basically as a single party.

Well, not even basically.

There's only one party that rules Singapore.

The deal is there that you don't make too much of a fuss.

You let us run things.

We even have elections, which, you know, China did experiment with that.

But the deal is the contract, if you want, between the people and the governing party is as long as you give us

not bred in circumstances, but as long as you give us good education and the ability to have work, and more importantly, what people I found, certainly in China, and this is where it would be difficult for them, was people.

Healthcare, well, not in China anymore, no, no.

And that's one of their great feelings.

But opportunity for your kids is the one thing that, when I was talking to people down a mine in Shanxi or wherever it was, the one thing they always talked about, if there's ever a situation, it's not so much themselves, because people can put up with an awful lot, but that's the natural, you know, Italians and Chinese, maybe more than anybody else, but everybody loves their family and wants their kids to do well.

It's a universal thing.

And that's the one point where I thought the Chinese Communist Party might be vulnerable.

And they're very, very conscious of it.

Especially now, it's a very tricky situation.

You know, youth unemployment, they have to do a Trumpian thing and try and stop reporting the statistics because they're up to like, their own reported statistics were, I don't know, 25, 30%.

You know, when you've got 30% of the population and 120 million people or something like that graduating every year, it's kind of, it's crazy difficult.

And that's why you've had this huge reaction from people wanting to quote unquote lie flat.

And that's an enormous thing.

And that's where I was going to report next.
