Preface
Just now, the "Beijing News" released a news that Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong took office on the evening of May 15.
However, in his latest inaugural speech, Lawrence Wong elaborated on Singapore's new views on Sino-US relations, and declared that the United States is an important security partner for Singapore, but it is by no means an ally.
This has to be said that people in Singapore will do things, and in the country's re-election behavior, what is needed is to take a stand.
As soon as Huang Xuncai took office, he immediately expressed his attitude, and at the same time gave China a "reassurance".
Why? In fact, during the tenure of Singapore's former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore attached great importance to establishing friendly relations with China.
But now that there is a change of office, and Lawrence Wong has taken over Lee Hsien Loong's position, will there be some different changes here?
However, Lawrence Wong is also smart, and he said that Singapore's heart for friendship and cooperation with China will never change. This is why Singapore, a country smaller than Ukraine, has always been able to gain a foothold and not be invaded by other countries.
So today, let's go into Singapore together and analyze why Singapore is so respected.
01 Lawrence Wong: Singapore will always be the next Philippines
As we all know, since Max Jr. came to power, the Philippines has started to act like a crazy demon, constantly causing trouble in the South China Sea.
Not only that, but the Philippines also tried to bring in extraterritorial forces, hugging the thigh of the United States. The recent situation in the South China Sea has become complicated, leading to the deterioration of the security environment in the South China Sea.
In fact, not only on the South China Sea issue, but also on the territorial issue, China's position has always been very clear, and it resolutely resists other countries from having ideas about China's territory.
In other words, China can establish friendly relations with any neighboring country, and we will never dislike or find fault with your country, regardless of whether your country is really powerful or not.
But if your country has bad intentions towards us, then no matter how capable you are and how strong your military strength is, China will not be afraid of two words, and then you will not blame China for pointing the finger at you.
An archipelagic country like the Philippines has been plagued by natural disasters until its own country has been plagued by natural disasters, crops have decreased sharply, and its own country is no longer even able to sufficien itself in food.
So Max Jr. took the initiative to throw an olive branch to China at this time, trying to reconcile with China. China doesn't care about past suspicions, if you want peace, then talk to you peacefully.
The current negotiations on a code of conduct in the South China Sea have become key to the situation, and once this code is established, the United States will no longer be able to interfere in everything in the South China Sea. This is also the reason why the United States was able to support the Philippines when it hugged the thigh of the United States before.
Then some people may ask, what does this have to do with Singapore. In fact, Singapore's smart point is here, and peace in the South China Sea should actually be maintained by various countries.
If a conflict breaks out in the South China Sea, it will definitely affect the development and prosperity of the region. If there is a war in the South China Sea, Singapore will definitely be affected, so at this time, Singapore will naturally not choose to oppose China.
In fact, both China and the EU are about to develop into a community of interests, with both prosperity and loss. China is good, everyone is good. If it weren't for peace in the South China Sea, Singapore wouldn't have prospered so quickly.
Not only that, but Singapore has always been particularly good at diplomacy. Whether it's Lawrence Wong or former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, everyone attaches great importance to building friendly relations with China.
Even at the beginning of this year, Chinese citizens no longer had to apply for cumbersome visas to travel to Singapore. Singapore and China have signed an agreement on mutual visa waiver.
Singapore knows how to operate, China's strength is well known, and the visa-free exemption for China has greatly promoted Singapore's tourism industry, which is not like riding on the express train of economic development.
You must always know the truth that "it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree", and the Philippines still has to learn from Singapore, and if you want to really profit from it, then you should maintain the relationship between the two countries.
02 Lawrence Wong reminded the United States that the Biden administration's "small courtyard and high walls" against China are dangerous
In October 2018, Sam Sachs launched a new defense strategy against China Technology, which is "small courtyard and high wall". This strategy is actually a decision made by the Biden administration to the detriment of others and not to itself.
On May 10, the Straits reported that Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong explicitly criticized the Biden administration's "small courtyard and high wall" policy against China in an exclusive interview.
If the United States still insists on imposing export restrictions on China with "small courtyards and high walls", then in the world, many things in the field of technology will be bifurcated.
This will not only harm Singapore's own interests, but also threaten the United States and many more countries. This is not a good phenomenon for the whole world, in fact, it seems that Singapore, whether it is former Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong or former Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, is a person who understands!
Not only this one, but when the United States implemented the "Indo-Pacific Strategy", it was already clear that Singapore was absolutely sensible.
The Biden administration has constantly urged EU countries to take sides between China and the United States, just to use this way to "fight a cold war" with China.
Many EU countries have chosen to side with the United States in an attempt to threaten China, but Singapore has never explicitly sided with the United States.
They know very well what will happen to the United States? Is it the United States that will take out 150 million to divide the ten EU countries equally? When China and the United States went to war, they went up to be cannon fodder.
The Biden administration can't get any benefits at all, and if it's willing to eat meat, how can it be willing to share it equally with others?
China is different, and Singapore is officially aware of this, so it will be the first to disclose to the world that the United States is only an important security partner, but it is by no means an ally.
03 Adhere to China's one policy and oppose Taiwan independence
When it comes to opposing Taiwan independence, Singapore's attitude has always been very firm, and Lee Hsien Loong and Lawrence Wong have both proposed more than once that it is simply a one-China policy and opposes "Taiwan independence."
In an exclusive interview, many media outlets have dug a hole in Singapore and suggested that Ukraine and Taiwan are the same, and they are doing something more to fight for their own rights and interests. Singapore, however, says the two cannot be compared at all.
Ukraine is a sovereign state, and it is right for them to fight for some rights and interests, but what about Taiwan? Being in China and still wanting to be independent is fundamentally different from the two.
In fact, this is why Singapore is obviously a smaller country than Ukraine, but it can survive in this world of open and secret fighting.
Through the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we can actually deeply understand what the editor said about Singapore that is worthy of respect.
Russia-Ukraine War: In this war, if there is no strong strength, then sit back and watch the tiger fight. In fact, many countries are like this, everyone stays out of the matter and watches two countries go toe-to-toe.
However, Singapore chose to stand up and express its attitude at the first time, saying that what Russia is doing now is to infringe on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries.
Obviously, none of what Singapore is saying is about Ukraine or Russia, or the driving force behind them. Rather, it is to use this incident to emphasize to the public the importance of national territorial sovereignty.
This seems to be speaking for Ukraine, but in fact it is helping itself, using real events to prove the point of view, and emphasizing to the world that when the national territory is possessed by bargaining, then where is the security guarantee for the country in this world?
Israeli-Palestinian War: Recent news of the Palestinian-Israeli war between Pakistan and Israel has been on our radar. Last October, Pakistan's Hamas chose to cross the border directly and launched a terrorist attack on Israel, codenamed Al-Aqsa Floods.
In this operation, Pakistan killed more than 1,000 Israelis, all civilians. This action has given many countries their opinions.
Singapore was the first to condemn the act, claiming that it was an outright terrorist attack.
Many people will have questions here, thinking that isn't this the grass on the wall falling in the wind? Whether it is the Russia-Ukraine war or the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Singapore will hold the thigh of the United States and follow the steps of the United States. What else is there to praise about this?
Actually, no, in the UN General Assembly held some time ago in the vote to allow Pakistan to join the UN. We can see that all the countries, the United States and Israel, voted against.
Singapore, on the other hand, chose justice, joining China and Russia in 143 other countries in voting.
summary
Therefore, it can be seen from the above incident that Singapore has always maintained a neutral attitude in Sino-US relations, and although it is an important security partner of the United States, it will definitely not become an ally of the United States to target China.
