    SINGAPORE is the third most vulnerable economy to a sustained trade slowdown in China after Hong Kong and Mongolia, according to a Moody's Investors Service report released on Tuesday.

    The report examined 23 rated Asia-Pac economies to identify the countries that are the most vulnerable to slower growth in Chinese demand - based on the proportion of their exports that go to China - and which could gain from longer-term shifts in investment and trade connections.
