Sunday presents a man that everyone listens to …
Mr George Yeo (Visiting Scholar, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and Founding Patron, Asia Competitiveness Institute)
George Yeo is Singapore’s former foreign minister. Unassuming, charmingly direct, an honest man with a clear vision of today’s international relations and geopolitical status. He is a China expert and presents the Chinese view in the context of their long history. For example, he relates why China follows a zero Covid and lockdown policy. He considers that China’s red line has been crossed and expects some kind of action on Taiwan. What a pleasure to find this completely lucid and coherent man.
One has to adjust a little because he has an accent. I had a great big laugh because of this accent. He refers at one stage to Colin Powell, and in his accent, it sounds like Colin Cow.
