Tensions over Taiwan risk leading to a miscalculation between the U.S. and China as both nations step up activity around the island, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned.
“We should be concerned,” Lee said Wednesday night in an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait. “I don’t think it’s going to war overnight, but it is in a situation where you can have a mishap or a miscalculation and be in a very delicate situation.”
