Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong sounded the alarm over worsening relations between the US and China, particularly as China’s political and economic clout in the world grows.

“The world cannot afford a conflict between China and the rest of the world, and in particular between China and the US,” Lee said in an interview with Chinese broadcaster CCTV earlier this month, the transcript of which was released by the prime minister’s office Saturday.
