Primary Evidence
"Deng Xiaoping then sent tens of thousands of Chinese, officials and members of the Communist Party, to Singapore so they could make the most of Singapore’s achievements. China openly used the city-state as a cadre school to train numerous Chinese leaders, for example, by sending Jiang Zemin as early as 1980, who was the Vice President of the Commission for Foreign Investments and later the Mayor of Shanghai, to eventually become the head of state in 1993 and Deng Xiaoping’s successor. From 1985 to the 1990s, the Chinese government did not hesitate to recruit Dr. Goh Keng Swee, one of Lee Kuan Yew’s lieutenants and often considered the architect of Singapore’s economic development, as an economic advisor."
