Isn’t Asia at peace essentially because the US role in its security has maintained a balance of power such that aggression by other powers (primarily China and North Korea) is still an unattractive and risky proposition for them?
The more he speaks well of china, the more he will be rewarded financially and invited yo make more china friendly speeches and discussions. They get hundreds of thousands per engagementsSince when has 凯硕 (Mǎ Kǎishuò) become a legendary diplomat and scholar as claimed by apparently China based Arnaud?
Kishore has been speaking a lot about China/Chinese but I womder what makes him an expert in this area?
He is neither an ethnic chinese and (from public records), have never served in China, Taiwan or Hong Kong.
As far as I know his philosophy degree is not in chinese philosophy/culture/history or language.
Can he even read and write in Mandarin or speak any Chinese dialects?
So what are his credentials as a China expert?
You mean that moron Huxley is suggesting if US stop thumping it’s chest around Asia we will all be invaded by China? The level of ignorance is beyond belief. China has maintained good relationship with these nations for 500 years since Admiral Zheng sailed south. China is proud to have its emigrants making these nations great. China view their success as a success of the great Chinese race. As for US, please stay away as far as it wishes to - they will not be missed

So anyone who doesn’t sing the western tune are paid by the Chinese Govt? Mabhubhani must be shaking his head beyond belief at the ignorance of these “experts”

Your profound statement is… profound… but says nothing. What has China done to Asian nations in the last 100 years that indicate it is a security threat?These 2 pics best describe Mr. Kishore Mahbubani, whom had been wrong on his analysis, assessment & public pronouncements EVERY time since 2008. Does Singapore lack others with PHD in Philosophy so much that only he is sought after, even paid lectures for his fallacious assertions?
No mortal is perfect. We all make mistakes, but to deny mistakes will only compound such even further, becoming a danger to oneself & others in society. No doubt China of 1.3 billion population with a history of 5000yrs is NO easy task to govern, but it need not be painted with a veneer of blue to sugar coat it, when beneath the thin layer of blue shine lies a clear evidence of authoritarian red that even a roadsweeper is not blind to, as those in China's COVid 19 brutal lockdowns realized now. let alone others whom are not China-born but suffered from its dominative totalitarian ambitions.

U mean dragon diplomacy huh. Sleepy dragon and his pork soup jokes. Egg Hen and his "don't like don't come" remarks certainly isn't pleasing to some ears. Get another Trump term and see your masters of the universe get another pricey lesson in humility yet again.I like Kishore for his pragmatism. There must be a balance of power. That's the reason why Singapore is relatively unscath. Imagine without USA, the China PRC will step all over us with their usual crude and brash act of showing leadership.
Kishore is a pet for LKY and since LKY move on, he has been sideline by the other "Tiger and wolf diplomat" diplomat.
