Let us put things in perspective.
China is our largest trading partners and Singapore is the largest investor in China.
But Singapore has also many large trading partners such as :-
(1) ASEAN
(2) FTA with US
(3) FTA with India
(4) FTA with Japan
(5) FTA with Australia, New Zealand
(6) Impending FTA with EU
(7) FTA with S Korea
and many trade with Countries all over the World ---- which comprise our vital trading partners and trade that contribute to our GDP.
While the importance of trade and relationship with China cannot be underestimated, our relationship with all the above must also be balanced.

It is not a zero-sum game.
We cannot ignore the rest of the World - and solely cater for China alone.
Nor can we ignore China - and cater solely for the rest of the World.
China is important to Singapore.
The rest of the World is also equally important to Singapore.
We must be friends to all and adversaries to none.
This philossophy since independence must be upheld.
