Me thinks Lawrence official visit to China means he will meet PRC gov 1st as DPM rather than going to the US.
Sullivan and Blinken can wait for a later appt.

Do you know why ?

Because SG gov is fed up with Biden playing politics with our global economy and restricting open trade in key industry like semiconductor, in the name of "national security"
You can get the hint who the "Big Boys" whom Lawrence has blame for SG's future challenges in this video. This is why he accepted Chinese gov invitation right after attending the G7 meeting.


“If you think about this, tax incentives and subsidies are all public funds. So it’s highly inconsistent to say ‘tax incentives cannot do’, but subsidies ‘yes, let’s do more’...Unfortunately, we are now in a world where rules are shaped not by logic or principles, but by geopolitics and security imperatives. And Singapore is already feeling the impact....” - DPM Wong at May Day Rally 2023.

It is consensus of all ASEAN members to stay clear of tw straits matter,
to ensure this region remain stable and room to develop. And certainly 
not to accelerate to world war. 

Sg may still abide to the Beekok of technology policies, but to involve in a War
that is a clear no. We know Asia century cannot come if world war come into this region. 
We know clearly Europe who is heavily destroyed in the world war lose their dominance.
