Singapore’s Next Premier Warns US, China May Be ‘Sleepwalking Into A War’

Daily Mail: 'We are reaching dangerous territory': Now Singapore's next PM warns US and China are closer to war after Pelosi's Taiwan visit, American missile tests and Beijing's military drills 

* 'Following the visit, tensions have gone up one notch,' Lawrence Wong said in an interview with Bloomberg 

* 'We're starting to see a series of decisions being taken by both countries that will lead us to more dangerous territory'
