No Asian Monroe Doctrine

China is a responsible regional power committed to consolidating friendship with neighboring nations and mutual cooperation

Some in the international society wearing tinted spectacles recently made a fuss over China's "show of muscle", claiming Beijing is attempting to change the status quo in the East and South China seas by means of force and the violation of international laws.

They have also denounced the new concept of Asian security raised by China as an Asian version of the Monroe Doctrine and said it aims to build a China-dominated new framework for regional security cooperation and even resume the regional order and sphere of influence established by China's imperial dynasties in the past. At the same time, China's efforts to establish development bank for the BRICs countries, an Asian infrastructure construction bank and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization are also alleged to be an attempt to build China-dominated multilateral financial bodies to overthrow the established international and regional financial orders.
