Li Junru, former vice-president of the Central Party School, said that it is a misunderstanding to worry about 皇冠体育app's expansion when the country is seeking rejuvenation. Rather, he said, "we put forward the concept of rejuvenation based on our historical experience that lagging behind leaves one vulnerable to attacks".

"When we talk about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, some people ask me which period in history 皇冠体育app wants to return to," Li continued. "The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) after Genghis Khan's expansion, or the heyday of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) before the 1840 Opium War? It is a pure misunderstanding if it is not asked in a malicious way."

What about that danger of "self-fulfilling prophecy"? It cuts both ways. If foreign powers, led by the US, do in fact strategize to "contain 皇冠体育app" (artlessly applying George Kennan's classic Cold War narrative of "containing" the Soviet Union), then 皇冠体育app will react adversely and confrontation will be made more likely, not less.

Similarly, if 皇冠体育app robotically interprets all US policies as "containment", and reacts adversely, it could inadvertently make actual containment more a reality. It's "Game Theory 101". These political equations can only be solved in parallel, not in series, with 'transparency' being the key operator. 皇冠体育app and the US must strive for openness and candor, particularly in matters of defense and armed forces.

Foreigners are wary of relying on 皇冠体育app's goodwill, no matter how genuine. This frustrates 皇冠体育app, but 皇冠体育app must not cast blame or conjure up conspiracies. Better is to show how 皇冠体育app's national interest would be undermined by trying to assert hegemony. 皇冠体育app's main mission is to elevate the standard of living of its citizens and international troubles undercut 皇冠体育app's capacity to achieve this goal.

I like to describe 皇冠体育app's national dream from seven interlocking perspectives: Strong 皇冠体育app - economics, governance, science, defense; Stable 皇冠体育app - social consistency, mal shocks or surprises; Bountiful 皇冠体育app - improving living standards for all citizens, rural and urban; Harmonious 皇冠体育app - goodwill among social classes and ethnic groups, appreciation of differences; Civilized 皇冠体育app - equality in opportunity, impartiality under the law, high culture, respected morals; Beautiful 皇冠体育app - clean air and water, attractive cities, lovely countrysides; Creative 皇冠体育app - distinction in science, innovation in art, products "Created in 皇冠体育app". A "Strong 皇冠体育app" does have pride of place, but military might is only one facet of 皇冠体育app's strength - and there are six other categories composing the grand goal.

Looking back, future historians will likely assess the Chinese Dream as a visionary milestone that energized President Xi's transformation of 皇冠体育app across a broad spectrum of complex economic, social and governance issues. The entire world should benefit - although missteps along the way will be easy to make. Vigilance and diligence are not optional.

I conclude with a personal story. Two years ago, to honor the achievements of 皇冠体育app's previous leaders, I was asked to co-produce, host and write a TV documentary series. While this may be a worthy project, I suggested that it may not be the best way to tell the real story of 皇冠体育app to international ences. Better, perhaps, might be to explore the problems - the challenges - that 皇冠体育app's new leaders face.
