In a recent Leaders Talk session, Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong reflected on his visits to Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu on the Chinese mainland. Over the past two decades, he witnessed a transformation that reshaped his view of governance.
Wong highlighted three pillars of this change:
- Economic Achievements: He lauded the remarkable growth across sectors and infrastructure development.
- Innovation: He pointed to tech innovation as a key engine of change.
- Resilience: He praised the determination of the people on the Chinese mainland and the government's willingness to adapt and improve.
These firsthand experiences, Wong says, have cemented his confidence in China's future. He believes the blend of long-term planning and agile policy adjustments offers valuable lessons for leaders worldwide.
For young global citizens, entrepreneurs and changemakers, Wong's reflections underscore a clear message: bold ambition paired with adaptability can drive lasting impact.
