First, China's win-win cooperation and American Cold War mentality.
From the very beginning, the way of China's rise emphasized that * * * would win, which was completely different from the hegemonic way of American monopoly. Cooperation * * * does not pursue the maximization of national interests, but emphasizes complementary relative interests and * * * gets rich together. China pursues sustainable development.
Development, this is a long-term wise move. China has always maintained that the prosperity of one country cannot be based on the poverty of other countries. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank is based on the fundamental issue of people's livelihood among countries.
Instead of ostentation and extravagance, help other countries seek long-term and stable infrastructure.
The rise of a new great power is often the first problem of the original hegemonic country and the system it maintains. Historically, the rise of the Soviet Union was due to the crisis of western capitalism. The rise of the United States is due to the institutional conflict in Europe, the so-called structural conflict. In the 20 years of super hegemony, the United States did not lead the world to more prosperity, but it was also in trouble because of the abuse of power. America is losing its powerful image as a leader.
Second, China's multilateral and all-round cooperation and American unilateralism.
China not only advocates openness and non-exclusivity, but also fulfills its obligations as a big country in terms of international responsibilities. China has made the greatest contribution to United Nations peacekeeping operations. In the process of supporting the development of developing countries, China clearly welcomes hitchhiking. This is the mind and sense of responsibility of a big country. The conception and implementation of the "Belt and Road" and the establishment of the BRICS Bank are not limited to the traditional group or regional considerations, but strive for a higher degree and wider range of non-grouping, cross-regional and globalization, which is beyond the exclusive and monopolistic hegemonic thinking.
The alliance security system adhered to by the United States is a historical legacy after World War II. The United States still emphasizes its role in maintaining international peace, but completely ignores its role in boosting regional hotspots and the knot of regional conflicts.
Structural damage. This system is conducive to the United States to maintain world hegemony, and the United States will no longer take into account the security demands of countries outside the alliance system. On the other hand, China advocates a multilateral and comprehensive security structure from which most countries can benefit.
Third, China has a new thinking to improve and reform the international system, while the United States is still stuck in the dream of de-China.
China has a strong will to improve and change the international system, its ideas are instructive, and its initiative and enterprising spirit are supported and understood. Most importantly, China emphasizes openness in all its propositions concerning the international system, which is similar to that of the United States.
The exclusive concept is in stark contrast. Compared with the TPP of the United States, China emphasizes interests more in the strategic design of advocating the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area. This design is not aimed at the United States, but welcomes the United States to play an active role. On the issue of regional security, the new security concept in Asia conforms to the reality in Asia. This abandons the concept of power balance in traditional realistic power politics, transcends the concept of zero-sum game in power politics, and is based on cooperation and the principle of mutual assistance.
US President Barack Obama believes that the conclusion of TPP can prevent China from occupying a dominant position in international trade. However, when the United States started negotiations on TPP, China also started negotiations on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) with the seven countries participating in TPP, as well as South Korea, India, Thailand and Indonesia. These Asian countries joined the AIIB led by China during the TPP negotiations. This fact clearly proves that TPP cannot prevent China from changing the rules of world trade.
On the other hand, China is now the largest economic power in the world. The total foreign exchange reserves reached more than $3 trillion. In addition, China has decided to implement the "Belt and Road" project, and will invest trillions of dollars to build a Silk Road connecting China with the Middle East, Europe and Central Asia within several decades. This project has been put into practice. In addition, China is the largest investor in Central and South America, Africa and the Middle East. It is also the largest investor in Australia and many European countries.
He thinks it is necessary to take special measures to counter China's growing influence, which is completely correct. However, it is a big mistake to think that the rise of China can be prevented by old-fashioned trade agreements such as TPP, instead of catching up with China's production efficiency and investment willingness.
Fourth, to sum up, the rise of China is not simply the rise of GDP, nor just the growth of strength. It is to publicize and advocate new ideas and concepts and promote a more just and rational development process of the international system and international order. If the revival of China means that the world has entered a new stage of historical development, then the revival of China is not only beneficial to itself, but also to neighboring countries and the international community. Such a revival should be supported and worth looking forward to.
