanding of world affairs is superb. Together with LKY and Prof Kishore their insights and knowledge on diplomatic affairs have greatly influenced and shaped the geopolitical situation globally particularly helping build bridges between China and the West whose understanding in this area were often superficial.
Superb conversation! Informative, thoughtful, nuanced. My understanding is deepened, my perspective broadened, my curiosity sparked. A privilege. Thank you. Best wishes.
"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.
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.

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 😊
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 absolutely right and the U.S. should recognise China as an ancient, resilient and now once again, a global superpower. However, China should also introspect and ask itself why so many Asian countries turn to the U.S. for security assurances etc. China is THE power in Asia and will lead but should also be the security provider in the Asian Pacific region.
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.
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.
I agreed whole heartedly with this speaker as geopolitics as currently orchestrated will not on its own create the platform for multicultural engagements to secure trust amongst its citizents
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.
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.
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.
Once upon a time, Britain was the World leader in auto exports. The British auto industry faded, but the British economy did not die. They moved on to more lucrative businesses. Therefore the US/EU should not fear; the musical chair will continue, and you will find another chair.
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.
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.
As George has rightly said, China’s competitiveness relies on an internal market. In this case, why should we in Asia be so concerned about Western custom duties and import tariffs? No need to export to the U.S. We in Asia should “buy made in China and Asia”.
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.
George Yeo seems like a lovely guy, a spiritual man, and he tries to take a larger perspective on things, but his views are misguided and rather naive. He even comes across as quite the apologist for the CCP. Just because the Chinese population has been ruled over by dynastic totalitarian dictatorships for its entire history doesn't mean that is therefore the logical and natural cultural fit for China now and going forward. It doesn't excuse away the blatant abuses and unchecked power of dictatorships such as the CCP especially in the form in which it exists today. It's a conveniently reassuring excuse for inaction, be it in international politics or in interpersonal relationships, to say, in a measured and considered voice, that striving for change and wanting to rein in a bully is born of arrogance and a lack of understanding of the other party. More practical and wise to side with the bully. We all live in this same world and it's good to share ideas on forums such as these, on how we can make the situation better, but Mr Yeo hardly seems to offer any insight other than 'we should not interfere', let the Chinese government do its thing. The CCP, with their 'might is right' approach would love for everyone to take Mr Yeo's approach that we should simply get out of the juggernaut's path of destruction regardless of how much they cheat and colour outside the lines.
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.
Today Chinese are the world biggest Christian people group: Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia were said to have the fastest-growing Christian communities and the majority of the new believers are "upwardly mobile, urban, middle-class Chinese". World Christian population: 1 USA 246,790,000 2 Brazil 175,700,000 3 Mexico 107,780,000 4 Russia 105,220,000 5. China 234,000,000 (including home church) (God use thousands of Korean Christians missionaries sharing the Gospel to the mainland Chinese).
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
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.
Could George comment on the recent fiasco on cooking oil in China, where his employer (former?) also owns Yihai Kerry, who has about 50% market share in cooking oil market in China. If he thinks that the CCP is so great in managing its country, perhaps he, as a former minister, would like to suggest to Singapore government to adopt China’s system of managing the country, especially in the food and drug regulation.
interesting note, that George mentioned multiple times that the west don't understand Chinese and Chinese people. This is true, but a more important issue is that the formation of taiwanese is chinese, and the west apparently have no idea of them too. chinses culture is not like russian/ukrainian, if the situation escalated, there will be guaranteed most taiwanese wont fight
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.
: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.
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?
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.
Like or not, there were many silent and important, uncomfortable things spoken out loud which would be beneficial for US foreign policy but doubtful if there are any serious listeners coz of this crazy election every 4 yrs.😢

Myanmar I am sad for you . The nation are clean and the people are respectful. I pray for Myanmar to have peace
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.
I have to buy George 's book.
More Chinese scholars should be invited to explain their case. EV il Anglos are dominating the discourse and are distorting the truth
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 .😮
Once upon a time, Britain was the World leader in auto exports.
The British auto industry faded, but the British economy did not die. They moved on to more lucrative businesses.
Therefore the US/EU should not fear; the musical chair will continue, and you will find another chair.
Here we really have TGIM & THIT- can you beat that!
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.

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.
George Yeo is one smart mamma jamma
As George has rightly said, China’s competitiveness relies on an internal market. In this case, why should we in Asia be so concerned about Western custom duties and import tariffs? No need to export to the U.S. We in Asia should “buy made in China and Asia”.
A truly wise men.
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.
George Yeo seems like a lovely guy, a spiritual man, and he tries to take a larger perspective on things, but his views are misguided and rather naive. He even comes across as quite the apologist for the CCP.
Just because the Chinese population has been ruled over by dynastic totalitarian dictatorships for its entire history doesn't mean that is therefore the logical and natural cultural fit for China now and going forward. It doesn't excuse away the blatant abuses and unchecked power of dictatorships such as the CCP especially in the form in which it exists today.
It's a conveniently reassuring excuse for inaction, be it in international politics or in interpersonal relationships, to say, in a measured and considered voice, that striving for change and wanting to rein in a bully is born of arrogance and a lack of understanding of the other party. More practical and wise to side with the bully.
We all live in this same world and it's good to share ideas on forums such as these, on how we can make the situation better, but Mr Yeo hardly seems to offer any insight other than 'we should not interfere', let the Chinese government do its thing.
The CCP, with their 'might is right' approach would love for everyone to take Mr Yeo's approach that we should simply get out of the juggernaut's path of destruction regardless of how much they cheat and colour outside the lines.
Instead of just St. Jude Children's Hospital, I wish the US can be generous enough and pro-life enough to implement universal healthcare.
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.
Today Chinese are the world biggest Christian people group:
Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Malaysia were said to have the fastest-growing Christian communities and the majority of the new believers are "upwardly mobile, urban, middle-class Chinese".
World Christian population:
1 USA 246,790,000
2 Brazil 175,700,000
3 Mexico 107,780,000
4 Russia 105,220,000
5. China 234,000,000 (including home church) (God use thousands of Korean Christians missionaries sharing the Gospel to the mainland Chinese).
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
36:49 ".....cold war....US ,Japan....." She avoided including Korea, when she is pretty clear most will lump Korea into this us jippun camp
Sooner or later any international relationship should be between the nations’s governments than people opinion.
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.
Could George comment on the recent fiasco on cooking oil in China, where his employer (former?) also owns Yihai Kerry, who has about 50% market share in cooking oil market in China.
If he thinks that the CCP is so great in managing its country, perhaps he, as a former minister, would like to suggest to Singapore government to adopt China’s system of managing the country, especially in the food and drug regulation.
We must Leaning if, 1400 (LC)how many +🏇kilometer Distand.🤔you must thing before bring out.
interesting note, that George mentioned multiple times that the west don't understand Chinese and Chinese people. This is true, but a more important issue is that the formation of taiwanese is chinese, and the west apparently have no idea of them too. chinses culture is not like russian/ukrainian, if the situation escalated, there will be guaranteed most taiwanese wont fight
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.
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.
Why you think the best educated Chinese are all living in the other country ? I think it's unilateral opinion

Time to change
Asia Society security personnel almost choked a man to death because he was trying to voice his opinion about CH & US.
The moderator is so biased.
: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.
What is the book title?
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?
im want group ,or public, must share the true want Dame need.dont keep the frist (1) must done the Tiece, and Quatet.🤵🔑🌊🏇🏇🏇🏇🗝
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.
Like or not, there were many silent and important, uncomfortable things spoken out loud which would be beneficial for US foreign policy but doubtful if there are any serious listeners coz of this crazy election every 4 yrs.😢
The US trying to change China is like a child trying to change an old man.
why George Yeo needed so much money unlike other Singapore former ministers , they don't need to give speeches everywhere
