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.
