Singaporean George Yeo cries "冤枉!" and says he's shocked and upset that Taiwan unexpectedly accused him of being China's dog

He thought he has the same charisma as LKY, he needs a vocal cord surgery first and then polish up his diction.

Why meddle with other countries’ foreign policies when you cannot even meddle with your own constituents?

 

[superpower]

See what they have done to Hong Kong and Macau, it's unlikely young Taiwanese will be swayed over by the CCP.

Taiwan has barely 24-25 million people, a rounding error in any China population census.

Taiwan GDP is not even 5% of China's. Chinese Officials fudging their figures will generate more than that in a flick of a pen.

But Taiwan is part of the bulwark holding China back from the Western Pacific. China wants access to challenge America in the Pacific. But for what? National security or Ego?

It's been more than 600 years since the Chinese had a great fleet. Why start again now?

People don't understand. China is not interested in challenging America in the Pacific. They want Taiwan back because it's Chinese territory (on this the CCP and KMT agree) and they want to make up for the humiliations of the 19th and early 20th centuries when China was carved into pieces by the Western powers and Japan (Manchukuo).

From an economic or military perspective, Taiwan is dispensable. It's purely a nationalistic project.

Precisely, I still fondly remember during 1980s and 1990s when there's no Internet.

The news will always report who and who is coming to Singapore and look for LKY.

George Yeo thought that he would be awarded the Nobel peace prize for his brilliant China Commonwealth idea that he thought would make both Taiwan and China happy and avoid a nuclear WW III, but instead, he felt hurt that he was, instead of being gratefully thanked for his brilliant idea, kena accused by Taiwan of being China's dog. Poor George Yeo! He never imagined anyone could ever accuse him of being China's dog, something totally unexpected and unthinkable in George Yeo's mind.

If they have to, they will allow trade to flourish between themselves and USA and to the rest of the World.
If Japan and Korea has been benefiting from the trade relation with China, they wouldn't have to pivot to the USA for protection. Fact is that China has been viewing Japan and Korea as a Part of bigger China. That's why Japan and Korea Pivoted to US for protection against China. The PRC just want to do everything on their own and want to push everyone out from low to very high-end manufacturing. Expanding their military presence and threatening neighbour like japan, phillipines, india and in particular Taiwan make everyone nervous. If China is to annex Taiwan, what will happen to Korea and Japan next ? They will be sitting duck to China's military ambition. Japan and Korea aren't stupid.

The Chinese should allow RMB to be traded freely internationally and make it competitive against USD. Others will feel Chinese RMB is strong and there's a leadership in it. In contrast, Chinese Govt restrict the use of RMB internationally.
Frankly speaking holding on to your past hurts is just fucking retard, once a generation or 2 wealthy Chinese experience wealth and freedom. They will want it to be this way. They have money , they want to enjoy their newly founded wealth and freedom. Furthermore, they will resist going to the old ways of mao Ze dong days. But Xi wanted to move back to the time of Mao. I don't know what is he talking about. He is a fucking retard. Chinese economy is going well until COVID-19 swept. They cripple the businesses, and they suck more money out of already out of job and cash poor people. They should have put more money into the hands of people directly. Once it opens up , they will spend like anything and help the Chinese economy get back on the feet. The COVID-19 also makes MNC break into cold sweat and now a lot of people and MNC move out of china, causing joblessness amongst it people. They tried to get people to buy their ex stock of houses. But the developer itself is on the brink, and CCP refuse to let this Company go off life support. Who will buy a flat and marry,have kids when one have no job ????


China should just go back to their ways of their predecessor. Open up much more , import more competitions and this will create more jobs too. Let in more foreign and protect their IP as well. Reform the housing sector, and I am sure china will go back to where it was, and it will become better.

The Chinese are not interested in annexing Japan or Korea. China's psyche (unlike the European powers or marauding Mongol or Turkish hordes) is never expansionist. They just want to reclaim Taiwan: both PRC and ROC in their constitutions claim to be the sole representative of entire China.

The Chinese will never allow the RMB to be floated - the CCP are control freaks who will never allow their currency to be manipulated by speculators and hedge funds causing booms and busts in their economy - in this they've learned their lessons by observing the Western economies. They are therefore not interested in the RMB replacing the USD as the world's reserve currency. They just do not want to be at the mercy of USD weaponization - like Russia and Iran before them. Hence the dedollarization move. Hence the hoarding of gold (China now has the world's largest gold reserves) and angling for a return to the gold standard.

Xi's 3-year COVID-19 total lockdown was a disaster - it is a symptom of his need for complete control over the unforeseen and his fear of rampant COVID-19 spread destabilising the CCP regime and his tenure. ON hindsight the CCP cadres are seeing the folly of this stop-COVID-at-all-cost and its impact on the economy. XI is reportedly under fire within the party. Expect more purges to come.

China cannot turn back the clock now, not in the face of the ongoing US sanctions and measures to suppress its rise and strangle its economy and hobble its technological progress. The US and its allies are already decoupling from China. Where return to the free trade days of yore? These sanctions will only be deepened, now that Huawei and SMIC have come out with a 7nm chip. Not earth-shaking, but symbolic of the dynamics of great power rivalry and superpower transition.

After china's lockdown, loads of people died as a result. Did that destabilize China also ? The answer is No.

Getting the money pegging with Gold standard is really nonsense. Let the market dictate the demand and supply. Let the market balance out by itself. IF China's economy is really powerful, then it should be replacing USD very soon. People are pragmatic and if you can offer something better then USD or present environment. Country will listen and you be the defacto leader.

Now Xinjinping has to be the leader will all the poor nation who wanted their RMB to be exchange into gold and USD . EVERY one wants the cheap money from China and invest in USD. These people are hollowing out the RMB . This is a complete idiotic move by china. Everyone is raising the Interest rate and China is lowering the interest rate. So the people will actually smuggle the cheaper RMB money and turn it into more valuable USD.

7nm metre chip is made with high costs and very low yield rate compared to TSMC. You can see how many it can be really sold on the market physically. China can kpkb about their technology but when tyre meet the road, it's going to be different. They can preorder a lot but it's only a figure.

If Huawei HP cannot be load with Google OS , it's going to be a waste of time. Everyone can only use Huawei in china. Once out of China, it all done.

Look at apple, once you buy you get to used anywhere in the world.

7nm can be fabricate with Quad Patterning mah.... Q-time must be very well controlled, window very small

Comrade Yeo finally gets a wake up call from his hubris. He lacks self awareness and has an inflated ego and sense of self.

His ego has been overcompensating for having set the historical record as the first PAP minister to lose a GRC.

History will remember.

He is trying very hard to "Channel" Founding Ah Gong energy @ LKY 100th anniversary .... But result is worlds apart

Money more well spend for Tiongkok to colonise Moon and Mars for rare elements and build.low gravity manufacturing facilities for special control crystallization, then kick start space mining at Asteroid belt

Yes I can't understand why China would provoke WW3 because their ego was butt hurt more than a 100 years ago.

Grow up man, china.

Weak yuan that's why people are buying gold.

It's not de-dollarisation. It's a myth it can never happen.

They will gain more respect from the world if they can manage to achieve that. Rather than Sabre rattling and picking on a minnow like Taiwan. Bully kecil.

Taiwan stood with us when no one did. It will be pathetic of us to turn our backs on them now.

If he wanted to channel ah gong, he should have reminded the Taiwanese how we rounded up the commies and locked them all up.
