Singapore prime minister Lee Hsien Loong comments at the Boao Forum

  • Says that US and China should avoid further escalation in trade tensions
  • Trade war between US and China is far from inevitable
  • Consequence for the world could be catastrophic if trade tensions between US and China rise
  • Multilateral WTO system must hold up
  • Trade disputes should be resolved in WTO framework

Not much else that hasn't been said before, but it's clear by the WTO comments which side of the fence Lee is on when it comes to dispute between US and China.
