Former Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo has sparked global debate with his fiery defense of China’s economic policies, calling Western accusations of Chinese \"overcapacity\" hypocritical. 🗣️🔥
\"Western countries enjoy everything,\" Yeo declared, arguing that critiques of China’s productivity stem from geopolitical tensions rather than economic reality. His comments come as trade disputes intensify between Beijing and Western powers over green tech and manufacturing.
Yeo, now an influential business leader, emphasized that China’s industrial capabilities are \"not about domination but development\" during a recent international forum. 🌱💡 The remarks align with Beijing’s position that its growth benefits global markets through affordable clean energy solutions.
As countries navigate the green transition, this clash highlights growing East-West economic fault lines. Could Yeo’s intervention reshape the overcapacity narrative? 🤔 Analysts say such high-profile pushback may influence ASEAN nations balancing ties with both China and Western partners.
