In the southeast corner of Asia, there is a country with a big palm, Singapore, don't look at it small, but the ability is great. It's a country, but it's actually similar to a big city of ours, but the education and law in this city are very good, and people are not used to corruption at all. Interestingly, when the prime minister goes to the people, he can open his mouth to come to two sentences in Chinese, so that we can listen to it more cordially, and it feels different from other Southeast Asian countries.
If you think Singapore is all that it can do, you're underestimating it. The military strength of this small country is very good, the army drives the Leopard 2 tank, the Air Force F-15 and F-16 fighters roar into the blue sky, and there is no shortage of early warning aircraft, which is simply a military equipment exhibition. Think about it, such a place, can afford such a luxurious army, you have to serve!
Why is Singapore fighting so hard? This has to start from history, the lessons of the Japanese army made Singapore understand that if you want not to be bullied, you have to be tough enough. Therefore, this military construction is carried out with the vigor of "never letting the tragedy happen again".
Recently, Singapore has a new prime minister, Lawrence Wong, who has a good balance on the international stage. As soon as he came to power, he said that Singapore will not take sides, and whoever is good to me will be good to him, especially for China, the one-China principle is unswerving, and we will not let the "Taiwan independence" think carefully to make trouble. As for the United States, Premier Huang is also direct, saying that your "small circle" is not good, it is easy to hurt and anger, we have to coexist peacefully, don't make trouble.
Looking at Singapore's attitude, the United States probably has mixed feelings in its heart. After all, they want to win over Singapore to give themselves extra points, but this new prime minister is clearly not a fuel-efficient lamp and has his own ideas.
In the final analysis, Singapore is a small country, but it is smart to know that you have to keep a hand in dealing with whomever you want, not only to maintain the safety of your own doorstep, but also to walk a tightrope between the two major powers of China and the United States, impartially. No, China-Singapore cooperation continues to deepen, the Belt and Road projects are in full swing, and Singapore's development momentum cannot be stopped.
Finally, we also have to ask the big guys, what do you think about the wisdom of a small country like Singapore to survive in the gap between big countries? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area, let's talk together.
