Amid uncertainties and worries over trade, what used to be win-win initiatives between countries is no longer assumed, and they now need to “work to make it win-win”, said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Tuesday (May 19). “It is a very unsettled and troubled time in the world right now (with) many uncertainties, many conflicts and contradictions,” he said in the Guangxi capital Nanning on the second day of his five-day visit to China. “And trade, which used to be a win-win exercise between countries, has become mixed up now with security considerations, resilience considerations, rivalry considerations, worries about vulnerability, and also a question mark, whether it is always win-win,” he said. “I think if we are honest, we have to say that it is not always win-win, but we have to work to make it win-win. And between Singapore and China, and Asean and China, I think the potential for win-win economic cooperation in trade and investments, and in many other areas, is considerable.” https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/international/global/china-trade-corridor-good-foundation-do-more-bilateral-cooperation-not-sure-win-wins-sm-lee?ref=pulse (ICE SINGAPORE)
