In this explosive and uncensored lecture, Lee Kuan Yew delivers a brutal prediction that could rewrite the global balance of power. Speaking at Harvard, the founding father of modern Singapore exposes the weaknesses of Western democracies, reveals why America’s political system is “structurally suicidal,” and explains how China’s rise is unstoppable—unless the West reinvents itself. This is not theory. This is history, strategy, and brutal realism from a man who lived it all. For two full hours, Lee Kuan Yew drops truth bombs about leadership, power, emotional intelligence, and the failure of Western authority in the face of discipline-driven Asian growth. He details how colonial betrayal shaped Singapore’s destiny, how he crushed Communists from within, and how emotional intelligence—not freedom slogans—saves nations. This is the speech the West hopes you never watch. Timestamped for your journey through one of the most powerful interviews in modern political memory. Watch, reflect, and ask yourself: Has America already lost?

The electric vehicle game is heating up fast, and it’s about to flip the entire industry on its head. Tesla's had the spotlight for years—but now, BYD is charging in, not just keeping up, but leaving giants in the dust. They're rolling out sleek, high-performance EVs at prices that are shaking up the market. Big automakers are scrambling, some even panicking. This is a full-blown shift. And what’s coming next? It might just redefine the future of driving.
KUALA LUMPUR, April 24, 2025: Is Malaysia set to be a global economic powerhouse?
Hardcore critics will laugh at the thought but the data seems to point to that - through a booming digital economy and robust foreign investments.
Media reports claim Malaysia’s economy is soaring with a projected GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of about US$50 billion (RM220 billion).
Domestically, Malaysia’s potential growth future can only be destroyed by the racial and religious bigots who seem to be dominating governance.
Eat your hearts out bigots! Malaysia’s growth is powered by communist China!
Watch the above videos and form your opinion whether Malaysia’s 10th Prime Minister (PMX) Anwar Ibrahim is on the right track to steer Malaysia potential growth.
And what did the barbaric and war-loving-mongering US say about communist president Xi Jinping’s visit to Malaysia?
Far-right US commentator Bill O’Reilly derided Chinese Xi Jinping over the latter’s official visit to Malaysia, disparaging the Southeast Asian nation’s economic capacity in a clip circulating online.
Speaking dismissively in the clip, O’Reilly claimed not to know what Xi hoped to gain from visiting Malaysia amid a brewing trade war between US and China.
“The Malays aren’t going to buy your stuff, they don’t have any money!” he said in the clip.
Also, the Americans labeled mainland Chinese as peasants.
But, why is the mentally-challenged president Donald Trump and his administration now begging the “peasants” to make the first call to negotiate on the cutting down on tariffs?
In the first place, China is already well-prepared to fight any type of war with the US because China doses not need to trade with the US.
China only needs to trade with the rest of the world! With a 5,000-year-old civilisation that depended only on itself for socio-economic progress, China is expected to ignore the US, not waste time on retaliatory measures but rebuild a new global trade network.
China will just leave it to the Americans to dig its own “grave” and self-destruct.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 — Far-right US commentator Bill O’Reilly derided Chinese President Xi Jinping over the latter’s official visit to Malaysia that ended today, disparaging the Southeast Asian nation’s economic capacity in a clip circulating online.
Speaking dismissively in the clip, O’Reilly claimed not to know what Xi hoped to gain from visiting Malaysia amid a brewing trade war between US and China.
“The Malays aren’t going to buy your stuff, they don’t have any money!” he said in the clip.
Beijing has actively sought to bolster economic ties with Southeast Asian nations like Malaysia, partly as a strategy to counteract trade pressures exerted by Washington.
US President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on virtually all countries earlier this month, with especially aggressive rates on China that has also retaliated.
The two countries’ reciprocal tariffs have reach levels that are effectively embargoes against each other.
Xi’s visit to Malaysia was historic as it marks his first in over a decade and coincides with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties.
China Suspends Critical Rare Earth Exports To Everyone – Chinese “Peasants” Have Enough Cards To Cripple The U.S.
FINANCE TWITTER
April 15th, 2025
Beijing has called U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff strategy “a joke”, irritating U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Incredibly upset, the clueless and incompetent Bessent has denied it was a joke. At the same time, the arrogant man is desperately pushing for a negotiation, any negotiations, to start between his boss and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Hilariously though, despite two months of begging Beijing to ask Mr Xi to request for a call from Mr Trump, so that the U.S. president can claim victory and not losing face – and perhaps to also insult the Chinese leader for “kissing Trump’s ass” – the White House was greeted with a 125% tariff in retaliation instead. When Xi openly labelled Trump as a bully, it means phone calls between both leaders are impossible.
If Bessent, and his brilliant colleagues namely Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Advisor Peter Navarro, still think the U.S. can use the same outdated playbook from Trump’s first term some eight years ago to intimidate, blackmail and suppress China, they should go back to school and study about the Chinese 5,000-year civilization.
The problem with American politicians is they always think they’re the smartest species on the planet, so much so US Vice-President JD Vance did not think it was inappropriate to insult the 1.4-billion Chinese people as “peasants”. Trump’s team thought they could bully Xi Jinping, the same way Trump-Vance did to Zelensky during the Ukrainian president’s visit to the White House.
Trump is acting like he holds all the cards with China. But unlike Ukraine, which does not have any cards to play in the war with Russia, China arguably has more cards than the U.S. initially thought in the current trade war. Having made dozens of un-countable U-turns, flip-flopping, backpedalling and whatnot, Donald Trump has been blinking so fast that the bulb might be faulty.
To China’s amusement, after it punched back with 125% tariff and announced it would stop playing the silly game, Trump administration blinked again by exempting its own self-imposed 145% tariffs on Apple iPhones, computers, and other electronic devices. Despite bragging about “Art of the Deal” and mind-boggling secret strategies, it didn’t take much to reveal the U.S.’ Achilles heel.
Even after admitting that the U.S. cannot survive without cheap Made-in-China iPhones, Trump’s bumbling commerce secretary Howard Lutnick signalled that the new exemptions granted to electronic sector might not last long – to save face after the president was mocked and laughed at for yet another humiliating U-turn. After having a good laugh, China begins to strike where it hurts the U.S.
Beijing has now played the rare earth card – suspending exports of a wide range of critical minerals and magnets, which threatens to choke off supplies of components essential to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor companies and military contractors around the world. Chinese ports are now prohibited from shipping those commodities, while the Chinese government drafts a new regulatory system.
Yes, it’s not only the U.S. who knows how to prohibit the exports of advanced chips and chipmaking equipment to China. Beijing too knows how to halt the exports of critical minerals vital for making cars, drones, robots and missiles to the U.S. The restrictions on the export of seven heavy rare earth metals include samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium and yttrium.
Taking a page from Biden playbook, Beijing now requires Chinese companies to secure special licenses to export the minerals. This means U.S. defence contractors are at the mercy of Beijing. America is heavily reliant on rare earth imports from China, which accounted for 70% of U.S. rare earth imports between 2020 and 2023, with Malaysia, Japan and Estonia the other three main suppliers of the U.S.
Yttrium, one of the elements covered by the new rules, is almost exclusively sourced in China, with 93% of Yttrium compounds brought into the U.S. between 2020 and 2023 coming from China. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. is 100% import reliant for Yttrium – primarily used in catalysts, ceramics, electronics, lasers, metallurgy and phosphors.
In general, the U.S. was 80% net import reliant in 2024 for the rare metals. Dysprosium and Yttrium are particularly critical to U.S. industry – especially in the tech, electric vehicle, aircraft and defence sectors. This is where China outsmarts the U.S. Instead of only increasing the price through tariffs, which US companies have to pay more, Beijing now bans Washington from purchasing it.
So, even if the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent can print U.S. dollar and have the money to buy expensive rare earth, the “Chinese peasants” aren’t selling them. The Chinese are showing that they can cripple or hurt the Americans because they have the leverage to basically cut off not only the world’s biggest military and economic superpower, but also its Western allies.
This is why Trump wanted a mineral deal with Ukraine, as well as taking over of resource-rich Greenland. But even if the U.S. got its hands on the pure rare earths, experts say it would still need to build facilities to process the elements, which could take years. Even if Trump and his team can dig up the minerals, they still have to ship it to Chinese refineries exclusively for the midstream processing.
Until 2023, China produced 99% of the world’s supply of heavy rare earth metals. It also produces 90% of the world’s nearly 200,000 tons a year of rare earth magnets, which are far more powerful than conventional iron magnets. Unlike some Japanese companies that keep rare earth inventories, American companies keep little or no inventory because they do not want to tie up cash in stockpiles of costly materials.
Rare earth elements are crucial for a range of defence technologies, including F-35 fighter jets, Virginia-and Columbia-class submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, Predator unmanned aerial vehicles, and the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) series of smart bombs. A F-35 fighter jet contains over 900 pounds of rare earth elements, while an Arleigh Burke-class DDG-51 destroyer requires approximately 5,200 pounds.
If the Chinese peasants wanted to, they could force Vice-President JD Vance to beg China before Boeing could import Chinese minerals to build its planes. He had no idea how the Xi leadership has been preparing the 1.4-billion population for “extreme” scenarios, including the severing of total economic relations – in the event of an invasion of Taiwan or a trade war with the U.S. as we can see today.
Additionally, Xi Jinping has also been trying to harden the Chinese economy over the last ten years to reduce its dependencies on western products so that the country is much more self-sufficient in terms of technology, manufactured goods, food, and energy. Video clips of Mao Zedong and nationalistic films were purposely unleashed to send a message – the Chinese are really capable of suffering.
But can the Americans (especially Trump voters) endure the same way the Chinese did during wartime, during the Great Leap Forward, during the Cultural Revolution and during the Japanese Occupation? Chances are they can’t suffer economic pain based on how quickly Trump reversed the 145% tariff on iPhones, iPad, MacBooks, and computers.
What Trump administration can do now is to stockpile deep-sea metals to create large quantities ready and available on U.S. territory to be used in the future, which actually is a breach of international law, which says the seabed and its resources “are the common heritage of mankind”. Still, the U.S. can’t use those “unprocessed” rare earth elements.
Weaponizing rare earth is just one of many cards China can play in the tariff war. Beijing has also ordered its airlines not to take deliveries of Boeing jets, as well as halting purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from American companies. It has already – secretly and carefully – dumping U.S. bonds and devaluing Yuan. However, rare earth remains one of the most powerful cards to play.
1. China is quietly reshaping global trade.
While the US plays tariff games, China is building a new kind of offshore trade model:
What does that mean? Let’s break it down.
2/ Traditional offshore trade looked like this:
That’s “Made in China, sold globally.”
But now, China wants to go one step further.
3/ The new model is different:
Chinese companies set up offshore subsidiaries (in Singapore, UAE, Hong Kong, etc.) to:
✅ Purchase goods from any country
✅ Resell them to any other market
It’s global trade, orchestrated by Chinese firms.
4/ In other words: China isn’t just the world’s factory anymore.
It’s becoming the world’s trading hub — a smart, fast, and connected middleman.
From factory to broker. From made-in-China to managed-by-China.
This is economic diplomacy at its sharpest.
5/ Why now? Because the world is fragmenting.
Instead of retreating, China is adapting:
6/ There’s also a long-term vision.
If China can:
✅ Orchestrate supply chains
✅ Handle global payments
✅ Leverage its shipping & logistics strength
Then it wins pricing power, data advantage, and strategic depth — even without selling a single Chinese-made product.
7/ This is also part of de-dollarization.
Offshore trade hubs help promote:
It’s soft power through smart trade design.
8/ So while some think China is isolated… it’s actually re-wiring global trade routes.
China is future-proofing its role in the world economy by:
This is strategy, not reaction.
9/ Final thought:
The age of “Made in China” is evolving into the age of “Traded by China.”
That may be harder to sanction, harder to stop — and ultimately, harder to compete with.
The world is changing. Watch carefully.
And this is a special reminder to racial and religious bigots in Malaysia:
May the Ship of China-Malaysia Friendship Sail Toward an Even Brighter Future https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025/04/15/may-the-ship-of-china-malaysia-friendship-sail-toward-an-even-brighter-future
President Xi Jinping’s written message shared with Malaysia just before his state visit to Malaysia on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday ( April 15-17 ).
- He wrote that over 1,300 years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, Chinese monk, YiJing ( 636 - 713 ) visited Kedah and produced the earliest known written account of the ancient kingdom of Kedah.
- 600 years ago, Admiral ZhengHe ( 1371 - 1433 ) during the Ming Dynasty called at Malacca and planted seeds of peace and friendship which till this day the Sam Po Kong Temple, Bukit Cina and princes Hang Li Po’s well still exist today.
