The commemorative activities marking the 80th anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Singapore government has dispatched the country's second-ranking political figure, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat, to attend.
This is also Singapore's consistent "balanced diplomacy" strategy. In the Asian region, Singapore does not want a major power to rise and challenge American interests, while at the same time relying on the United States and Japan to balance the forces of different countries in the region, thus ensuring Singapore's prosperity.
Therefore, Singapore is making every effort to promote the easing of relations between China and the United States to avoid being "forced to take sides," while at the same time welcoming the active involvement of the United States and Japan in Asia-Pacific affairs, allowing "small countries" to "swim freely" between major powers.
