At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on November 8, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared his insights on China’s ongoing development amidst technological challenges. Addressing an audience of global leaders and business professionals, Lee emphasized China’s resilience in the face of external technological restrictions.
“You can hold them back a few years. You can deny them technology. They will develop their own… And they are determined to show their people and show the world that it can be done,” Lee stated, highlighting China’s determination to innovate independently.
Lee’s remarks come at a time when technological competition between nations is intensifying. His perspective underscores the belief that despite efforts to limit China’s access to advanced technologies, the country possesses the capability and resolve to advance its own technological prowess.
The Singaporean Prime Minister’s comments also reflect broader themes of self-reliance and adaptation in the rapidly evolving global economic landscape. As countries navigate complex geopolitical dynamics, Lee’s observations serve as a reminder of the importance of innovation and strategic planning in national development.
