I am a Dutchman of 70 living in France and I agree for 100% with Mahbubani Kishore: Western intellectuals are arrogant. I would say VERY arrogant! When there are discussions, lectures about China, India, Arab or African countries on western TV channels, there are "rarely" intellectuals/experts from these countries. The average western man or woman, but also leading intellectuals, have no idea of the geopolitical and demographic changes taking place. Many still have the mindset from The Cold War, for when they talk about modern Russia, they refer to that country in Cold War rhetoric. Even so called bright intellectuals have never heard of the late Lee Kuan Yew, Deng Xiaoping or BRICS or The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation or even the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and so on!

The first caucasian western student posed a typical western question about China on "Human Rights." Obviously he thinks about voting and freedom of expression. But.....lifting 800.000.000 people out of poverty within 40 years, is not that the greatest achievement of "Chinese Human Rights?" Show me one country or group of countries, that ever achieved this? So it is not a coincidence the second white western student was asking a similar question about China's "foul play."
