Great guy this LKY. When he was in US he told Obama to engage South and East Asia to mitigate the anticipated China’s influence in the politics and ecomomies of these regions. When he meets China’s Hu he praises China for its economic success and reach and exhort them for playing a significant role in the region !
That’s hypocrisy of the highest order. And the west showered with all kinds of accolades ? Life time achiever, etc. If there was ever a current treacherous leader, he is it !
