Insights From Asia’s Senior Statesman Lee Kuan Yew 
"We talk about China's rise, its surging wealth and power, but the U.S. has been Number One for so long it's hard to really picture what it means, or will mean. Hard to really know what to think.
Lee Kwan Yew knows. Asia's most senior statesman. A longtime friend of the US. A grand master of global strategy out of little Singapore. And here's what he sees.
Does China want to be Number One? Of course. Will they be? Pretty likely. Will we fight? We'd better not."
Tom Ashbrook speaks with Robert Blackwill and Graham Allison about the collected wisdom of grand master Lee Kuan Yew during this February 13 broadcast of NPR's On Point.

About the book:
When Lee Kuan Yew speaks, who listens? Presidents, prime ministers, chief executives, and all who care about global strategy. Lee has been a mentor to every Chinese leader from Deng Xiaoping to Xi Jinping, and a counselor to every U.S. president from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. In this succinct book, Graham Allison and Robert Blackwill, two leading strategic thinkers, extract the essence of Lee Kuan Yew's visionary thinking about critical issues including the futures of China and the United States, U.S.-China relations, India, and globalization. Drawing from extensive interviews with Lee as well as his writings and speeches, the authors distill Lee's views on essential policy choices as the U.S. pivots toward Asia
