Most policymakers and experts answer this question vaguely, using vague and abstract terms.\u003cbr\u003e But Lee Kuan Yew, stripping away all formality and caution, answers:\u003cbr\u003e “Of course.\u003cbr\u003e The awareness of destiny that has reawakened the Chinese people is overwhelming in its power.\u003cbr\u003e China's intention is to become the world's most powerful nation, and to be accepted not as an honorary member of the West, but as China itself.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The authors then question the future of the United States and the US-China relationship that will shape international politics in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e Lee Kuan Yew foresees a confrontation between these two superpowers.\u003cbr\u003e “There will be a fight over securing influence. \u003cbr\u003eCompetition between the two countries is inevitable.” However, unlike pessimistic realists, Lee Kuan Yew believes that confrontation is not inevitable as long as the leaders of both countries make rational decisions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The following chapters primarily cover topics such as India, Islamic extremism, regional politics and globalization, and democracy.\u003cbr\u003e Each chapter begins by posing a key question and then concisely summarizing Lee Kuan Yew's response.\u003cbr\u003e Many of these answers are sharp, because Lee Kuan Yew is not naturally interested in “politically correct expression” and is never daunted by controversy.\u003cbr\u003e As authors and planners of this book, we have resisted the temptation to offer our own views or comment on them by reminding ourselves that it is Lee Kuan Yew's views, not ours, that the presidents and their closest advisers should be listening to and learning from.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe have summarized Lee Kuan Yew's key insights and core arguments for easy reference.\u003cbr\u003e That doesn't mean that this book is easy to read and skip over.\u003cbr\u003e We are confident that every single word on every page of this book is worth reading.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, such judgment is up to the reader.\u003cbr\u003e Still, we suspect that even readers who attempt to skim through this book will find themselves spending more time and pondering his surprising and shocking, yet equally enlightening, arguments than they initially anticipated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preparing this book has been far more rewarding than I anticipated, having the opportunity to listen to Lee Kuan Yew and peruse his extensive writings, interviews, and speeches. \u003cbr\u003eIf readers can enjoy even a small part of that rich feast through this book, the authors' wish will be fulfilled.\u003cbr\u003e --- From the \"Preface\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e China's intention is to become the world's most powerful country.\u003cbr\u003e All governments, especially those in neighboring countries, already have this in mind in their policies toward China.\u003cbr\u003e These governments are recalibrating their positions because they know that if they interfere with China on issues that affect its core interests, they will face consequences.\u003cbr\u003e China could simply impose economic sanctions by denying access to its market of 1.3 billion people, whose incomes and purchasing power are constantly growing.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.38~39\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Not at all.\u003cbr\u003e Although the United States is going through a bumpy road due to debt and deficit, I am confident that it will not be relegated to a second-rate country.\u003cbr\u003e At every critical juncture in history, the United States has demonstrated remarkable resilience and a remarkable capacity for recovery. \u003cbr\u003eAmerica's strengths include its unconventional, free-thinking and pragmatism, its diverse and exceptional focal points for new ideas and technologies, its social climate conducive to attracting talent from abroad, and its openness rivaling that of American society, which has established English as the common language among leaders in science, technology, invention, business, education, and diplomacy, as well as among world leaders in various fields.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.61~62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A president who prescribes bitter medicine to the people will have a hard time being re-elected.\u003cbr\u003e For this reason, unpopular policies tend to be delayed or put on hold in order to win elections.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, fiscal deficit, debt, and high\u003cbr\u003e Problems like unemployment continued to be passed on to successive administrations.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Islamists believe that the time is ripe to revive the glory of Islam.\u003cbr\u003e Among them, jihadists chose Iraq as their second battlefield. \u003cbr\u003eThe goal is to drive the United States out of Iraq, just as the Soviets were driven out of Afghanistan.\u003cbr\u003e Radical Islamic groups in some countries are plotting a clash of civilizations, and they are using the power of oil to provide the means.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is not philosophy or theory that guides my life.\u003cbr\u003e My job is to find practical solutions, and it is up to others to extract some principles from the successful solutions I find.\u003cbr\u003e I don't know how to do anything based on theory.\u003cbr\u003e My approach is to think about how to solve a problem, examine various alternatives, and then, after finding a solution, try to figure out the underlying principles behind that solution.\u003cbr\u003e So Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates are of no help to me.\u003cbr\u003e What I'm interested in is solutions that actually work. \u003cbr\u003eWhen I encounter a major challenge with a tangled web of conflicting positions, I consider what alternatives might be available if the proposed solution doesn't work.\u003cbr\u003e That way, you'll have chosen a solution with a high probability of success, and if it doesn't work out, you'll have other alternatives.\u003cbr\u003e There is no such thing as being cornered.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---
