Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 2: Janet Ang on Singapore’s position amid US-China rivalry
With US-China geopolitics heating up, how can Singapore ensure that it is not caught up in their “bullfight”? In view of recent presidential-level engagement between the two superpowers, how hopeful can the world be that open communication and dialogue will continue to progress constructively? How can Singapore build on its strong political and diplomatic engagement with the US and China, as well as with multilateral institutions, to be an effective “bridge-builder” to tackle common challenges such as climate change? How do Singapore’s good relations and strong trade with both powers keep the country “in the green lane” with both and enable it not to take sides? NMP Janet Ang asked these questions in Parliament on Monday (Feb 27).
