  • It is only by recycling old text books about Asia that the Western media keeps its people ignorant about what is really happening in China and India. Listen to CNN and MSNBC and CBC and NBC and ABC and the local westerners believe they are masters of the world. The fact is economically, militarily and culturally the axis has shifted to the East.

  • The irony of the British crying about democracy when they never gave it in Hong Kong for one hundred and fifty years of their occupation.

  • i can't believe stephen couldn't see kishore's point that THE WEST IS IN NO POSITION TO IMPLY THEIR MODEL OF GOVERNANCE IS BEST.

  • "what we call a human rights agenda" - I'm a little confused... who's "we"? Is he speaking on behalf of "the Western world"? Is he implying Singapore and China aren't committed to the "rights" of their people?

    I feel there's a contradiction between individual rights, and the people's rights which is foremost in an Asian context and which a "Western" world doesn't necessarily delineate between...

    I might go so far as to dispute the assertion that China doesn't have a democratic process...[cont]
