A hint of China’s real view of LKY?

Confuseous

One of the self-serving narratives of LKY and the PAP administration is that LKY had good, long-standing personal relations with Chinese leaders. They were “old friends”.

Well then, how come it seems that China’s leaders are not giving that much face to LKY (and S’pore) by only standing Vice-President Li Yuanchao?

True, he holds the second highest state post. But in the Chinese hierarchy of power, the CCP is more important than the state or government. It is even above the law. The standing committee of the politburo of the CCP is at the apex, with the secretary-general (and state president) Xi Jinping, right at the top.

Li Keqiang (also the PM) is the next highest ranking official on the standing committee. There are five other members.

The VP that is coming is not even in the standing committee of the politburo (as other VPs have been in the past) though he is somewhere in the 25 politburo (25 members).

If China wanted to give LKY (and S’pore face), it would surely would have sent the PM or any other less senior standing committee member. If Xi had come himself, it would be very serious face for LKY and S’pore, but even the ST in an article had conceded that his presence was unlikely.

As it is we only got the VP.

To be fair, I should point out that in a speech in China, the president praised LKY. A friend heard a broadcast of the speech yesterday.

What do you think. Was LKY that close to the Chinese leaders?

LKY is closer to the west than to the chinks.cmon man every single one of his early policies was more pro west than east.he clearly viewed the Caucasians as superior than chinks.furthermore the west adored him.what does a communist China have anything to do with a chinaman that doesn't even speak mandarin and they didn't understand.anything cheena lky did was merely an afterthought and an attempt to suck up to a rising power.

many Chinese officials and people can't accept LKY's pragmatic foreign policy that was practically siding with the USA and the West on generally most international issues against China. they thought that LKY, an ethnic Chinese should always sides with China. well...LKY was just a horrible banana man whom loved the West and probably despised everything Chinese. bet his foreign policy was largely based on that, what pragmatic and practical nonsense.

We must be Holy enough, to make them the oppositions & like they are requesting the opposition's Town Council to have an Independent Auditor to audit the books, the same must apply for an Independent Auditor to audit the books for the last 50 years. In this way, we will know the truth about Suzhou & others...but these holey people agree?

Its amazing how LKY is so pro western ideology. But the true western ideals like freedom,liberty justice,freedom of speech,freedom of press,socialism,unionization he choose to turn a blind eye against.world most hypocritical dictator.

The entire EU snubbed him.
No one offered to say something nice.
His son being the current pm not withstanding.
To them he's just a gutter rat. Go figure

Maybe because continental Europeans are mostly anti-UK and anti-US, whereas LKY is pro-UK and pro-US...
