With the mounting up US sanctions, trade wars, and "friend-shoring", China will have less and less interest in western investments.

Ease of capital flow is one reason why Singapore has done so well (among many reasons). You can turn Singapore dollars into whatever currency you want, in whatever quantities and move it out of the country with no barriers at all.
Plus the rule of law, which means the government is predictable in its decision making. Singapore isn't going to turn around and nationalize a bunch of foreign industries any time soon, because they realize the second they do, all that foreign capital is going to disappear very quickly.
For example because your production capacity in China will produce your stuff for cheap and you will be able to sell this stuff with a good markup? You will not be able to easily sell the production capacity and move the resulting capital outside of China as you would in the US or EU, but as long as it operates it will generate you profit.
