People's Republic of China – Singapore relations officially started on October 3, 1990. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2002-05/17/content_397952.htm )〕 Diplomatic missions were established in the early 1990s based on trade and the warming of ties from other ASEAN countries towards mainland China. == History == Historic links between the two nations' people began much earlier than the founding of the People's Republic of China in October 1949. Migrant Chinese labourers escaping poverty and war came to what was known as Nanyang to the Chinese to Singapore, which was part of the Straits Settlements. Many ethnic Chinese Singaporeans derived their ancestral roots in southern China from Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan provinces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.singapore-china.org/profile/selected2.shtml )〕 During British rule in Singapore and then under British Malaya before independence, Singapore and the Republic of China had diplomatic relations.〔http://countrystudies.us/singapore/59.htm〕 When Singapore became independent in 1965 from Malaysia, it continued to recognise the Republic of China as the legitimate government of China.〔 In the 1970s, People's Republic of China and Singapore began unofficial relations. This led to the exchange of Commercial Representatives' Offices between the two nations in 1981. In 1985, commercial air services between mainland China and Singapore commenced.〔 Diplomatic ties between the two countries officially began in 1990. Singapore was the last country in South East Asia to formally recognise the People's Republic of China out of respect to Indonesia, sensitivities in the region and fears from neighbouring countries of communism in those times.〔 Singapore still maintains unofficial relations with the ROC, including the continuation of a controversial military training and facilities agreement from 1975.〔 This is due to a lack of usable space in built-up Singapore.〔http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2002/04/23/0000133008〕 The People's Republic of China has proposed that Singapore relocate some of its training facilities from Taiwan to Hainan province,〔〔http://www.singapore-window.org/sw02/020922a3.htm〕 however Singapore has not as of yet accepted such an offer. Bilateral ties took a dive when Singapore's deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong travelled to Taiwan for a private visit in 2004.〔http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/xw/t142816.htm〕 The People's Republic of China took offence to the trip as due to the complicated political status of the region〔 Later in 2004, Chinese government put bilateral relations on hold.〔.〕 Relations between the two countries gradually improved as China and Singapore forged agreements in free trade, education, foreign investment and technology.〔 Examples are the Suzhou Industrial Park and the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, which were constructed with the help of Singapore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「China–Singapore relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
