Significance

Singapore has close political and economic ties with both Taiwan and China, despite its 'One China' policy. It also has a strong partnership with the United States, which views China as its main strategic rival.

Impacts

Taiwan will be a major source of tension between Beijing and Washington in 2022.
Taiwan's government will steer well clear of Beijing's obvious 'red lines'.
China will sustain its 'zero-COVID' policy while other countries in the region, including Singapore, try to 'live with' the disease.
