I just watched a video where a very respected English blogger made the statement that nobody wants to migrate to china. This is a good example of western ignorance regarding china. I’ve also seen videos by westerners who have migrated to china documenting the fantastic cities and infrastructure that the hard working and well educated chinese have built in just a few decades putting western cities to shame. I agree with Mr. Yeo, that we should be studying and learning more about china rather than constantly viewing it as an enemy.

Mr Yeo has given the audience useful insight very clearly

Mr. Yeo is truly intelligent and knew what he is talking. He has much more knowledge and much better vision than the western politicians.

Arrogance is still an obstacle for many Westerners to overcome.

[Lee.Hsien-Yung]

The West must learn to understand China and cooperate with each other, not always be suspicious of China.

The difference is, Rome has fragmented into many different nation states while China has managed to preserve its core territories, only losing its outer peripheral territories during times of weakness and regaining them back during times of strength.
Another difference is, China never had any overseas colonial possession. Not for lack of ability. Simply because they never had the will.
Country as a nation state concept is a recent Western invention.

Hungary is probably the most realistic country in EU regarding China's importance in the world.

All Asian countries need to come together and rise together as one. Keep helping each other and help those countries that are in need 🙏

Very true take by mr. Yao, but US policy maker think otherwise… too bad.. 😢

Taiwanese independence is the brightest of red lines for China. China will brook no interference in its domestic affairs.

China's reunification with Taiwan is an inevitability.

I don't believe the USA is insane enough to go to war over Taiwan. China's defensive military capability in East Asia is overwhelming. Iron-clad A2/AD strategy. Vast navy. Formidable nuclear capability.

100% agree, visit china and you will be shocked at how advance and modern it is. Mr Yeo is spot on once again.

[NoelleChanHin]

He is so right.
I do know China very well as international translator.
Indeed, this great speech is so true

What the Chinese have achieved with their infrastructure can only be described as the world's eighth wonder. There's no escaping that we are entering the Asian century as the American empire begins its decline.
The Taiwanese company TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, is on a list of businesses that are to be protected at all costs. Western countries are reliant on their microchips. However, when TSMC's fabrication centres are up and running shortly in Arizona, the strategic balance may change regarding Taiwan's situation.
China's SMIC, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Company, has a long way to go to equal or exceed TSMC microchips.
A recent statement by Taiwan's head of state that chip manufacturing factories would not be destroyed if China decided to intervene militarily adds a strange factor to the mix.
Along with the UK and Japan, China is one of the largest holders of US government bonds. If the American people realised they had to pay multimillion dollars to China as interest payments, there would be an uproar.

To understand some aspects of China, I recommend reading the books of the world's greatest Sinophle, Joseph Needham.
Thank you for an excellent presentation.
