“Can Asia guide Biden on China?” Keynote Speech by Prof. Kishore Mahbubani At the “INSIGHT FORUM” organised by Our Hong Kong Foundation, eminent global thinker Professor Kishore Mahbubani called on the US to hit the “pause button” on its geopolitical contest against China amidst the raging global pandemic. Prof Mahbubani, who is a Distinguished Fellow at National University of Singapore’s Asia Research Institute, pointed out that the US trade war against China had hurt the American economy without solving the underlying economic concerns it was meant to resolve. Such policies have not raised America’s standing in the world, neither have they weakened China significantly nor led to the progressive isolation of China from most countries. He said that the Biden administration should press the “pause button” on the contest, especially when billions of people around the world are suffering from the massive economic recession caused by Covid-19. The only way to jumpstart the global economy is for the world’s two leading powers to work together. 915 Comments Auggie Giuseppe Add a public comment... Wee Seong Leong Wee Seong Leong 2 days ago “who are these G7 companies? They represent the power of the past.”You colonised people, created wars. Yes no doubt subsequently you brought development to those countries, and brought up the economy. But, 170 years later, we need a peaceful world. You need to change, learn how to contribute to the world, helping countries that are yet developed, and not continuing your bullying mindsets. 26 Srikar Redhouse Srikar Redhouse 1 week ago Showed true color of US.

Lol! 204 Street Man Street Man 1 week ago (edited) the US is only interested in their own interests and hegemony. their views are all short termed. they would sacrifice their alliance anytime for their own interests. they never know how to play fair with the rest of the world. that's what brings about their decline. a bully who always wants to win and gets the most never understands how to step back and will therefore lose spectacularly. 133 mari mari 1 week ago The problem is NOT Biden, but the people around him ,the Congress, the Senate and the weapon industry. 102 Ron Vara Ron Vara 6 days ago the real question is: is Biden even in charge? 69 Michael L Michael L 1 week ago The US can't stop China from becoming the number one economy, can't overthrow CPC, can't go to war with China either (Nuclear war???). The only possible thing the US can try is to restrain and slow down China. But this strategy will backfire on the US because the cost and benefit don't make sense in the long run. Okay, the United States has a hard time dealing with the rise of China, at some point, the US will have to accept the reality that no empire has lasted forever and China be China. 162 John Edon John Edon 1 week ago G7≌Gang7: The US proclaimed "Rules-based Int'l Order", yet, the rest of the world fully understand that it refers alternatively to "Rules-based Int'l G7 Order", specifically, "Rules-based Gang7 Order" in sharp contrast with the Rules-based Int'l Order with the consensus from the 200 countries on the planet. 64 parsvishal parsvishal 1 week ago Hope this is useful for common people of HK.

The US needs a leader who has the courage n conviction to stand up against this toxicity and communicate effectively it to the people. . but alas, that is a wishful wish. 50 Ken Tsui Ken Tsui 1 week ago So Biden can’t figure out a strategy for the US? The problem with the US style of democracy is that it elects the president not by ability, but by a cross between used car salesmanship and Miss Universe. 84 Kelvin Lam Kelvin Lam 1 week ago The goals of the current tactics used by the US are to get the votes, especially from the grip of Trump’s MAGA camp. That is the reason they inherited Trump’s policies even though they know they are hurting the US as well. Party political interests come first before the good of the nation. 29 Tan YH Tan YH 1 week ago The disruption on the rise of China is the main objective of USA. Period.

Like all other people around the world under different government, all people want are national security, political stability, government integrity, economic sustainability, by means of sharing and exchanges, giving and acceptance...not dominance over the other. 76 kfcmalaysia kfcmalaysia 1 week ago US policy makers still have a strong conviction that China can be contained and floored just like The Soviet Union in the Cold War period. 42 Low Kia Soon Low Kia Soon 1 week ago (edited) The Chinese people wont take such disrespectful manner from the west . you can try to talk to them nicely in fact. 67 picandvideo picandvideo 2 weeks ago The number one enemy of any ism is greed.
