I had a great time and so did most of the other people there. That girls sang the 'baby one more time song' , Chinese people asking for pictures with us. I would not want to base my whole evaluation on a country on a few angry people.

We have had a long dialogue. You know very well that my opinion of China is not based on a few idiots at the protest. It is based on the long standing policies of China.

Lee Kuan Yew the Singapore leader can probably give us the closest character description of the Chinese leasers that we are going to get. He generally leaves a good impression and says that the top leaders are clean and trying to do a good job.



Not the best referee in the world. It's also worth noting that Stalin had his admirers back in the day too. Hitler wasn't short on a few either, Kennedy's old man was a fan.


How many South East Asian economic miracles have you spearheaded today?

I should have been clearer. He was not the most democratic of world leaders by any stretch. He did of course lead Singapore to economic might.
