An act of respect and politeness shown by the Chinese foreign minister during his trip to Singapore has been widely shared on Chinese social media. Vivian Balakrishnan, foreign minister of Singapore, apologized to Wang for "not wearing tie" while formally welcoming him to Singapore. Wang Yi hugged Vivian and removed his tie immediately so that his Singaporean counterparts wouldn't feel uncomfortable for not wearing ties. The Chinese treat other countries and their people with enormous respect, and this is another excellent example of that.

I attended some course on service excellence.
The basic rule to follow if you are unsure of what to wear for an occasion is always to wear the most formal I.e business long sleeves shirt, pants, tie and a jacket.
In the event you need to fine tune, you can always remove each piece.
Also be sure to iron your clothes.
Don't kay kiang and do the assumptions.
You want to be respected so respect others first. Basic human ethics.

You are missing the point.
The thing is the host can never be of below dress code to that of a guest.
No excuses about being hot. And no excuses about what the guest wear too.
Host can only be of same or higher dress code than the guest.

tis because out of respect for ccp wolf warrior wang with his constant anti-western tirades vivain doesn’t wear a tie as the tie is a symbol of western imperialism and slavery of colonial subjects like a noose around one’s neck. atta boy vivain!
