Chinese Ambassador to Singapore H.E. Cao Zhongming attended a live Bloomberg interview in Singapore, where former Foreign Minister George Yeo and former UN Permanent Representative Kishore Mahbubani discussed artificial intelligence, geopolitics and ASEAN’s institutional resilience.
H.E. Cao Zhongming, Chinese Ambassador to Singapore, attended Bloomberg’s live taping of The Mishal Husain Show in Singapore, where he had the opportunity to hear a wide discussion between two of Singapore’s most prominent former diplomats. The programme featured George Yeo, Singapore’s former Foreign Minister, and Kishore Mahbubani, the country’s former Permanent Representative to the United Nations, in conversation with Bloomberg journalist Mishal Husain.
The discussion covered a broad range of pressing global issues, including the growing influence of artificial intelligence, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and the institutional resilience of ASEAN as a regional bloc. Both Mr Yeo and Professor Mahbubani drew on their extensive diplomatic careers to offer perspectives on how these forces are reshaping the international landscape.
Reflecting on the discussion, Ambassador Cao noted that the world is undergoing changes unseen in a century, with technological and economic competition intensifying as the international order undergoes profound transformation. He described the conversation as offering deep insights into the forces shaping the present era, and one well worth continued attention and reflection.
The event forms part of Bloomberg’s broader Mishal Husain Show series, which has featured prominent global figures across politics, business and culture. Its live staging in Singapore shows the city-state’s standing as a place for high-level dialogue on regional and international affairs, drawing senior diplomatic figures such as Ambassador Cao to engage directly with these discussions.
Ambassador Cao’s attendance reflects the continued engagement of the Chinese Embassy in Singapore with platforms that explore the evolving global order, particularly as technological competition and geopolitical realignment remain central themes in international discourse.
