Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Jessica Tan on Singapore's sovereignty and economic security
US-China strategic competition is deepening and global supply chains are being reshaped by security concerns, export controls and geopolitical alignment. These shifts are not distant events for Singapore, said MP Jessica Tan in parliament on Friday (Feb 27). She sought clarification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) on several fronts and raised these questions - how does MFA see the US-China relationship evolving and what does it mean for Singapore's ability to make its own choices? How is the government making sure Singapore is never pushed into taking sides, whether in technology standards, security cooperation or trade?
