Will Biden and Xi Jinping take heed from LHL?
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong again warned the U.S. and China to deescalate their tensions, saying both powers presume incorrectly they would win in any conflict.
“The reality is, neither side can put the other one down,” Lee said on Tuesday, speaking by video link to the Aspen Security Forum. “I think that is a possible misunderstanding on both sides.”
The U.S. is not in terminal decline, as some in Beijing believe, Lee said. Equally, “China is not going to disappear. This is not the Soviet Union.”
“I don’t know whether Americans realize what a formidable adversary they would be taking on if they decide that China is an enemy.”
