Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 2: Gerald Giam on navigating US-China relations
In parliament on Monday (Mar 3), MP Gerald Giam stated that Singapore's most pressing foreign policy challenge today is managing the escalating rivalry between the US and China. He said that as a small state with an open economy, Singapore is highly vulnerable to disruptions from this great power competition. He also noted that changes in US engagement in Asia and rising military tensions with China create new security challenges for Singapore, and pointed out ways in which Singapore can strengthen its defence resilience.
