Beyond the US-China Rivalry: Singapore, AI and the Architecture of a Multipolar World

The World After Primacy: Singapore, China, America, AI and the Architecture of a Multipolar Age

How Singapore’s Strategic Experience Helps Explain the US-China Rivalry, AI Competition and the New Geometry of Global Power

The world is not moving neatly from an American century into a Chinese century. It is becoming more complicated than that.

The two conversations on The Mishal Husain Show with former Singapore diplomat Kishore Mahbubani and former Foreign Minister George Yeo offer a useful way to understand this transition. Their argument is not simply that China is rising or that the United States is declining. It is that the structure of international power itself is changing. The result is a world that is more multipolar, more civilizationally diverse and more dependent on multilateral cooperation at precisely the moment when geopolitical trust is weakening (Bloomberg Podcasts, 2026a, 2026b).

Singapore provides an unusually valuable vantage point from which to examine this shift. It is small in territory but globally connected, Asian in geography but deeply integrated with Western financial and security systems, economically intertwined with China while maintaining extensive relations with the United States, and highly dependent on open trade, functioning institutions and international law. Singapore therefore has little room for ideological simplification. Its survival has always depended on understanding power as it is, while preserving as much strategic autonomy as possible.

That makes the Singapore perspective particularly relevant in 2026.

The emerging international system is best understood not as a simple bipolar contest between Washington and Beijing, but as asymmetric multipolarity. China has become a manufacturing, trade and technological superpower. The United States still retains stronger positions in nominal GDP, military expenditure, global finance, reserve currency networks and many high-end technology ecosystems. India is becoming more consequential. Middle powers are gaining room to manoeuvre. Regional institutions are becoming more important. Artificial intelligence is introducing a new strategic layer that may ultimately matter as much as conventional geopolitics.

The central question is no longer simply who is number one. The more useful question is who controls which network, and how states manage the dependencies that follow.

Singapore’s own history explains why this matters. At independence in 1965, the city-state had little natural resource wealth, limited defence capabilities, high unemployment and no guaranteed economic hinterland. Yet within a single human lifetime it became one of the world’s richest economies and a major centre for finance, logistics, advanced manufacturing and foreign exchange. Singapore’s transformation was not built on isolation. It was built on openness, institutional competence, strategic adaptability and the ability to work simultaneously with competing powers.

That experience shaped a foreign policy that is often mischaracterised as neutrality. Singapore does not simply sit between the United States and China waiting to see which side prevails. Its approach is closer to strategic diversification. It maintains strong defence and economic links with the United States, deep commercial ties with China, extensive commitments within ASEAN, and relationships with Europe, Japan, India and other major economies. The aim is not perfect equidistance. It is maximum room for manoeuvre.

In investment language, this resembles portfolio construction. Concentration creates vulnerability. Diversification creates optionality. Small states face the same logic.

This is where Mahbubani’s description of a “three M” world becomes useful. The first M is multipolarity. The second is a multi-civilizational international order. The third is multilateralism.

Each describes a different part of the transition.

Multipolarity concerns material power. The United States is no longer able to organise the international system with the same degree of uncontested authority it enjoyed after the Cold War, but China has not replaced it as a universal hegemon. Instead, power is spreading across domains. The United States remains central to global finance. China is central to manufacturing and merchandise trade. Europe retains major regulatory and consumer-market power. India combines demographic scale, services strength and geopolitical importance. Gulf states possess major energy and financial influence. Countries such as Singapore derive leverage from occupying critical nodes in trade, capital and logistics networks.

This means global power is becoming increasingly domain-specific.

The data reinforce that conclusion. World Bank figures show that the United States remains substantially larger than China in nominal GDP, while US GDP per capita remains many times higher. Yet China has become deeply embedded in global production networks, and IMF research shows its growing centrality in world trade even as the United States retains exceptional importance in global finance (International Monetary Fund [IMF], 2025). The US dollar still accounted for 57.13 percent of disclosed foreign exchange reserves in the first quarter of 2026, while it appeared on one side of 89.2 percent of global foreign exchange transactions in April 2025 (Bank for International Settlements [BIS], 2025; IMF, 2026).

Military power remains similarly asymmetric. SIPRI estimated US military expenditure at about US$954 billion in 2025, compared with roughly US$336 billion for China (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute [SIPRI], 2026). China is therefore extraordinarily powerful, but simple claims of full parity with the United States obscure important differences.

A better description is layered power.

China may dominate one network while remaining dependent on another. The United States may possess extraordinary financial influence while depending on Asian manufacturing ecosystems. Taiwan remains crucial to leading-edge semiconductor production. Gulf states remain pivotal to hydrocarbon flows. Singapore matters because trade, capital and logistics pass through it.

This is why the idea that China can no longer be “stopped” needs careful interpretation. Mahbubani’s deeper point is persuasive if “stopping China” means preventing a country of roughly 1.4 billion people from improving productivity, living standards and technological capability. China’s economic rise has already transformed the world. The World Bank estimates that nearly 800 million people in China moved above its former international extreme-poverty threshold over roughly four decades, an achievement of extraordinary historical scale (World Bank, 2022).

But China’s future is not predetermined.

Its demographic outlook is a major constraint. The United Nations now classifies China among countries whose populations have already peaked, while an IMF working paper published in 2026 projects a sharply contracting workforce and finds that population ageing could materially reduce future growth (Bonthuis et al., 2026; United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs [UN DESA], 2024). China has scale, but it no longer has demographic momentum.

That distinction matters because the US-China rivalry is frequently described in overly deterministic terms. Neither American decline nor Chinese dominance is inevitable.

The rivalry itself is structural. Strategic competition has persisted across changes of US administration, particularly in semiconductors, export controls, industrial policy, Taiwan, supply chains and advanced technology. Yet calling the entire relationship zero-sum is also too simplistic. Some areas of competition are clearly relative and strategic. Territorial control, military advantage and certain security technologies cannot always be shared. But trade, climate stability, pandemic prevention, financial stability and AI risk management can create positive-sum outcomes.

The events of September 2026 illustrate this mixed reality. Following President Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington, the United States and China extended their trade truce without resolving core disputes. At the same time, both sides agreed to pursue further dialogue on artificial intelligence risks and communications mechanisms. Competition and cooperation are therefore occurring simultaneously.

This may become the defining model of twenty-first century great-power relations: compete where interests conflict, transact where interests overlap, deter where risks become intolerable, and cooperate where mutual vulnerability cannot be ignored.

That logic is particularly important in artificial intelligence.

George Yeo argues that AI may ultimately prove more consequential than many conventional geopolitical disputes because it represents a qualitative leap in human capability. That assessment deserves serious attention. AI is not simply another industrial sector. It is a general-purpose technology capable of affecting software, finance, medicine, education, logistics, defence, intelligence, cybersecurity, scientific research and state administration.

The paradox is immediate. AI creates powerful incentives for national competition because leadership can confer commercial and military advantage. Yet the most dangerous AI risks may require international cooperation precisely because they can cross borders.

The governance response is beginning to take shape. The United Nations’ Global Digital Compact calls for responsible and human-centred AI governance. ASEAN has developed regional guidance on AI governance and ethics. Singapore has issued a Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI that emphasises human accountability, bounded autonomy and governance checkpoints (ASEAN Secretariat, 2024; Infocomm Media Development Authority [IMDA], 2026; United Nations, 2024).

This is not yet a mature global regime. But it suggests that AI may eventually develop governance mechanisms analogous to other fields where competitors communicate because the costs of unmanaged escalation are too high.

One does not need trust to establish guardrails. Sometimes distrust is the reason guardrails become necessary.

Mahbubani’s second “M”, the multi-civilizational world, is equally important but requires nuance. He and Yeo argue that the return of China, India, Islam and other historic civilizational centres is reshaping international politics after roughly two centuries of Western predominance.

The broad direction is clear. Asian economies represent a larger share of global output than they did several decades ago, and Western governments can no longer assume that their preferred institutional or political models will automatically define global norms.

Yet civilizational analysis must not become determinism. China is not governed today simply because of what imperial dynasties did centuries ago. Iran cannot be explained solely through Persian history. India is not reducible to civilizational identity. Societies change through institutions, political leadership, technology, class structures and external shocks.

History shapes strategic culture. It does not imprison states inside fixed identities.

The same caution applies to human-rights debates. China’s economic achievements are real, but economic development and political liberty are different measures. Mahbubani points to large numbers of Chinese travelling abroad and returning as evidence against depictions of China as a closed society. That observation is relevant to mobility and revealed preference, but it does not resolve questions about political rights.

Xinjiang demonstrates why evidence must remain central. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded in 2022 that serious human-rights violations had occurred against Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim communities and that the scale of arbitrary and discriminatory detention may constitute international crimes, particularly crimes against humanity. China rejects those findings and describes its policies as counter-terrorism and anti-extremism measures (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights [OHCHR], 2022).

The appropriate analytical standard is therefore neither automatic Western validation nor automatic dismissal of Western criticism. It is evidence.

The same principle applies to Ukraine.

Mahbubani is correct that scholars and policymakers had warned for years that NATO enlargement could provoke severe Russian resistance. NATO’s 2008 Bucharest Summit declared that Ukraine and Georgia would eventually become members. John Mearsheimer and others argued that Western strategy risked producing a Russian backlash (Mearsheimer, 2014; North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO], 2008).

But explanation is not justification.

Ukraine had sovereign agency. Russia made the decision to launch its large-scale invasion in February 2022. The United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution describing the invasion as aggression against Ukraine, and the International Court of Justice ordered Russia to suspend the military operations it had commenced (International Court of Justice, 2022; United Nations General Assembly, 2022).

A serious account must therefore hold several ideas at once: Russia had security perceptions; Western governments had been warned about them; Ukraine had the right to make sovereign choices; NATO had its own open-door policy; and Russia ultimately chose military invasion.

Understanding another state’s red lines is essential. Treating those red lines as automatically overriding the sovereignty of smaller states is something else entirely.

This distinction matters profoundly for Singapore. A small state cannot logically defend the sanctity of its own sovereignty while accepting a world in which great powers automatically receive vetoes over the political choices of their neighbours.

The stronger version of the red-line argument is therefore descriptive. Policymakers must understand what rivals consider existential because miscalculation can produce catastrophe. Understanding is not the same as endorsement.

Iran raises similar questions about the limits of military power. The 2026 conflict has disrupted energy infrastructure, shipping and the Strait of Hormuz, with consequences far beyond the battlefield. Yeo’s broader argument is that military superiority does not guarantee political control, especially when dealing with a large state possessing strategic depth, institutional continuity and a strong national identity.

Mahbubani goes further by arguing that prolonged American involvement in Middle Eastern wars can become a strategic benefit to China because US resources and political attention are diverted away from the Indo-Pacific. There is logic to the opportunity-cost argument, but it should not be exaggerated. Middle Eastern instability also hurts China through energy prices, shipping disruption and weaker global demand.

Again, relative gains and absolute losses can coexist.

ASEAN offers a more constructive lesson. Mahbubani argues that Southeast Asia’s relative peace owes much to repeated diplomacy, institutional familiarity and the habit of leaders meeting regularly. Academic research is more cautious, noting ASEAN’s limited enforcement power and the conditional nature of its security effects. Yet that does not make ASEAN irrelevant.

Its achievement is not that it eliminated strategic rivalry. It institutionalised ways of managing it.

ASEAN is therefore best understood as a regional shock absorber. It cannot prevent every dispute, but it raises the diplomatic cost of rupture by creating habits of consultation, personal relationships and a shared institutional vocabulary.

That function becomes more valuable in a multipolar world, not less.

The same logic explains why multilateralism may become more necessary even as existing institutions weaken. Artificial intelligence, climate change, financial contagion, pandemics, cybersecurity, nuclear risks and shipping cannot be managed effectively within national borders alone. The more interconnected the global system becomes, the less plausible absolute sovereignty becomes in practice.

This creates the central paradox of the emerging order. States are demanding greater strategic autonomy at the same time as technology and economics are making them more mutually dependent.

Globalisation is therefore not simply ending. It is being rewired.

Companies are diversifying production. Governments are subsidising strategic industries. Supply chains are being redesigned around resilience rather than pure efficiency. Advanced semiconductors, critical minerals, energy infrastructure, data centres and AI compute are increasingly treated as national-security assets.

Yet the world remains deeply interconnected.

The emerging system is one of selective interdependence.

Countries will try to reduce vulnerability where the security stakes are high while preserving commerce where the costs of separation are prohibitive.

For investors, asset allocators and business leaders, this has major consequences. Geopolitical risk is no longer an occasional shock external to markets. It is increasingly embedded inside supply chains, industrial policy, capital flows, technology standards, energy security and corporate strategy.

The key analytical question is therefore not whether Asia replaces the West, or whether China defeats America.

It is where the bottlenecks are, which networks are indispensable, where governments are willing to absorb inefficiency for resilience, and which jurisdictions can preserve strategic optionality.

Singapore is unusually well positioned in this environment, but it also faces serious domestic constraints.

The same openness that made Singapore prosperous can create pressure around inequality, housing, migration, social mobility and identity. Yeo’s warning about the tension between globally connected elites and the domestic population speaks to a broader problem faced by many global cities: openness remains politically sustainable only when citizens believe they continue to share meaningfully in its benefits.

Mahbubani identifies demography as another major challenge. Singapore’s resident total fertility rate fell to 0.87 in 2025, far below replacement level. Low fertility affects not only population size but future workforce growth, healthcare demand, taxation, military manpower and the balance between citizens and non-residents.

Singapore therefore faces a structural tension. Demographic sustainability increases the need for immigration and foreign talent, while too much social dislocation can weaken public support for openness.

Managing that tension may be one of the defining domestic challenges of the next generation.

This is why Singapore’s experience matters beyond Singapore.

Its history shows that small states do not survive by pretending great-power politics does not exist. They survive by remaining adaptive, credible, connected and difficult to marginalise.

Singapore combined realism with rules, markets with state capacity, national defence with diplomacy, global talent with domestic institution-building, and international openness with a strong sense of sovereignty.

That may be the most important lesson of the emerging multipolar age.

The world is not moving from one uncontested hegemon to another. It is moving toward a more fragmented but still deeply interconnected structure of asymmetric multipolarity, selective interdependence and networked power.

The United States remains formidable.

China is already indispensable.

India is rising.

Middle powers matter more.

ASEAN remains imperfect but useful.

AI is becoming a strategic domain of its own.

And international institutions will remain necessary precisely because national interests are diverging.

The decisive competition of the coming decades may therefore be less about who achieves absolute dominance and more about who builds the most resilient society, the most adaptable institutions and the widest strategic room to manoeuvre.

For Singapore, that is not a new challenge.

It is the continuation of the problem it has been solving since 1965.

In a world after primacy, adaptability may be the most valuable form of power.

From American Primacy to Multipolar Power: What Singapore Can Teach Us About China, AI and the New Global Order

If you are considering Singapore real estate as part of a broader wealth, relocation, education or family-office strategy, I believe property decisions should be made with more than property knowledge alone.

I am Zion Zhao, 赵峻慷, a Singapore real estate salesperson with experience spanning macroeconomics, global affairs, asset allocation, portfolio construction, equities and cryptocurrency markets, alongside familiarity with Singapore land and business law. I also serve as an Officer Commanding in the Singapore Armed Forces at the rank of Captain.

I dedicate hours each day to research, due diligence and writing in-depth analyses on subjects including the evolving multipolar world, US-China relations, AI, ASEAN, capital markets and global economic conditions. This broader perspective helps me evaluate how interest rates, liquidity, policy, demographics, capital flows and geopolitical developments may affect Singapore property.

For Family Offices, 13O/13U structures, GIP participants, VCCs, UHNW families, institutional investors, international buyers, 陪读家长 and overseas students, I welcome a conversation about integrating Singapore real estate into a diversified portfolio. Property can provide comparatively lower volatility, tangible asset exposure, rental income and long-term capital appreciation potential, although returns are never guaranteed.

美国霸权之后，世界会变成什么？新加坡正在给出答案

霸权之后的世界：新加坡、中国、美国、人工智能与多极时代的国际秩序架构

世界并不是简单地从“美国世纪”迈向“中国世纪”。真正发生的，是一个更加复杂、更加碎片化，却同时更加相互依存的国际体系正在形成。

理解这一新秩序，一个更准确的概念是非对称多极化（Asymmetric Multipolarity）。中国已经成为全球制造业、贸易和科技领域的超级大国，而美国仍然在名义国内生产总值、军事开支、全球金融、储备货币体系以及多个高端科技生态中拥有显著优势。与此同时，印度的重要性持续上升，中等强国获得更大的战略自主空间，区域性国际组织的作用也日益增强（BIS, 2025; IMF, 2025, 2026; SIPRI, 2026）。

新加坡为观察这一变化提供了一个极具代表性的视角。

新加坡的繁荣长期建立在开放经济、国际法、全球资本流动、国际贸易和战略适应能力之上。因此，新加坡的外交政策并不能简单理解为“中立”。更准确地说，它采取的是战略多元化（Strategic Diversification）。新加坡与美国维持深厚的安全和经济关系，与中国保持紧密的商业联系，同时积极参与东盟（ASEAN）和其他国际机制。其目标并不是在大国之间保持机械式的等距离，而是尽可能扩大自身的战略选择空间（Strategic Optionality）。

马凯硕（Kishore Mahbubani）提出的“多极化、多文明化、多边主义”，很好地概括了全球秩序正在发生的变化。

然而，多极化并不意味着美国正在消失，也不意味着中国必然取得全球主导地位。中国的发展成就极为显著，包括数亿人口摆脱极端贫困，但人口老龄化、劳动力收缩等结构性问题，正在对其长期增长构成越来越明显的约束（World Bank, 2022; UN DESA, 2024）。

中美竞争已经具有明显的结构性，尤其集中在半导体、产业政策、台湾、供应链和先进科技领域。

但是，中美关系并非完全属于零和博弈（Zero-Sum Game）。

贸易、金融稳定、气候治理以及人工智能监管等领域，依然存在双方合作能够创造共同利益的空间。

人工智能可能最终比许多传统地缘政治争议更加重要。

AI是一项通用目的技术（General-Purpose Technology），有能力同时改变国防、金融、医疗、物流、网络安全、教育以及政府行政管理。这里存在一个非常明显的战略悖论：各国正在竞相争夺技术优势，却同时面对任何单一国家都无法独自管理的跨境风险。

联合国、东盟以及新加坡相继推出的人工智能治理框架，已经显示出国际社会正在形成更加协调的风险治理思路（ASEAN Secretariat, 2024; IMDA, 2026; United Nations, 2024）。

分析乌克兰和伊朗，同样需要在现实主义与原则之间保持平衡。

理解大国所谓的“战略红线”对于避免误判十分重要，但解释不能等同于合理化。

俄罗斯确实拥有自身的安全关切，但乌克兰同样具有国家主权和战略自主权，而俄罗斯最终选择发动军事入侵。

同样，在伊朗问题上，军事优势并不会自动转化为政治控制。战略纵深、国家认同、社会韧性和制度持续性，同样会决定战争的最终结果。

东盟则提供了另一种经验。

东盟并没有消除成员国之间的利益分歧和战略竞争，但它通过制度化的磋商、持续互动和领导人之间长期建立的关系，大幅提高了外交关系彻底破裂的成本。

从这个意义上说，东盟可以被视为一种区域战略减震器（Regional Strategic Shock Absorber）。

对于投资者、资产配置者、企业领袖和政策制定者而言，这些变化具有深远影响。

全球化并没有结束，而是在重新布线。

未来更可能出现的是一种选择性相互依赖（Selective Interdependence）。

全球供应链正在围绕韧性而重新设计。各国政府正在重新补贴战略产业。半导体、能源、关键矿产、数据中心以及人工智能算力，正在从普通商业资产转变为国家安全资产。

因此，地缘政治风险已经不再只是市场外围偶尔出现的冲击。

它正在直接嵌入供应链、产业政策、资本流动、能源安全、科技竞争和企业战略之中。

对新加坡而言，这场转型同时带来外部与内部挑战。

新加坡必须继续保持开放，同时处理超低生育率、移民、财富差距、住房压力和社会凝聚力等问题。

最终，未来几十年的国际竞争可能并不取决于谁能够获得绝对霸权。

真正具有决定性的，也许是谁能够建立最具韧性的制度、最大的战略选择空间，以及最强的适应能力。

对于新加坡而言，这并不是一个新的课题。

从1965年独立至今，这一直是新加坡国家发展的核心命题。

在一个“霸权之后”的世界里，真正最有价值的权力，或许正是适应变化的能力。
