One cannot help but note the relative absence of the intellectual depth and strategic breadth in Western leadership that former Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani brings so compellingly to contemporary global affairs......

"and Cuba has a sovereign right to choose a Chinese base" She didn't see that coming, did she? The hypocrisy is breathtaking

"well Cuba has a right to a Chinese base"

This wisdom exists in the West abundantly but is suppressed and hidden from the public discourse. The mainstream media in the West is almost totally controlled by a minority who profit from constant warmongering.

Western media is very propagandistic. People know better but follow the uni-party line for their own advancement even if it leads to EU capitals being nuclear bombed.

One cannot help but note the relative absence of intellectual depth among TV hosts. @MishalHusain seems to believe the Ukraine conflict began with the Russian invasion. Mahbubani is very diplomatic in excluding scorn from his response. @bpolitics

Unfortunately, money has creeped into Western indepedent thinkers. Whereas the previous Western thinkers dazzled with their academic rigour, nowadays, these folks can't analyze the situation through a geopolitical, non-idealogical lens

He does not understand Russia one bit. It is not a great power for quite some time already. It was dismantled by the oligarchy but they still want to act like a great power and most of all, they need to look like a great power for both external and internal reasons.

Baltic countries have a “sovereign right” to choose alliances with their neighbour’s enemies? these people just trot out nonsense, making up international rights and laws irrespective of reality. The ideology of globalism and internationalism meets truth and denies it.

Could economic concerns keep China from invading Taiwan? In the second part of our conversation, I discussed whether access to Western markets could be a guardrail on Chinese aggression against the island with President Emeritus of Council on Foreign Relations Richard N.

Former Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani: It's not wise policy for the United States to stop the rise of China because China can no longer be stopped. The only way to stop China is to ask the Chinese government to stop improving the livelihood of its own people.

Great explainer on the South China sea by legendary Singaporean diplomat and scholar Kishore Mahbubani One fact is particularly interesting, which I think no-one in the West is aware of and which Mahbubani got directly from the mouth of J. Stapleton Roy, former U.S. ambassador to China. There's this mistaken belief that Xi Jinping agreed with Obama to demilitarize the South China Sea and later reneged on that promise. Roy, who was in the meeting, explained to Mahbubani that in fact pretty much the exact opposite happened. When Obama raised the issue of the South China Sea, Xi proposed as a solution that they both agree to demilitarize the South China Sea, where neither China nor the U.S. would have military facilities in the area. Obama's response? They rebuffed China's offer and stepped up U.S. military patrols in the area.

Former Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani: China has rescued 800 million people out of poverty — two and a half to three times the population of the United States. That's an amazing achievement. When people say the Chinese people are not free, I ask a very simple question: If the Chinese people are not free, why do over 130 million Chinese people leave China each year and then, using their own two feet, return to China every year?
