New world order must be based on cooperation

The world order is facing increasing challenges because of the change in the balance of power and rising anti-globalization. What sort of world order should China pursue to facilitate its own long-term development, global stability and shared interests?

For a long time, the world ignored the growing influence of a rising China, as the existing order is based on the leadership of Western countries and participation of other countries. But China, the largest emerging economy, has had a big impact on the world order. Therefore, despite being committed to peaceful rise, China will not seek a future world order similar to the current one, so as to avoid its interests being given short shift again.

To help establish a new world order, China should make continuous efforts and adjustments by interacting with other countries on various issues and in different fields. In this process, it is likely that conflicts but not a large-scale war will occur. So China should make full use of its advantages to make its development more effective and ensure it adheres to a peaceful development path.
