Thanks Prof Mahbubani for exposing the hypocrisy & disingenuousness of some in the West.

Singaporean here. Loving his replies. It's like in Singapore. Love him or hate him, Singaporeans voted for late Lee Kuan Yew again and again for 40 years as PM. Are there complaints about him? For sure. Name one politician who managed to come up with public policies that satisfy everyone. Similarly for China, Xi Jinping and CPC has done tremendously in the past 30 years to improve the lives of Chinese citizens.

He is so spot on today’s American political environment and how everyone has to watch what comes out of their mouth before we get labeled as pro - or anti- some group

Kishore is right again about China's attitude towards Taiwan. Xi Jinping repeatedly pointed out that he would not allow Chinese to fight Chinese in his watch. So there will not be forceful take over. Given time and opportunity, Taiwan will repatriate like Hong Kong and Macao, peacefully, without bloodshed.

To understand China well, British intellect, Cambridge Prof. Martin Jacques who spent 8 years in China as adviser n consultant to China govt. is most qualified western intellect to give a very fair view on China !

One of the way to look at Chinese is at the single unit that forms it, the family. Chinese migrated to Nanyang - the current ASEAN countries with the single goal of not just bettering their lives but of the generations to come. The first generation will do the difficult work of labour, the next generation must do better by becoming a skilled blue collar labour and the next generation should go on to be a university graduate. That is the mentality of the Chinese. It took my family 3 generations to put me into university and is a common scene for a lot of my contemporaries. We plan for the long game and we are patient.

Bravo Mr. Mahbubani!!!

I am a Singapore Citezen and was raised and born in Malaysia. I visited China Bejing, Chong Qing, Cheng Du, Shanghai, Nanjing, and HongKong. China is so advanced and safe. The country is prospering, and people are civilized and kind. I used to think they were backward. You have to visit them and interact with the locals. My team from Xin Jiang asked to see her, and she told me XJ has become a tourist attraction, and the people are hap, py and everyone has a job there. So please do not believe all the Western Media saying that Chinese people destroyed XJ and the Muslims there. This is absolutely NOT True :) Go visit China, and you know what I mean.

A pleasure to listen Mr. Mabubani. Simply as that. Thank you

Great job Prof

The "black/white" theory is simply spot on.

Professor Mahbubani must be disappointed that he had to give lecture instead of having a genuine discussion.

Tks

To be more specific about what the Chinese government think about war on Taiwan: Even we win, we loss! Because it's Chinese fighting Chinese! Leave China and Taiwan alone, and we'll and we can solve whatever the difference we have peacefully! Because, to the Chinese culture, the people, at least the majority of the people come first, before anything! Always!

"... The best way to win a war... is without fighting." the Military Industrial Complex isn't going like that very much. What's the point of having a war, if you can't sell arms? Sigh!

And supposedly, the Professor will equally deny what's happening on ground in India by supporting the evil modi plus the BJP / RSS fanatics and fascists ideology that these groups perpetrate by continuing with their atrocities and persecution of the Muslim minority in India. Indeed this is very sad.
