President Xi Jinping vowed on Monday that China would always uphold world peace and international rules, amid concerns expressed by the United States and other countries over its increasing assertiveness globally.

The comments come after Taiwan said this month that military tension with China was at its worst in more than 40 years, amid mounting worries that the giant neighbour might try to take back by military force the self-ruled island it claims as its own.


In a speech marking the 50th anniversary of China's return to the United Nations, Xi said it would always be the "builder of world peace" and a "protector of international order", state news agency Xinhua reported.

"China resolutely opposes all forms of hegemony and power politics, unilateralism and protectionism," Xi said, calling for greater global cooperation on issues such as regional conflicts, terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and biosecurity.

Xi urged all countries to promote the values of peace, development, justice, democracy, freedom, making use of a phrase the "common values of all mankind" that he coined and first mentioned in a July speech for the 100th anniversary of the ruling Chinese Communist Party.

That is, indeed, his definition - "let us do just what we want and there will be no problems"

That is the American definition of peace.

"China resolutely opposes all forms of hegemony and power politics, unilateralism and protectionism," Xi said, calling for greater global cooperation on issues such as regional conflicts, terrorism, climate change, cybersecurity and biosecurity.

Area man literally holding Hong Kong's economy hostage on top of everything else he's done to it has thoughts on hegemony, power politics, unilateralism, and protectionism.

[OSR stands with Israel]

The entire western world should start a massive trade war against China and by that mean imposing 100% tariffs on goods imported from China, ban all Western Based Tech companies from doing business in China and impose massive sanctions as well.

[SnowLabrador]

I trust China more than I trust the US to uphold world peace. When you're not beholden to capitalism, you're a lot less likely to invade other countries. Plus they stopped COVID in their country, so that counts for something.

[CumbrianLefty]

NEWSFLASH: China is, to all intents and purposes, a capitalist country.

You just described the last 70 years of American history.

We never did what you're describing, and American companies never had such a massive foothold as they do now. And the USSR never threatened to overtake America like China is now. In fact, has already done.

That’s why we need a fill out trade war against China so we can force nearly every American company to leave China .

I’d favor getting us back into the TPP , getting LAFTA passed , and doing trade deals with India and other large individual markets .

That’s like claiming that foxes will protect your chickens.

Do you really think he cares? It’s all about upholding his “anti-communist” identity more than sound policy.

[Joseph Cao]

Awful take.

When you're not beholden to capitalism,

They are. They very much are.

you're a lot less likely to invade other countries.

China does plenty of invading, bumping up against diplomatic lines, inflaming tensions, and generally being very belligerent, they just haven't launched a full-scale military invasion anywhere. Yet.

Plus they stopped COVID in their country, so that counts for something.

Presented without comment.

And the assertion that China "stopped COVID" at any point is founded in extremely flawed data that nobody credible now believes.

NEWSFLASH: China is, to all intents and purposes, a capitalist country.

where you can't own the land, the govt controls all the banks and most of the major industries.  Multiple layers of corruption and a one party political environment (I wont even mention the name of the political party, too easy).

It might be a type of capitalism, but it's not one any, ya know, actual capitalist would ever want to live or do business in if it didn't have a billion consumers or because they wanted to exploit the corruption/one party politics to get away things they couldn't get away with in modern liberal democracies.

You are aware that Ronald Reagan campaigned for President in 1980 on lifting the embargo on selling grain to the USSR that Jimmy Carter had imposed, right? Because Reagan thought that the pain to our farmers having that giant market closed was way more important than the ideological point?

It's hilarious to me how Republicans don't seem to know the first thing about what their heroes actually believed and did.
