Though Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world, it enjoys the reputation of the “garden country”. With a relatively short history since its founding, it has broken through the limitations of natural condition and resource endowment, and developed into an important financial and shipping center in the world. In the Global Innovation Index (GII) issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in 2018, Singapore ranked fifth, surpassing the United States, Germany, Israel, South Korea, Japan and other sci-tech powers, with remarkable results in high-end and middle-and-high-end technology production, and high technology export.

In the process of constantly deepening cooperation, China has become Singapore’s largest trading partner for five consecutive years. Meanwhile, Singapore is the largest source country of new foreign investment to China, the second largest country of destination for investment from China, and an important offshore center for RMB.
