Chan Chun Sing keeps parroting the same advice to China – hello, is China listening?
And who is he to give repeated advice to the Chinese.
Boh Tua, Boh Suay.

The headline in The Business Times summed it up – “Now is the time for China to win friends: Chan Chun Sing.”
Speaking at the FutureChina Global forum held in Singapore yesterday, the Trade and Industry Minister advised China to seize the opportunities during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a historical opportunity for China to win friends and build friendships, especially in times of need, when the world is suffering from the global pandemic,” he said.
“How China reaches out to the rest of the world and sets the standards in its behaviour, would inspire the rest of the world to come towards China.”
He sounded like a grandmaster on China, giving sage advice on how China should behave.
But let’s compare what he said yesterday with what he said last November at a Shanghai forum.
Minister Chan then told the forum: “China will have great responsibilities to set the standards of behaviour for the world . . . China has the opportunity to seize this moment in history to win the world over, through your superior technology, economic management, geopolitical perspective, and so forth.”
