Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore: It is China's subversive mistake to raise the tail prematurely to confront the United States

The Singapore Lianhe Morning Post today wrote: "Mr. Lee Kuan Yew (the former Prime Minister of Singapore) predicted in 2006 that China would need at least 30 to 50 years to hide its capabilities and work hard to truly revive.

When China put forward the slogan of "peaceful rise", he suggested changing it to "peaceful development" to avoid stimulating other countries. He was quite reassured about China's perception and attitude at that time, but warned that he would raise his tail too early to confront the United States. He believed that that was the beginning of China's bad luck and a subversive mistake. "
Lee Kuan Yew is a statesman with outstanding wisdom and foresight. Some critics believe that Lee Kuan Yew's greatest characteristic is pragmatism, seeking both sides in the competition among major countries, seizing the most favorable opportunity to create a golden age for Singapore's development, making it the only developed country in Southeast Asia.
During his lifetime, Lee Kuan Yew made many accurate judgments and predictions about China, the United States and the world pattern. As for the United States, he once analyzed and believed that, although the United States has shaken its position as the world's hegemon, it has dominated the earth for more than 70 years after all, and has unmatched advantages in military, science and technology, culture and other fields. Other countries are bound to be unable to replace it in a short time. In the future, the United States will still maintain its international leading position for a long time.

For China, Lee Kuan Yew once said that strong economic development is necessary, but not enough to make China a world power. What China needs is intelligent development that enables the country to create and master cutting-edge technology in all fields. Moreover, China clearly knows that the United States regards it as the only challenger. China needs a peaceful and stable domestic and international situation to become a modern country in 50 years or more.
Nearly 20 years have passed, great changes have taken place between China and the United States and the world pattern. Some of Lee Kuan Yew's predictions and judgments have been fulfilled, and some new variables have emerged. But it can be predicted that the United States will remain strong for a long time in the future. What we need to do is to remain humble, face up to the gap, work hard, and make faster progress than our rivals, We believe that one day we can achieve comprehensive transcendence* Statement: The opinion of the article does not represent the position of this official account
