“Let China sleep, for when she wakes, she’s going to shake the world,” Napoleon Bonaparte as soon as remarked, and immediately, that prediction has come to move. As China emerges because the world’s second-largest economic system, poised to surpass america by the 2030s, the visionary insights of Lee Kuan Yew, the architect of recent Singapore, resonate greater than ever. Lee foresaw China’s meteoric rise lengthy earlier than it was obvious to the remainder of the world, leveraging his shut relationships with generations of Chinese language leaders to grasp the nation’s trajectory.
Within the late Nineteen Seventies, China started its dramatic shift underneath Deng Xiaoping’s financial reforms, opening as much as international funding and embracing market-driven insurance policies. Lee acknowledged the importance of those modifications early on, predicting that China’s embrace of capitalism, particularly by means of initiatives just like the Particular Financial Zones (SEZs) exemplified by Shenzhen, would catapult it to world prominence. His predictions about China’s aerospace ambitions, which appeared distant on the time, have now come true, as China challenges Western giants like Boeing and Airbus with its developments within the aviation sector.
Lee’s understanding of China went past economics; he grasped the cultural and historic elements that formed China’s political panorama. He dismissed Western expectations that China would undertake Western-style democracy, as an alternative predicting that China would keep a powerful, centralized authorities to make sure stability. His insights into China’s rise and its implications for the worldwide order stay profoundly related because the world navigates the shifts in energy dynamics led to by China’s ascent.
As China continues to reshape the worldwide panorama, Lee’s foresight serves as an important information for understanding the complicated interaction of historical past, tradition, and politics that underpins China’s growth. His legacy presents invaluable classes for navigating the challenges and alternatives offered by a rising China within the twenty first century.

The USA can not afford to take a shit the paper is needed to print dollars
Does this prediction mean that it is ethical to try to destroy China's economy, I think not.
Have no idea when this video was produced but if it was within the last several years the producer has had his head in the sand. The CCP under Xi''s leadership has KICKED capitalism out of China. A communist government cannot assure itself of complete societal control if billionaires and millionaires are allowed to arise in a capitalistic economy. Has anyone noticed how entrepreneurial successes have been relieved of their control of their own companies and instructed to 'shut your mouth'. The CCP really has no control over a society that emerged from a poor uneducated nation to a rich educated nation – still operating on favoritism, extortion and bribes. That explains their renegade inept military, recently purged by Xi.
what's all these BS with the questions mark.. China is making good for the rest of humanity.. its doing just fine.. Lee was a visionary.. what he said has arrive..
The West is not pro commerce. China is. Commerce will win in the long run.
It’s all due to Mao’s cultural revolution.
It’s the upheavals of the cultural revolution that shook the Chinese out of their torpor and awakened a sleeping dragon.
Really! Dictators can not rule the world. What a pity?
Sounds like the road to war to me. China has now been contained and isolated..but not marginalized. Not yet.
China is a sleeping giant when it's await it will built a better world for Humanity
I worked in S'pore for 6-months in 1965 when LKY was PM of S'pore, but it wasn't until I spent a week there in the 90s that I came to realise the genius of his leadership
He is Chinese, has foresight, due to open mind of humble character
Indeed, while myself working in Singapore, the late Lee Kuan Yew, also referred as LKY was indeed a well-known and Internationally renowned figure, for his shaping and leading Singapore to be among the wealthiest nation after just some 50-years of independence in 1965. Sadly for the Singaporeans, LKY passed away on March 23, 2015. Nonetheless, opine, if he is still alive today, LKY would most likely has a different opinions and views of PRChina and HongKong, presently in 2024. LKY would not have predicted that PRChina opening-up economic development could be so rapidly reversed and new CCP Leader, Chairman Xi Jinping would again gather & seize all Power and become sole Chairman of every Major & Critical CCP Committee, which former Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping dismantled ..to avoid the same mistakes of Chairman Mao's personal dictatorial rule over PRChina (1949 to 1976).
China is a civilization and has always behave as one esp. today.
Buy gold, eat silver, sell titanium. If only people listened to my brilliant insights the world would be a paradise.
Chins was always ahead of the world for better part of known history. China gained its original status. Sun Yat Sen through Deng Xiao Ping achieved that. China is great.
You said- economic quagmires is WRONG!! China to this day is practice socialism, communism economic!!! Do your research.
The late LKY, extraordinary statesman. He encapsulates the wisdom, value and virtue of the Chinese people. Afterall, he is Chinese too. He is very gracious with strong conviction. The western democracy is a failure in so many ways with toxic cultures and unhealthy freedom and rights.
Lee said even if China follows the western Democratic system, US will still hit China hard when China challenges its hegemonic. so don't dream
Because of LKY, Singapore is much better and stronger than China will ever be. Life in Singapore is so much better than in China, just ask any local Singaporean. Another contribution by LKY is to make sure local Singaporeans completely turn towards the West and rid themselves of their inferior Chinese culture and heritage. Thanks to LKY, all local Singaporeans speak only English and enjoy full political freedom and human rights. It is very unfortunate China did not follow suit but still cling to inferior and useless Chinese characteristics. Singapore becoming a First World country from a Third World country in half a generation is so much more an achievement for all mankind than China's mere so-called lifting a few millions out of "poverty".
