Just take a look at the 46th Birthday of the Nation on 9 Aug 2011 that was shown to the world in the Spore Website and on CNA TV channel to Asia. The historic show play on the floating stage give a very good picture of the full progress of the nation.
Many countries in the world came to see, study and learn including China, India, Middle East Group, the Asean Countries and some African in the form of given scholorship for their talented students & young leaders. In recent years, many experts & high officials of IMF, World Bank, UN have openly ask other countries in the world to take a close look of Spore Progress and find out where they can pick up some tips to learn or copy from this Model City/Nation of the World. China openly admitted that they learn something from Spore and Spore also got lot of learning from China........A Giant & a Dwarf close relationship in mutual progress learning.
Spore started learning the industrial knowhow from Germany, Japan, Briton in the early days of independant as a nation and with the early understanding and practices of entreport trading in the region was able to speed up the progress from 3rd world nation to a 1st world nation in just 46 years and not many did it in the world.
Spore achieved many first in the world like the Changi Airport, SIA , the Harbour, the Newater Development with a NEW WATER INDUSTRY of its own. These are just a few to attract attention..........Are you now convinced that American can also learn from here of Asian Progress.
