More so than other countries, thats for sure. But they're not quite there yet.

Lee Hsien Loong is a mathematician, but he's a career politician by trade.

A good chunk of the PAP are doctors, but most of them are businessmen, public servants and "soldiers". There are doctors, yes, but it's a shrinking minority. I don't remember any engineers or computer scientists in the PAP. Fuck, Singapore has a crisis of engineers and computer scientists leaving the country.

China might be a lot closer to the technocracy. It sounds like they have a ton of engineers in the CCP.

I think "technocracy" is too nebulous a term to ever label an actual government as such.

25 year rule.

Not ever. There could very well be government made up majorly of engineers and science educated politicians.

If you look at the Chinese policies, they're playing the long game and making advances yearly. Their policies are well thoughtout most of the time. Now compare that to the US policies, where they are governed by emotional outrage or the corporate lobbies. Its a stark difference between the two.

Obama and his administrations have tried to do something similar by getting advices from tech/science industry leaders, but those don't go well with the republican congress. Its sad but policymaking in US is too backward compared to shit hole like China.

The gist of technocracy is that those with technological knowledge are put in office because of of their know how
It's essentially a technical aristocracy
In China and Singapore those are just politicians that happen to be engineers, mathematicians, etc
