Reference News Network, February 11** According to Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao"**February 10**, Singapore's **Shantarman attended the "Gathering Business and Benefiting the People to Welcome the Golden Dragon" New Year group gathering event jointly organized by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the social organization "Business China" on February 10, saying that at a time when the outside world is increasingly skeptical of China's economic growth, everyone needs to look at the overall situation and realize that challenges and advantages coexist, and China's fundamental strength is undoubted, and it is still constantly strengthening and consolidating.
According to the report, Shanmugarman believes that China's strength is undoubted, it no longer relies on cheap labor, and has a well-established industrial system. In industrial sectors such as electric vehicles and industrial robots, China has a strong manufacturing system and has export competitiveness. Moreover, while China's overall workforce is no longer expanding, it is still home to a strong pool of talent, including engineers, scientists, and a growing skilled workforce.
"Narratives that focus only on China's vulnerability or emphasize China's power ignore the big picture," he said. We must recognize that challenges and strength can coexist. ”
Tharman also noted that Singapore, as a small economy, is surrounded by a steady stream of opportunities, including from China, India, Southeast Asia, the United States and Europe.
