Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday (May 22) - TopicsExpress



          

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Thursday (May 22) painted two possible scenarios Asia faces over the next two decades: One of a region at peace, with countries working together to advance shared interests, and another of a fractious Asia marked by territorial disputes and protectionism. Speaking at the Nikkei Conference in Tokyo, Mr Lee highlighted how the interactions of three key countries -- US, China and Japan -- over the next 20 years will shape the future of the Asia-Pacific. The US will remain the worlds pre-eminent superpower in 2034, Mr Lee said, while Japan will still be one of the worlds largest economies, with great strengths in science and technology. But the biggest change for Asia in the next 20 years will be the growth of Chinas power and influence, he said.
