    CHINESE technology firms may be eyeing Singapore as a good spot to expand their R&D development.

    The emerging trend comes as China's WeBank launched a fintech research centre with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) on Thursday, joining a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) service, which also opened its R&D facility in Singapore, its first outside China.
