SINGAPORE, March 14 (Agencies): Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said there was considerable risk of tensions between China and the United States becoming severe, and that while a military conflict was more likely than it was five years ago, the odds were not high, said Reuters.

Relations between the United States and China sank to their lowest point in decades under former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, with Beijing pushing for greater global influence in a challenge to traditional US leadership.
