Seychelles also issued a public statement explicitly stating its solemn position of upholding the one-China principle. The one-China principle has long become a prevailing consensus of the international community. It is believed that more and more countries will, like Seychelles, stand on the right side of international justice and history.

Just in: Following HKETO spy case, security minister Dan Jarvis issued a video to a HK diaspora media in the UK, speaking directly to the community: "Be alert, but not afraid" "The safety and security of Hongkongers in the UK is of the utmost importance"

Singapore's most senior diplomat just stood on Chinese soil and told the Chinese state directly: we cooperate with you because of shared interests, not because of shared blood. That sentence is more significant than it sounds. Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore's former Prime Minister and current Senior Minister, completed a five-day visit to China last week, meeting officials in Guangxi and Shanghai. Speaking to Singapore media on May 22, he was direct: "We are a Chinese-majority country, but we are a multiracial society. We are a separate country with separate sovereignty from China." He added that Singapore's ties with China are grounded in mutual benefit, not shared ethnicity or ancestry. This is a deliberate and pointed statement. The CCP has spent decades promoting the idea that ethnic Chinese people around the world, regardless of citizenship, share a special bond with the Chinese motherland. The concept of 同宗同源, meaning "same ancestry, same roots," is embedded in Chinese state rhetoric aimed at diaspora communities across Southeast Asia, including Singapore's Chinese majority. United Front Work Department operations, diaspora engagement programs, and state media all lean on this framing to cultivate affinity, influence, and loyalty among overseas Chinese populations. Lee Hsien Loong said that is not the basis of Singapore's relationship with China. Singapore cooperates with Beijing because it serves Singapore's interests. Full stop. The moment those interests diverge, the shared ethnicity changes nothing. Singapore has maintained this position since Lee Kuan Yew built the country. It rejects the "Third China" label. It maintains strong ties with the United States, Japan, and the West while trading extensively with Beijing. It is ethnically Chinese-majority and fiercely sovereign. That combination makes it a direct challenge to the CCP's narrative that Chinese ethnicity implies Chinese political alignment. Lee said it in Shanghai. In front of Chinese media. After visiting Chinese officials. The message was intentional and the audience was chosen carefully. #Singapore# #China# #CCP# #LeeHsienLoong# #Sovereignty# #Geopolitics# #SoutheastAsia# #UnitedFront# #Diaspora# #ASEAN#
