Singapore and China:

Neighbours to Friends, Friends to Partners
This book is jointly edited by Professor Tommy Koh,
Singapore’s Ambassador-at-Large, and Ms Lee Huay
Leng, Editor-in-Chief of SPH Chinese Media Group. It
brings together contributions from 35 thought leaders
across various disciplines.
Many of them are Singaporeans who have worked in
China or whose professional roles involve close
engagement with the country. Contributors include
experts in trade, scientific research, the arts, and
diplomacy, as well as diplomatic envoys and pioneering
business leaders who have played pivotal roles in key
bilateral initiatives such as the Suzhou Industrial Park,
Tianjin Eco-City, Chongqing Connectivity Initiative,
Guangzhou Knowledge City, and the Shenzhen Smart
City project.
Through their analyses and personal reflections, these
contributors offer insights not only into the evolution of
Singapore-China relations and China’s transformation
over time, but also into broader questions of how small
states like Singapore can be relevant and useful to a big
country like China.
