Why is Singapore antagonising China over the South China Sea given that it is not even a claimant over the territories?
But isn't Singapore risking its diplomatic relationship with China by taking a position against its claims in the South China Sea?
While Singapore has deep economic ties with China, it also has a long-standing policy of not taking sides in international conflicts or disputes. Singapore's stance on the South China Sea is based on its commitment to international law and principles, and not driven by any desire to antagonise China or any other country.
