From the perspective of tariffs, Singapore is the next paradise!

Last night, Trump's tariffs officially took effect, and a chart of "U.S. reciprocal tariffs" has once again brought Southeast Asian countries into the spotlight.

Comparing with the chart below, Vietnam and Cambodia are at the forefront, facing tariffs close to 50%. It’s not just us; these Southeast Asian countries must be feeling uneasy today!

But do you know who the only unscathed and fully-retreating winner is?

That's right, Singapore. 10% to 10%, a pair of golden partners.

This means that while the world is busy "shearing American wool," Singapore has quietly and unobtrusively maintained a perfect trade balance—something not every country can achieve.

What does Singapore have?

High-level export structure + tax transparency + no disturbances.

The products Singapore exports to the U.S. are not cheap T-shirts, but high value-added:

Chips, semiconductor equipment, pharmaceutical raw materials,

Aerospace parts, high-end chemicals, financial services.

These are not businesses based on “who is cheaper buys from whom,” but technical transactions that you cannot do without.

Moreover—

Singapore does not have currency manipulation issues,

No complaints about counterfeit and inferior goods,

No records of anti-dumping investigations.

For the U.S., this represents a high-end, safe, and compliant supply chain partner.

So what help can Singapore provide for us and the financial markets in the future?

Upgrade transshipment trade: allowing goods from Southeast Asia and China to be “washed clean” through Singapore for export to the U.S., complying with regulations, and charging service fees.

Selling “digital identity”: leveraging strong regulations and reputation to help globally with digital banking and digital currency clearing. The settlement center for stablecoins from various countries is also likely to be selected here.

Acting as a “translator” between the U.S. and China: continue to maintain neutrality, allowing both sides to consider themselves friends—Singapore is the only place that can conduct military exercises with the U.S. military while also engaging in RCEP with China. #币安投票上币 #Alpha2.0爆款冲击 #Circle上市 #美国加征关税 #巨鲸动向
