Even though leaders of China are taking lessons from Singapore, we should not be complacent in our achievements as bilateral ties are now a two-way street, with Singapore learning as much from China as China does from Singapore.
"We cannot be complacent. We have a special and close relationship with China. We have to continue to work at it, bring it to new levels, upgrade it, recognise the new changes in Singapore and in China, and bring our bilateral cooperation to new levels. " PRESIDENT TONY TAN KENG YAM, on Singapore's relationship with China
I agree with this point as this relationship with China is important as we learn from each other, and being complacent will not allow us to improve.
From the articles, I found out that Shanghai retained its title as the world’s busiest container port for a fifth consecutive year after widening the gap with Singapore. Shanghai, Shenzhen and other ports in China are dominating the global container-shipping market. Hence, we need to work harder to improve and not fall behind while the other countries take the lead.
