Brief:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Shifting the world order to a multipolar system is a complex and slow process. The more challenging aspect of this is the West\u2019s inability to admit the multipolar nature of the world and its holding a sense of moral superiority over the entire globe. China has to understand this and act accordingly, by strengthening its position without making the West or India feel threatened or inferior. Understanding the other\u2019s emotions and thoughts helps in understanding one\u2019s own civilization, and greater understanding leads to more patient and comprehensive dealings. It is paramount for China to have diplomatic charm to unify peacefully with Taiwan, to reach a satisfactory status quo in the South China Sea, and to have\u00a0 constructive relations with Japan. Meanwhile, Singapore as well as the rest of ASEAN hope to maintain peaceful relations among regional and global powers, as maintaining neutrality ensures economic prosperity and diffuses the feelings of threat China may have.<\/span><\/p>
