Features: Singapore, once a British colony. After gaining independence, it became a pioneer in modernization among Asian countries. Today, it has become a developed nation in the East: economically prosperous, politically stable, socially civilized, nationally harmonious, and with a wealthy population. It is known as the "Garden City Nation" and the "Big Country in a Small Nation." This book reviews the journey and current state of this small island nation's "takeoff."
Although Singapore is a small island nation in Southeast Asia, it is known to the world as the "Big Country in a Small Nation." It has the world's busiest port, the world's second-largest offshore drilling platform production base, the third-largest refining center, and the largest hard disk manufacturer. It is also the second-largest financial center in Asia and the Silicon Valley of Southeast Asia. Its per capita GDP ranks third in the world, and its per capita income ranks ninth globally, placing it among the ranks of developed countries.
Singapore not only values material civilization but also emphasizes the construction of political and spiritual civilization, making it one of the pioneers in modernization among Asian countries. Its successful experience will provide us with valuable insights. The author of this book has long been engaged in the study of Singapore. In this book, he introduces Singapore's journey from poverty and weakness to prosperity with detailed information and rich content, vividly depicting the full picture of contemporary Singapore.
Target Audience: Civil servants with intermediate or higher education levels, foreign affairs and foreign trade workers, tourism personnel, and scholars studying Southeast Asia.
