I am talking about protectionism for social aspects, not intellectual property rights. Every year many talents leave singapore because they are not adequately protected by the govt. its because of the govt's pro MNC policy regarding employment wages and even education that are in favour of investors rather than citizens well being.

How does "protectionism for social aspects" work - considering that your opening thread had liberally used the word - "protectionism" - in so many different applications ?

If this is not another one of her flippant and irrerevent one liners that is meant to drive the flow off-track.
woei uncle, dun everytime hum here and there ok,...humsup Uncle, must be.
When i attended those international trade conferences, protectionism is alway on the table, basically, it evolve mostly on farming issues and other commodities, not much a concern for Singapore, we are in WTO, freetrade in many organisation, it is more on farming economy sense, therefore protectionism got nothing to do with a boy ability to hack computer, those are domestic issue. Yes, TS may be right that given more freedom to roam, people can be more creative, but it is 2 side of the coins we are talking about, one being creative, the other being creative of social problems, just like free shooting spree is also a creation of too much freedom on the negative side of the society.
To end it, when all these delegates talks about protection of their rice, meat, sugar etc etc...in the conference, i will be snoring or eating at the free buffets outside..Yummy!

Who is the Taiwanese "hum" attempting to impress ?
Will anyone invite a Taiwanese "hum" without any integrity to any trade conferences that involve WTO issues ?
Obviously, the Taiwanese "hum" is no more then another FRAUDSTER - with its characteristic of dishonesty, vanity, and total lack of INTEGRITY.
Only a Taiwanese "hum" with no integrity will imagine itself to be attending BIG TIME Conferences involving WTO issue - when it attempt to hide from its real world working in the sleazy bar and surviving on the flesh trade of its own kind of "hum".
Can a Taiwanese "hum" - who knows nothing about INTEGRITY - get itself involve with WTO issues ?
It is not surprising that it will boast that - "it will be snoring or eating at the free buffets" - while spreading garbage about itself attending a conference on WTO issue.
The real purpose is not to contribute anything positive in any thread, but simply to spam the idiocy of a "hum" and to derail the thread with its flippant 'one-liner' loaded with its toxic verbiage.
Wait wait... social protectionism?? I'm sure theres another word for it somewhere out there.
In any case, there is a lot to be said about innovation, but I've yet to come across anything about protectionism. Maybe there is a link somewhere, but it may not be as positive as you claim it to be.
Innovation is a lot to do with close partnerships between industries, universities and governments these days. Look at silicon valley. Stanford university is there, so are all the leading high-tech industries. They cluster around there for a reason, access to R&D.
A lot about innovations and creativity is about building up people's knowledge and getting them to think critically and out of the box. I think maybe your definition of "the social aspect of protectionism" is a little too broad. Maybe you should narrow it down to something more concrete?
