When asked whether Singapore would impose sanctions on Russia after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and whether Singapore would impose sanctions on China if a conflict broke out in the Taiwan Strait, Huang Xunchai first said that this was a hypothetical problem, and Singapore did not want such a thing to happen.
Huang Xuncai pointed out that people try to compare Taiwan with Ukraine, but they are quite different in essence. Because Ukraine is a sovereign country, but Taiwan is not. Most countries in the world follow the one China policy. "Singapore has long adhered to the one China policy and opposed 'Taiwan independence', even before Singapore established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China."
Huang Xuncai stressed that Singapore is very cautious in handling its relations with the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, and should comply with the long-term one China policy. "We do not allow ourselves to be used by any cause that supports' Taiwan independence '.".
It is understood that Huang Xunchai is the current Deputy Secretary General of the Singapore People's Action Party, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. On April 15, 2024, the Singapore Prime Minister's Office issued a statement stating that Huang Xunchai would be sworn in as the fourth Prime Minister of Singapore at the Presidential Palace on the evening of May 15.
