SINGAPORE - Singapore should prepare for"easily" up to 30 years of competition between the United States and China, which could take the form of skirmishes off the sea or proxy wars, said former foreign minister George Yeo on Tuesday .

This year's event, with the theme"City", comprises seven virtual forums on Jan 13 and 17, and a physical conference on Jan 24. "For example, the current tension between the US and China will mark this period of history and it will go on for years to come… sometimes high tension, sometimes low tension."

Working through Asean, Singapore can better navigate the big powers - not by taking sides, but by leaning"a little to the other side" in the event anyone pushes Singapore too hard. Also taking part in the in-person panel discussion was former chief city planner Liu Thai Ker, though their audience was an online one. Viewers could submit questions - one of which was how Singapore could thrive amid conflicting spheres of influence between China and the US.
