(Bloomberg) – Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said that competition between the US and China will grow, although the risk of a “full decoupling” is unlikely at this stage.

“We are in a new environment, a more dangerous, more turbulent environment,” Wong told university students on Tuesday in comments posted by the Straits Times newspaper. He flagged the risk of new trade barriers or accidents and miscalculations around hotspots like the South China Sea or Taiwan Strait.

The city-state, which enjoys close trade and political relations with the two powers, are among the nations grappling with the second administration of Donald Trump, which has signalled a tougher stance on China. The newly inaugurated US President has so far held off immediate tariffs on China, although he has signalled that may be a temporary reprieve.


Still, Wong said he couldn’t conceive of a full decoupling between the US and China because of their interdependency.

“If such a scenario was to arise, frankly, god help us all” he said. “Then we are truly at the brink of a third world war.”

More fearmongering for General Elections.

Lawrence, we aren't dumb anymore.

This cannot be right because according to this article Biden was even tougher on China than Trump ever was!

How Biden took Trump's China policy and raised the stakes​

Donald Trump won praise and flak for trying to hold back China's advance. Rather than roll back his policies, the Biden administration has piled on more pressure.

Containing the rise of China — then already threatening to dethrone the United States as the world's largest economy — was a key campaign promise by Donald Trump ahead of the 2016 US presidential election.
Citing Beijing's unfair trade practices that included dumping cheap products on the global market, obstructing access to China's domestic market and stealing intellectual property, Trump vowed to levy tariffs on his Asian rival and bring manufacturing jobs back to the US.
The first measures started to take effect a year into Trump's presidency, initially on Chinese solar panels and washing machines, before expanding to thousands of Chinese-made goods. The massive policy shift stunned Beijing, which responded with tit-for-tat measures on American goods.

Pressure on China grows under Biden​

Fast forward to 2021 and the Biden administration was expected to undo most of what were widely seen as Trump's policy errors. Instead, the Democrat president held firm, keeping most of the tariffs in place.
He then imposed export controls on US high-tech products, including more recently on advanced semiconductors or chips used to power artificial intelligence (AI) platforms and military hardware.
"Biden has raised the stakes against China, bringing it to a new level," Michele Geraci, professor of finance at New York University (NYU) Shanghai, told DW. "While Trump was mostly looking at rebalancing the trade deficit, Biden has made containing China more of a philosophical and political issue."

Spoken like the WEF doggie that he (and his masters) is.

Fun fact and history lesson: the 'rise' of China, especially after the USA foolishly let it join the WTO in 2001, and a lot of the nonsense you are witnessing in the Middle East now, can be attributed to Henry Kissinger.

Yes, Henry Kissinger, LKY's mentor and buddy. You can include Klaus Schwab too, but he came later, after the 1980s.

When he was still alive, Kissinger was called 'China's old friend' by the CCP regime. He visited China long before Nixon did. He often flew to Beijing to give speeches.

Exactly... we will price your HDB with income and not resale price.

Just don't waste money on some fanciful projects and let others manage the money. I think we will lose less money.

[laksaboy]

PAP regime wants business as usual so it can continue to smuggle microchips to China, have joint military exercises with China, launder dirty money from China.

Those days are numbered.

Still waiting for the Confucius Institute and the China Cultural Centre to be shut down.
