Kishore Mahbubani Q&A 01: BRI and Trust issue for the west

[@andrewloh6338]

I am proud to be a citizen of the same country as Professor Mahbubani. A man whose integrity and objectivity is world renowned

[@xrc5540]

Really? Anything else?

[@davidchou1675]

I wish he were the leader of Singapore...I don't know what LKY's son, the current leader, is doing but it seems like Kishore would be a great leader. Wish it were possible to hear his thoughts on the city-state's domestic concerns!

[@SW-fy8pq]

Unfortunately many Singaporean are still very pro American lies and anti China truth.

[@ritaalano7929]

Look into history as Kishore said earlier. When did China ever blackmailed any other country? It was the US, the West, that are doing all the blackmailing.

[@cchannel7857]

China has invaded Vietnam, invaded Korea, fought with Philippines, India and Russia That's just in recent 60 years. Do you need more?

[@DucaTech]

@@cchannel7857 Well, I think there's more context to what you've said. Not so black & white. Yes China did invade Vietnam in '79 but that was only after Vietnam invaded Cambodia. Vietnam & Cambodia have been fighting for a long time. Before Vietnam was even unified as a single country, they were three separate Kingdoms - Tonkin (Chinese Vassal) in the north, Annam the kingdom in the middle, and Champa which later became Cochina when the French began colonization of Vietnam. In the early days of Vietnam War, China helped Vietnam by supplying thousands of engineers to repair the bridges bombed by the US. Without the bridges and logistics, no supplies can get through to the frontline troops, e.g. ammunition, food, water, medicine, clothes, etc. They also supplied most of the AK 56 assault rifles, food, medical supplies, money, training, etc. But the death of Vietnamese in the '79 war which was a few thousands if not a few hundreds, pales compared to the death & destruction brought on by the US. 3 Million Vietnamese lives lost, many of them were civilians from collateral damage. Not only that, the US also dropped Agent Orange, a chemical substance that leaves birth defects for many generations. Vietnamese villagers still suffered to this day from Agent orange dropped on their crop lands decades ago. There was also the 30 year trade embargo and sanctions slapped on the country. Even those who fought in ARVN (the US) suffered, because they got left behind and the sanctions hurt them too. I'm not sure if you're referring to Korean War of the 50's, but MacArthur sent NATO troops all the way to the Yalu River bordering China despite Truman warning MacArthur not to overstep. The North Koreans and Chinese are both Communists and were allies in the cold war and it was North Korea who requested help to fend back the NATO forces. So if you're saying Chinese fought against the Koreans as in South Koreans, then yes. You need to be more specific about Philippines part. I don't remember China invading the PH mainland. They do have a dispute over uninhabited islands in the SCS but no actual mainland invasion; whereas the US colonized PH from 1896 to 1946, that's when PH finally got its independence. Spain literally sold the PH to the US and staged a fake fight to make as if the US were liberators. In the 80's and 90's, thousands of Chinese diaspora in PH got massacred because of racial tension. India and China are neighbours. Of course they're going to fight. But before the 20th century, India and China never fought a war. Only after the British left India in 1947 and artificially drawing arbitrary borders, like the McMahon line which China was not party to. They did not agree to this artificial border drawn between India and China. The recent skirmish a year and half ago would hardly be called a war. The soldiers used fist and clubs instead of firearms. 20 died on the India side, which many of them fell off the cliff and died from great heights and freezing water, and the Chinese suffered 4 casualties and 40 injured. The only time that India fought a war with China was in 1962; during the Sino-Soviet split. As for Russia; I think you should study history more. Russia's land border back then consisted only of Kievan-Rus borders that goes as far Ukraine to the West, and Ural Mountains to the East. It was the Cossack mercenaries who invaded lands of Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Siberia, and northern Manchurian. It was not the Chinese who reach into the Russian borders and territory. Russian empire under the Tsars were expansionists. Look at the map between 1400's and 19th century of Russia; then you'll know what I'm talk about. They even colonized Alaska but eventually sold it to the US when they couldn't hold it. Right now, Russia and China are allies.

[@TheKkpop1]

@C Channel China punished Vietcong for annexing Cambodia and invading Thailand when France and US were spinning decade of endless war in Indochina. You forgot to mention Britain force China to ceded land to India. Is there any problem China taking back much of its land lost to Britain?? For the same reason Russia had taken Chinese land. It is a well know fact Russia still refuses to return land to China. Didn't &S invaded Korea too?? Pinoy and Chinese can work together for a solution in the absence of US involvement.

I had no idea what the German gentleman was asking because less than half way through his question I fell asleep. But I needn't have bothered with his question. Kishore Mahbubani's answer alone is good enough for me.

[@medialcanthus9681]

[@theinfralink6598]

The German gentleman was trying to hide his bias against China and his brainwashed naivety, to put it politely. This is why he sounded hesitant and evasive.

This fella (asking question) is funny - he said that US has not taken any steps to declare "war" on china

[@tweedy4sg]

You can put evidence in front of him staring right at his face, he will still say US containment of China is not happening. In short, he's either in denial bcos it's driven by an agenda or narrative. Or he's just simply so.....

[@t4ac]

Yes, I was so flabbergasted with that gentleman as well. Either he lives in another parallel universe or his mind is just blocked from processing evidences and facts. Sad.

[@yungunit8299]

USA wouldnt because they would lose.

[@fungames24]

In the west, declaring war is a legal act. There is no such legal act. You are funny because you don't understand different cultures use the same words differently. This is why they can bomb you and still they are not at war with you. People like Mao are more intelligent, he understood other people's words. This is why he could fight the americans in korea, vietnam and burma and still not be at war with america. In fact, america saw him as a friend, as evidenced by nixon's visit.

Kishore missing the point. Technology development is @ unprecedented competitive levels from most developed countries. Bullies will continue to bully . Bull fight will persist between China & USA . China's manufacturing of Cheap goods cannot be sustained. China lack resources on so many fronts specifically Energy likewise for Food & Grain. Resources dependent China already in a desperate mode. Chinese purchases for properties abroad are being investigated. These purchases were made without bank loans , only through hard cash. Yuan printed in China circulating with duplicated serial numbers. Central bank in China was part of this Scam. Real estate bubble, bond & loan defaults in China to cripple the China economy Economy principles has never been wrong . Economic bubble in China is Inevitable.

Kishore Mahbubani is right on most everything, but he overstates US racism and US ability to dictate the choice of other countries--just look at Argentina. Outside of the ME and abutting central/south Asia, the US has behaved more civilly than many accuse. The US is wise enough to fear too strong a hand could lead to the country concerned falling into China's orbit altogether. Outside of technology and trade, the third US tool is not strongarming other countries but propaganda against China. Huawei falls within technology, not US strongarming in general, as the impact of 5G is just too great.
