China Will Not Dominate the World

China will not dominate the world and we do not think the world should be dominated by any country, ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated.

Washington shares a complex relationship with Beijing, which the American envoy to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield has labeled a strategic adversary. While each country is a major trade partner with the other, the two are locked in a geopolitical rivalry spanning the military, technological, economic, and diplomatic domains.

The diplomat framed the countries’ relationship as a contest of fundamental ideologies, but he pointed to a key difference between this “battle of ideas” and that of the Cold War.

While former U.S. archrival the Soviet Union drew its strength from a powerful military and nuclear arsenal, its economy could never compete with the U.S. However, China’s economy is very strong. We’re dealing with an adversary, a competitor in China stronger than the Soviet Union was in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.”

Concerns of over flashpoints in the Asia-Pacific region such as the spike in Chinese military activity in the Taiwan Strait. That’s very intimidating, meant to intimidate.

China considers Taiwan a rogue province and has vowed to someday annex it by any means necessary, despite the fact the Chinese Communist Party government in Beijing has never ruled there.

Mao stated that China “has no intention to replace or challenge any country. Mao further stated that China’s vision for a global order is based on equality and shared prosperity. China will not dominate the world, and we do not think the world should be dominated by any country,” she asserted.
