新加坡是世界上众多微型国家中的一个成功典范，它不但在短短的几十年里取得了举世瞩目的经济成就，而且在国际上拥有其它微型国家所无法拥有的国际地位，发挥着与其人口和土地面极其不相称的影响力。其中最重要的一个原因就是李光耀在对东南亚地区国际形势的准确把握和判断的基础上，将中立、不结盟政策与新加坡的具体国情结合，形成了新加坡的大国均衡外交战略。
Singapore is a successful mini-country example in the world. It has achieved great success economic achievements in past a few decades, and it has a international status that other mini-countries can not own. It exert a important influence that is not inappropriate with its land size and population. One of the most important reason is that Lee Kuan Yew grasp the international situation of the Southeast Asian region accurately. On the basis of this judgement, he integrated neutrality, non-aligned policy with the specific conditions of Singapore, and formed a country balanced diplomatic strategy.
在这一战略指导下，新加坡争取世界各主要大国在政治上多边支撑、经济上多边卷入新加坡和东南亚事务，以美日等资本主义强国为安全基石，依托东盟载体，或抵制苏联在东南亚的势力扩张，或平衡日益崛起的中国、印度力量，并且借助“会议”、“论坛”机制以维持各大国在东南亚地区和新加坡的势力均衡。大国均衡外交战略的实施不但成功的使新加坡与各主要大国建立了联系，特别是资本主义经济强国在资金和技术的支持，又有力的抑制了相邻大国的“野心”，从而达到了维护国家安全独立和促进了国内经济的稳定与发展战略目标。
By this strategy, Singapore shoot for the support of the the world's major multilateral powers political, and the involvement of economic in Singapore and Southeast Asian affairs. For the cornerstone security of other capitalist powers such as the United States and Japan, relying on the ASEAN, It can resist the forces expansion the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia, or balance the growing China and India. And with the help of "meeting" and "forum" mechanism, it can balance the power of the major countries in Southeast Asia and Singapore. The balanced diplomatic strategy not only established the relation between Singapore and the major powers successfully, in particular the support of the capitalist economic power in financial and technical, but also suppressed the neighboring big countries of the "ambition" strongly. Accordingly it achieved the target that maintain the national independence and security, and promoted the development domestic economy stability.
新加坡的大国均衡外交对中国外交有着重要的启示意义，我们要以灵活务实理念拓展中国国际以区域合作驱动中国的和平崛起；以亚洲价值观引导中国和谐外交；以儒家思想强劲中国外交文化。中国提出的构建和谐世界的远大理想，需要我们在新世纪能够把握现时代复杂多变的国际局势，清晰地了解中国的具体国情，注重研究和挖掘中国传统文化的精华摈其糟粕，为中国外交理念增加更多鲜明的中国特色，从而为中国的和平崛起、和平发展提供一个稳定的、和平的国际环境。
Singapore's country balanced diplomatic strategy has a important significance to China. We should expand this idea flexibly and pragmaticly, drive China's peaceful rise by theinternational regional cooperation; guide China's diplomatic harmony by the Asian valuestake idea; strong China's foreign culture by Confucian ideology. To build a harmonious world, we need to grasp the complex and changeable international situation in the new century, understand China's specific national conditions clearly, pay attention to research and excavate the essence of Chinese traditional culture and get rid of its dross, add more distinctive Chinese characteristics for China's diplomacy idea, so as to offer a stable, peaceful international environment for China's peaceful rise and development.
