Bitter TRUTH about Asia as told by an American 

I think it depends. Depending on what they have here in SG.

Agreed hate foreigners because of this

⁠@@Jack-hy2kiyes and no to some foreigners , not discriminating no one immigrants from China most will not stay behind and defend this nation as they are here for the peacefulness, high quality life style , great career opportunities and tip top education , high living standards and wages . If something goes wrong or we are in crisis, they will not hesitate to leave without a trace. It’s base on many of these people I knew in private or work life , all the above are the only things they came here and interested in and not a word of how they want to defend this country, some been here for ages and their child reached the Age of Enlightenment, instead of getting ready for the day to come they are finding ways to flee or prevention. My immediate boss is a Danish and wife she’s a Brit , their 2 sons recently received letters of enlistment for the upcoming December and their entire family are overjoyed and asking around the local staff what and how to prepared, their sons too are looking forward for the dah to come and been watching all YT and IG related to enlistment It warmed my heart but the Chinese immigrants looks disbelief and unbelievable.

Having children do NS is an essential part of integration process

No. In difficult time, they will move to another country.

should i dump my girl then? it doesn't also help that i;m ann economics major ahahhaa

We were thinking about. It’s hard to visually present Asia in the thumbnail

@@MaxChernov that just proves that guy's point, doesn't it? there is variety in asia as well as some similarities. you have different economies, climates, mannerisms, stereotypes, things they're famous for, etc...

Of course Asia not just China, but your culture and economy have to be significant enough to catch people's attention so people will talk about it.

People certainly won't think of Bangladesh or Papua New Guinea when they talk about Asia, so no point of you fretting. China is indeed the center of Asia, just accept it, boy

I completely agree with you. There are far too many RU-vid videos with titles like "Asia," even though their content is about China, Japan, or South Korea. Asia is incredibly vast and diverse. That China is the focal point of attention in Asia is indeed true. If that's the case, just give it the title "China."

What are you thankful for? fake freedom?

Thank goodness!

They are already ahead of France ND england...in this decade they are on the path to pass Japan ND Germanys eco...so ur wrong about something

India has already Surpassed France and recently Surpassed UK last year. Now the only countries above India are Germany, Japan, China and the US. If you are talking about GDP per capita, then even China have a long way to go considering it has only a GDP per capita of $12,000 US dollars which is much lower for a country with $17 trillion dollars.

Well, you're not spiderman, stop dreaming

@@wewave23 I missed the part where that's my problem

Ditto onion rings, my friend😅

No, you won't feel hungry again till your next meal. Laksa won't kill you, big Mac junk food will.

@@wewave23 Yes. Junk food has already killed millions. Laksa cannot claim the same results😅

@@minglim5485 you kidding me? You mean the Laksa full of coconut milk?? Haha. You’re dreaming if you think it’s better than a Big Mac. $5 laksa is just fat and carbs.

Diabetes is hitting Singapore just as much as it is the fat west

I think if you travel more, and work in a foreign country, it opens your mind and eyes. Just because a lot of people are doing it doesn't mean it's the right thing. Like the guest say, Expose yourself to the world

I see that all the time when I travel in Asia. It's always white expats that denigrate their own countries to try to win favour with local people.

US is not full of East Asians. They don't make up 5% of the population. Hispanics are running there. So are the South Asians and South East Asians.

we learn from the best, until we become the best ourselves

China is going to replace US may be.

LOL!!! Says the brain washed white guy who's proving exactly this man's point! It all must be making interesting conversations at the dinner table during Thanksgiving, no doubt. 🤣🤣🤣

He’s talking about working talent. Asia has a ton of working talent with high work ethic. A lot of people study in brand name universities in the west - if you’re smart and rich enough, you will know that you study less for more over there. A branded degree, less effort for a first class honours or summa cum laude, better starting opportunities - who wouldn’t do that if they could? That’s what many of my friends are doing. They leave Singapore, study in an Ivy League or good uk universities, work a few years in a good international role for a while, complain a bit about high taxes and their eventual plan is to return to Asia. Asia IS overflowing with talent. So much so that the less affluent countries are suffering from immense brain drain.

That doesn't mean free work permit to all foreigner... So by your logic Europe doesn't give visas because it's not confident about its people's talent?

Most Americans don't get more than a week of vacation time each year. So flying to the other side of the world for a vacation is about as realistic as flying to the moon

So where do most Americans go? Do you go to Europe, or don't you go abroad?

@@Itsvivx99 😂😂😂😂😂

@@Itsvivx99 California or Mexico. When you only have 4 or 5 days off, spending 24 hours to fly to the other side of the world is impossible.

@@Itsvivx99 Some do visit Singapore and Asia, and travel abroad to Europe and other countries. Most travel and explore around the USA, Canada and the Caribbean islands… Basically the vast majority of Americans can’t afford international travel, believe it or not!

I'm a big fan of Singapore and grateful every day for my time here, but a lot of hawker centre food is not the best. Most hawker centre food is as cheap as it can be, and to make stuff that cheap the stallholders have to make compromises to keep costs low and to attract customers with low-quality content - cheap ingredients, particularly chicken, too much salt, too much oil. In my experience it's also difficult to eat healthily in a hawker centre, particularly from the perspective of a balanced diet including vegetables. Vegetables are either overfried or overstewed, I guess the latter because the food has to be made in advance to be doled out quick. The real Chinese food paradise of east Asia is Taiwan, in my opinion.

@@kingbolo4579 You are quite right about some hawker food being dished out to serve at a profit. Just be discerning to choose the ones that offer the best, & never go back to the ones that disappoint your taste buds. Or go across the Causeway to Malaysia, a food paradise of diverse cultural cuisine. You will be surprised to come across some heavenly food in out of town/city at affordable price.

@@davidchang7500 Well, you have a point. I concede there are good ones, and you can tell them by the long queues that form outside their stalls. I think they are the exception rather than the rule, though.

@@kingbolo4579 Remember that the long queue ones will most definitely charge more. Explore the lesser known ones & who knows you may get to taste the heavenly ones!

@@kingbolo4579 "The real Chinese food paradise of east Asia is Taiwan, in my opinion." 100% agree!

So he's absolutely right. You cannot buy onion rings at Mc Donald's for $6.20. You can't even buy them for $100, unless one of the employees runs over to BK and gets it for you. I'd do that for $100.

Hi Jessica! I'm French and more than 20 years ago I went to Singapore as an exchange student. Food was really good, and most important, very diverse, I really enjoyed it! Serving portions were of a normal size, according to my stomach. My hall of residence had no aircon, and I was OK with it, contrary to some local (non students) people I met who were complaining about the heat and non aircon places at any occasion. The only thing I didn't like in Singapore was the few people who had prejudice...

That’s her personal opinion but in general and speaking of prejudice, it’s not only happening in Singapore and only Singapore, it’s around the world everywhere just like racism. Just like an incident happened this year 4th April when I was in Nice south part of France , I was been shout out by some French asking me to go back to “China” and made an eye gesturing small eye movements when I was having my coffee at a local cafe … still I believe most French people are nice and “friendly” in a way and the city “except” Paris are nice and beautiful.

The prejudice is both ways due to historical oppression and exploitation. French should know that well

блин привычка(

no, we are only told that we are responsible for everything that is wrong in developing countries, regardless of whether we are from a country that has done so or not and regardless of whether our country has given massive help or not. And regardless of whether we as individuals were born then or even if we were born that we would have the power to fix the world which we do not have

@@wolfstrand1959 You're comparing Singapore and America. Singaporeans practise personal responsibility and do not generally blame others for their failures. Today's youth also do not have any issue with the British or Japanese. Singapore is also not a developing country.

Truth

And yet here you are, on RU-vid.😅

@@HyperspaceHoliday And yet again we go back to how they love a free market, as long as they have a monopoly on it ;-)

​@@HrRezpatexNot sure who you are referring to when you say "they"? America really doesn't have free markets. It hasn't for many decades. The only people who say they do are the government and no one with any brains beleives what they say

While according to your words , the American goes to war , you have missed out on the Russians created a war and the Chinese asking and begging for a war.

@@CrossbredmiMiyang lol, i shall try to explain something to you, but i kind of already know that you will not understand it or understand any of the historic references i give, but i will do it anyway. .Lets start with the Monroe Doctrine, a principle of US policy, originated by President James Monroe, that any intervention by external powers in the politics of the Americas is a potentially hostile act against the US. In general it say that nobody beside USA should be able to interfere in the western hemisphere. .Then lets jump to The Cuba Crisis. (you can look it up and read about it) USA then threaten the whole world with a nuclear war because of that. (this is in a direct relation to the Monroe Doctrine) Since that USA have created their own version of The Cuba Crisis around Russia again and again and again, and it is a completely mystery for the Americans why Russia react to that at all. (Because most of them are just as brainwashed as you are, and have no knowledge about history what so ever.) And here is a little list of some of the Cuba Crisis versions they created for the Russians. (by that i mean they created a situation that US would go to a nuclear war for if someone did the same to them, i try to explain it so that even you shall understand..) . The Cuba Crisis 02: Norway become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 03: Poland become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 04: Estonia become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 05: Latvia become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 06: Lithuania become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 07: Sweden become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 08: Finland become a member of NATO . The Cuba Crisis 09: Ukraine become an American puppet with a American coup. and so on.. For some strange reason you will never understand, Russia finally reacted. And they have my 100% support in doing so. How China is begging for a war i have no idea about, but i guess what you mean is that they are developing in to a successful country, and in the eyes of an American, i guess that is the same as begging for a war. I doubt very much that you know about any of this history or will understand it, but i tell you anyway, simply because that is facts. And to be honest, i would almost love to see US in a war against Russia, China, iran and all the other countries that would support them, because i would not mind seeing US being crushed completely. You probably don`t know that they are already in a war against Russia in Ukraine, and even with all the support US have from EU and NATO countries in Ukraine, Russia alone is still crushing them there.. lol In case you do not know it already, China is a even bigger military force then Russia is.. I hope you get what you are begging for, even if it is clear that US is more then capable of destroying it self.. lol

It’s just his opinion, chill.

Indo and India are both big countries with big labor force. The govt have to navigate wisely especially on wealth disparities. *cough corruption cough

That’s what they say…Been waiting for them to be the next South Asian Tiger. Been waiting almost 40yrs plus.🤷‍♂️

Agreed basing on my own experience

ssttttt sudah biarin aja akan sangat melelahkan jika kita jadi target usa berikutnya usa punya banyak lembaga semacam ned yang bersedia keluar duit agar kawasan asean tetap "ribut"

I think he meant in the manufacturing sector.

Nah

Americans are promoting India very aggressively.

Yes if India can get their shit together. 😅 However, China may have moved to something else.

😂 LOL 🤣 Stopped watching at that ... He doesn't know anything here if he don't know China, the elephant in the room. India is too fragmented, lacking essential base infrastructures, rocked with internal race/religious conflicts, corruption, etc to replace China in anything😅 India is big on all the wrong stuff to replace China. The fact that India having the largest slum in the world compared to China elevating 800 millions out of poverty at the same time is too significant to ignore. Not forgetting that India is also the hotel California of foreign investors money, talks big dream big without follow up actions, etc ... Correct advices is important.😅✌️

The Chinese Communist Party shot itself in the foot with its one-child policy. China is aging rapidly, and at the moment the benefits from its astonishing economic progress are not well-enough distributed to encourage young couples to raise sufficient childrent to reverse the trend. This will increasingly cause instability in an economy as little able to respond to market drivers in China, productivity and growth will evaporate as the population increasingly needs to be looked after in old age. India also has significant barriers to progress but it's not an unreasonable prediction that with an expanding young population it will be able to realise more of its potential in the future than China.

India overtaking China ??? Not in my lifetime & the next. China overtaking US ?? Yes , it already has. China has replaced the american's bible.

Indian government mentality play significant factor hard to make good progress

​​​@@samyang5873China will never able to overtake USA, look at it's GDP per capita and GDP, It's no where near to US and you are already dreaming like it has overtaken US. But in the case of India, it can easily over take Germany and Japan to become the third largest economy considering India has recently Surpassed UK in 2023, now it has Germany and Japan which have a GDP below 5 trillion US dollars. But GDP per capita can't be due to it's excessive amount of population. Population is always a burden for a country.
