 Beijing, New Delhi are 

the new international diplomatic centres. 

Most population countries and new economic power houses.


India is to replace China to be the most populous country in the world.  The world cannot ignore that both China and India have a combined population of more than 2.8 billion.


China’s GDP will soon become the world number one in the world, sooner than expected because of the missteps of the US.  In the near future, we will also see India’s GDP overtaking the US, again faster than expected.


According to the IMF, nearly 50% of the world’s economic growth in 2023 will come from China and India. The Asia-Pacific region will contribute about 70% of the world's growth.      


Economic development is the only answer to raise the living standard and the creation of the middle class and consumers’ demand.  


It is understandable that foreign leaders want to visit Beijing and New Delhi, where you see the money, trade and investment opportunities, perhaps also loans and financing.  


On the contrary,  less foreign leaders wish to visit the US and Europe where slow or negative growth is expected.  They also have no money to offer to the world, except for political or security reasons.


Covid-19, war between Russia and Ukraine, policy shift of strategic resources, like oils, foods, helps to coin the term ‘Rising East, Declining West’. (东升西降)

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition.

The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
