SINGAPORE: US-China ties were already “complicated” before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the blame game between them over the outbreak will not help"solve the problem sooner", particularly in a time when countries need to work together, said Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.Advertisement“US-China relations have been complicated even before this. But if we are going to deal with this virus, you have got to get all the countries to be working together, in particular, US and China.
“I am sure that there were many aspects of the Chinese response to this outbreak which they will look back upon and believe that they should have done better,” Mr Lee said. Mr Zakaria also asked if the world could organise itself without some kind of agenda setting in the absence of US leadership. When asked if Mr Lee would prefer to see American leadership on this issue, he said: “Yes of course. You have the resources, you have the science, you have the influence, you have the soft power, and you have the track record of dealing with these problems convincingly and successfully, and in the greater good of many countries, not just the US.
The Prime Minister also said that unless something was done to stop the spread of the pandemic, COVID-19 could be around for several years.
For China, their war is over. For the rest of the world, 3 months will not end it, which is how long China fought theirs.
Trump is ruining his country for self benefit and hundreds of thousands will die. Xi deliberately concealed what was going on and it caused and outbreak in his own country and across the world. Both cannot be trusted. Both are criminals.
Absolutely, it’s time to be united to fight this invisible enemy. Let’s share the best practises and learnings that helped contain the virus in few places and help the vulnerable countries - esp the poorer ones in need.
What? China is obviously at fault for bringing down the world economy. They lied, deceived and hid information.... tell the truth!
right?
Trump should blame himself. Instead of preparing he was calling it a Democrat hoax.
Z m
But one thing we know which its true and no debate...the Virus came from Wuhan. No argument on this one
It’s like pot calling the kettle black
So many anti chinese blaming China , so many finger pointings , like i said before , it doesn't help at all .......
