<Lee's influence extended well beyond Singapore's borders. A Cambridge-educated lawyer of Chinese descent, he was uniquely positioned to interpret the U.S.-China relationship and spoke frequently on the subject. As prime minister, Lee served as a key adviser of several American presidents, making frequent visits to the White House during his years in power. But Lee was also influential in China. In his acclaimed biography of the Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, the Sinologist Ezra Vogel wrote that Deng consulted Lee during the initial stages of China's economic reform. Indeed, China's blueprint for prosperity—economic liberalization combined with political repression—closely followed that of Singapore.>
<Lee was a visionary of equal merit, and Deng would thrust on him (and him alone) the mantle of 'mentor'. China's reformer wasn't the only one who sought Lee's counsel. Lee was the only individual who has been called to give counsel to every US president since Nixon.>
