Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master’s Insights on China, the United States, and the World pdf

李光耀（1923 年 9 月 16 日至 2015 年 3 月 23 日出生）是新加坡政治家，也是人民行动党的第一任总书记和创始成员。新加坡共和国首任总理连续执政三年，以国家的缔造者和不到一代人的时间从第三世界到第一世界的运输者而闻名。 1990年，李宽辞去总理职务和政党总书记职务，但仍保留其名誉主席和重要政治人物。 Lee 避开了民粹主义政治，转而采取长期切实可行的社会和经济措施。他把资格和多民族作为他统治的主要原则。李采用英语作为通用语，以整合新加坡社会的各个领域，并促进与西方的贸易。然而，他下令在学校实行双语，这样学生就不会忘记他们的母语。李的裁决受到批评，特别是在西方，因为据称通过对政治对手提起诽谤诉讼来限制公民自由。就他而言，他说这些纪律措施以及法治对于政治稳定和经济进步至关重要。 2004 年 8 月 12 日，其子李显龙成为新加坡政府第三任总理，并在长达 50 多年的历任部长级职位中任命自己为政府部长古鲁的顾问。 2011年大选后，李光耀在九十一岁去世前宣布离开政府，为新生代年轻人让路。

Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master’s Insights on China, the United States, and the World pdf 李光耀

When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, presidents, prime ministers, diplomats, and CEOs listen. Lee, the founding father of modern Singapore and its prime minister from 1959 to 1990, has honed his wisdom during more than fifty years on the world stage. Almost single-handedly responsible for transforming Singapore into a Western-style economic success, he offers a unique perspective on the geopolitics of East and West. American presidents from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama have welcomed him to the White House; British prime ministers from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair have recognized his wisdom; and business leaders from Rupert Murdoch to Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon Mobil, have praised his accomplishments. This book gathers key insights from interviews, speeches, and Lee's voluminous published writings and presents them in an engaging question and answer format.

Lee offers his assessment of China's future, asserting, among other things, that "China will want to share this century as co-equals with the U.S." He affirms the United States' position as the world's sole superpower but expresses dismay at the vagaries of its political system. He offers strategic advice for dealing with China and goes on to discuss India's future, Islamic terrorism, economic growth, geopolitics and globalization, and democracy. Lee does not pull his punches, offering his unvarnished opinions on multiculturalism, the welfare state, education, and the free market. This little book belongs on the reading list of every world leader -- including the one who takes the oath of office on January 20, 2013.
