GROWING tensions between the United States and China have an impact on both Singapore's foreign relations and economic growth, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in his Chinese speech during Sunday night's National Day Rally. But although Singapore's growth has slowed this year, it has not significantly affected jobs so far, he added.
Regarding the US-China tensions, Singapore is good friends with both China and the US, and wants to remain so, he said. In dealing with the two, Singapore"must be principled in our approach, and not swayed by emotion".
