The Chinese were locked behind a Red Curtain.  China was extremely poor, and not the economic and military superpower that she is today.

FDIs came here readily, and we had jobs............low level factory job.  The betters paying jobs were kept by the expats for the expats.

But we were happy to work as factory hands, storemen, machine operators because we did not have much schooling.  We were happy because we had a job.

Then, China opened up, and the factory jobs disappeared.  We moved up the value chain because we would never be able to compete with the Chinese in sunset industries.  But we also faced a challenged to educate a whole lot of boomers to do new jobs, and forget about the ones they had been doing for 30 or so years.

It is one thing to say, eew, it was such happy times last time, but not stopping for a moment to think, why?  Simply blaming Lee Hsien Loong as oppies and their ibs do is being unfair, to be fair.  He did not tell China to open up and take our jobs away.

PS: I have described the scenario of the masses. I know some of you were lucky to have a good education, or played your office politics smart, and were managers and higher, and were paid well.

Wrong. We were happy in the past because wage disparity wasn't so big then. Nothing to do with China opening up.

He is not entirely wrong, cos some of the sunset industry went to China, cos their labour cost is much lower then...........

My take is not China open up but more on govt MIW policy to go higher do more atas job for its own ppl. Then those cannot avoid blue collar jobs import ppl do. But years go by import ppl also fight to work in white collar jobs.

So what if some industry went over to China? Your statement doesn't make sense.
