(Excerpt from Lee Kuan Yew: The Grand Master’s Insights on China, the United States, and the World)
China knows that it needs access to U.S. markets, U.S. technology, opportunities for Chinese students to study in the U.S. and bring back to China new ideas about new frontiers. It therefore sees no profit in confronting the U.S. in the next 20 to 30 years in a way that could jeopardize these benefits.
