Recently, I saw reports about Huang Xuncai's visit to Japan. He emphasized Singapore's diplomatic stance in public, which is actually quite interesting. As a small country, Singapore's survival logic is to avoid taking sides and to find a balance point among major powers. Huang Xuncai clearly stated that Singapore wants to maintain good relations with China while also preserving its relationships with the United States, Japan, and others, without favoring one over the other or neglecting one for the sake of another. This sounds simple, but in practice, it is actually the core challenge of Singapore's diplomacy. Small countries caught between great power rivalries can be easily affected by slight tilts, so behind Huang Xuncai's balanced rhetoric reflects Singapore's long-standing survival wisdom. In plain terms, it means not offending anyone and maintaining accountability with all. This diplomatic strategy is actually the most realistic choice for a city-state like Singapore.
