40年前,日本说‘不’, 功败垂成。

40年后,中国说‘不’, 拒绝见面。


30年风水轮流转;30年河东,30年河西。1989年,索尼盛田昭夫和政治人物石原慎太郎的‘日本可以说不’,信心满满,跟美国说‘不’,寻求平等地位。

随着失落的10年,20年,30年,日本已经越来越不能说不了。美国和日本的距离越拉越大,已经到了无可挽回的地步。日本再也不能梦想平起平坐First Among Equals.  

日本80年代的政治和商界领袖,看到今天的日本,连个No都不敢说,只能唏嘘,悲痛,往事只能回味!

反而是,曾经的东亚病夫,在世人面前,说出不,向美国说不。这个不,还是多方面的,从外交,经济到军事。

中美防长不见面,只是中美经济、贸易、外交、政治、理念、价值观等等多方面的交锋,这场戏不知道还要演多久,同时,还要看耐力,考整体实力

日本当年的不,只能建立在半导体,汽车,子弹火车,认真的工作精神和科研上,而美国却是一个全面经济,尤其是在金融、美元、高科技、投资上具有绝对优势。所以,日本的不,只能昙花一现

今天,我们看到金砖国家的崛起,去美元,去风险,脱钩,地缘政治。这是一个不同的时代,美国应该勇敢面对和接受一个不字。独霸时代一去不返,多边政治将会创造不同的不,不同的政治、经济、贸易安排。

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. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. 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 ...

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 i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
