Although there are many countries in the world, small and small countries have unique characteristics among them. These countries are small, and some even have only one city. As a rule, they keep to themselves, know their own proportions, and dare not offend major powers. However, there is one exception, and this country is not only a small country, but also shows an extraordinary offensive against our country. This is Singapore.
Although Singapore insists that it is not a pocket country, its more than 700 square kilometers of land, which only houses one city, is essentially a pocket country. Due to its limited territory, Singapore has little to no defense in depth and has even had to deploy its national army outside its borders. The core of this strategic layout is to build the capacity for the second recovery of the country to ensure domestic security.
This small pocket country has been taking unusual action against my country all along. In the era of the rise of the West, Singapore frequently criticized our country and promoted the containment of our country. Especially when it comes to the South China Sea, Singapore is always not far away. What's more, they have repeatedly undermined China's efforts in the Belt and Road Initiative, especially for projects such as the Gwadar port, which is obviously a deliberate attempt to suppress China.
Why is a small country so bold in provoking our country?Actually, there are two main reasons.
The idea of servitude is deep-rooted.
First, Singapore is deeply rooted in the "slave mentality". With a century of colonial history, Singapore has long been assimilated by the West. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they quickly threw themselves into the arms of the West and became the younger brothers of the West. The Chinese became the ruled, and the status of the white man was elevated to the status of the master. The worship of the West and the idea of servility have made Singapore a loyal ally of the West, and the master is born and dies.
A misjudgment of China's benevolence and righteousness.
Secondly, Singapore is a country of Chinese descent, so it has a better understanding of China's concept of benevolence and righteousness. However, they misinterpret this righteousness as weakness. In their view, China tends to be too benevolent in its approach to problems, so they think they can act recklessly without fear of retaliation. On the contrary, they believe that their tough behavior will win more favor in the West, and therefore have no qualms about provocations against our country.
Singapore has been fuelling the South China Sea crises in the past and has played a role in hindering the Belt and Road Initiative. However, today's China is no longer the tolerated China it once tolerated and Singapore's challenge to the great powers is destined to pay a heavy price.
Faced with this situation, China needs to take more resolute and decisive measures and demonstrate zero tolerance for any challenge. Only then can the tiny countries that misjudged China weakness understand that any offense is not without cost. We look forward to your valuable comments on this issue and in-depth discussion with us.

This essay profoundly reveals the peculiar behavior of Singapore, a small pocket-sized country, towards China, and shows the multi-layered causes of this phenomenon through an analysis of history, culture, and strategy. First of all, the article clarifies the background of Singapore's century-long colonization by the West, and the deep-rooted slave mentality. This "servile mentality" makes Singapore more inclined to cater to the West in international affairs, become an ally under the Western-dominated system, and actively participate in the encirclement of China at the behest of the West. This point is indeed thought-provoking.
Second, the article points out Singapore's misjudgment of China's concept of benevolence and righteousness. As a country of Chinese descent, Singapore should have a deeper understanding of Chinese cultural traditions, but they see China's benevolence as weak. This misunderstanding led to Singapore's provocative actions against China. This phenomenon makes people sigh that even countries with the same roots may have differences in cognition and even lead to miscalculations and conflicts due to historical, political and other reasons.
It is worth affirming that while presenting the problem, the article also provides a certain amount of information on China's current coping strategy. Emphasizing that China is no longer the tolerant China of the past, it needs to show a firmer stance and send a clear signal to those who misjudge China through decisive measures. This view raises some questions about China's foreign policy. While safeguarding national dignity and interests, how China can use diplomatic means more skillfully to promote international harmony and cooperation is a topic worthy of in-depth study.
However, I think there are some other factors worth considering about this issue. For example, did the history of Singapore's assimilation to the West mentioned in the article also affect their understanding and identification with Chinese culture to a certain extent?Moreover, does China's image in international affairs and the way it interacts with other countries also have some influence on the behavior of such a small state?
Overall, this article provokes people to think about international politics, cultural differences, and other issues through the analysis of this special small and small country. For China, it is more important to engage with other countries with a more intelligent and open attitude in the process of its own rise, so as to build more harmonious international relations.
