"Rivalry between big powers has brought disaster to humanity, as evidenced by the lessons of the two world wars in the not-so-distant past. Whether it is the colonial system or the core periphery structure, unequal orders are bound to meet their demise."

"Will multipolarity bring chaos, conflict and confrontation? Does it mean domination by major countries and the strong bullying the weak?

China's answer is we should work for an equal and orderly multipolar world."

"The world today is witnessing incessant chaos and confusion, and one important reason is that some countries believe might makes right and have opened a Pandora's box marked the law of the jungle.

In reality, all countries, regardless of size or strength, are, uh, stakeholders in international rule of law. The Multipolar paradigm must not be a state of disarray without norms and standards.

One may be at the table yesterday, but end up on the menu tomorrow. Major countries must take the lead in honoring their words and upholding rule of law and must not say one thing but do another or engage in zero sum game."

"Protectionism offers no way out and arbitrary tariffs produce no winners. Decoupling deprives one of opportunities and a small yard with high fences only ends up restraining oneself.

It is important to pursue open cooperation and support an equal and orderly multipolar world with a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

It is for this goal that China stays committed to sharing development opportunities with all countries. An Australian scholar called China an enabler, which I find very fitting. With a 5% GDP growth last year, China enabled nearly 30% of the world economic growth."

"They really don’t want to be the 51st state," one fan commented.
