This serves as a timely reminder that bilateral ties are part of a wider regional vision.<\/p>\n<p>The vision is already taking shape on the ground. In Singapore&#8217;s Punggol district, autonomous robotaxis developed by WeRide, a Guangzhou-based company, are ferrying residents along three routes that connect shopping malls, housing estates and a polyclinic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are complementing the public transport service to improve connectivity and provide better transportation alternatives for local residents,&#8221; says Kerry Xu, General Manager of WeRide Singapore. The company plans to deploy thousands of robotaxis across Southeast Asia in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Midea, another major company from Guangdong, is providing centralized cooling solutions for Singapore&#8217;s public housing. This approach eliminates the need for bulky outdoor units and helps save energy. &#8220;The market pushes us to keep improving. It&#8217;s a true two-way exchange,&#8221; says Adam Yu, the company&#8217;s regional director for Singapore and Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>The flow goes both ways. Lion TCR, a Singapore-born biotech company, set up operations in the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City and completed a 300-million-yuan Series B financing round through the Guangdong-Singapore Cooperation Council platform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It offers a practical, workable mechanism to help Singaporean companies establish a presence in Guangzhou,&#8221; says Dr. Peng Xiaoming, Lion TCR&#8217;s CEO.<\/p>\n<p>For Tanny Kong, a Singaporean who studied traditional Chinese medicine in Guangzhou for eight years, the connection is personal. &#8220;I&#8217;ve brought many habits from Guangzhou back with me,&#8221; she says. &#8220;When I see Singaporean touches in Guangdong, I suddenly feel a sense of familiarity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Collaboration is like that. You go through good times, you go through bad times, and during good times, let&#8217;s have win-win cooperation. During bad times, let&#8217;s help out each other and try to pull through difficult times. Good times will, if you are patient, if you work together, good times will come again.&#8221; says Ong. With the APEC meeting in Shenzhen on the horizon, this message carries a new resonance for the entire region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 13, 2026 \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; This is a news report from South.
