Summary:
The foreign minister noted that Washington may feel anxious about China’s “rapid development,” but he urged the US to focus on “self-improvement” rather than trying to “block” others from advancing. Wang stressed that as China becomes a larger player on the world stage, it will not attempt to emulate Washington’s behavior. We don't need a world where China becomes another United States. This is neither rational nor feasible. Rather, the United States should try to make itself a better country, and China will surely become its better self.RT‘We don't need a world where China becomes another US’: Beijing names conditions for improving relations with WashingtonSee also"The year 2021 is a year of special importance for China-Russia relations, as both countries will enter a new development
