I feel that there had been internal conflicts, between Shanghai-and-Beijing-based conservatives (often sons of pioneer generals such as Xi Jinping and Bo Xilai, or people close to 'big bankers', known as the Shanghai Clique) and comparatively liberal grassroots leaders in China (e.g. Hu Jintao, Wen Jiabao, Li Keqiang and Wang Yang).
Xi Jinping is to be the leader in China, later this year. Li Keqiang is about to be made Xi's assistant. However, there is tussle to be the Number 3 most powerful person in China - the 'head of Internal Security'. Bo, the former head of Chongqing, is tussling with his predecessor, Wang -
First, one of Bo's assistant gets prosecuted by Bo, and he's now in remand by the Beijing authorities for trying to seek asylum in the States. Then, Wang tries to launch an 'anti-corruption campaign' to show Bo, noted for his previous anti-corruption campaigns in the past, who's better. Next, Bo is suspended from his posts. Now Wang is expected to be in line for the coverted leadership position...
I mention all these, because I realise that -
Many people just want a powerful post to achieve some aim. To... be the powerful spokesperson for my 'people' - the autism community in Singapore? For what? Self-enrichment? Self-improvement? Or for the good of the group?
They stand between 2 powerful factions in Singapore, regardless of special needs:
1. Those who are into big money (aka Big Bankers)
2. Those who share the Ground's sentiments
I think this is a very dangerous divide.
Most Aspies are in Group 2, but it is clear that there could be only one leader in Group 2.
But I also understand that Group 1 is more likely to earn the trust of Big Bankers and hence, the current Government.
