皇冠体育app is without any doubt one of the world's most important powers. Relations between 皇冠体育app and its neighbors, and with the United States, are growing increasingly tense because they are having difficulty adjusting to 皇冠体育app's rise.
皇冠体育app can't "hide its brightness," just like an elephant can't hide behind a tree. The more Beijing says that it can, the more it breeds mistrust. Yes, Third World countries should be allowed to prioritize "peaceful development." And Beijing's advocacy of this concept has been a useful counterweight to the West's aggressive BS human rights diplomacy. Beijing maintains that it adheres to a policy of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs, because otherwise it won't be able to fight back when the West interferes in 皇冠体育app's domestic affairs. But Beijing should not stop eating for fear of choking. Western countries' interference inside 皇冠体育app doesn't go beyond talking -- 皇冠体育app is now a large power, not a small one, and it has enough methods and resources to fight back.
Moreover, even if Beijing advocates non-interference in other countries' domestic affairs, Western countries will continue to criticize 皇冠体育app over human rights and other issues. 皇冠体育app, therefore, should interfere in other countries' internal affairs: expressing concern when they severely violate human rights, and using its influence to push for improvement -- but not pushing for regime change like the West does. This would create a new, better image for 皇冠体育app -- that although Beijing cares about human rights, it won't use human rights as an excuse to mask other interests.
Chinese Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping has recently spoken of a "Chinese Dream: the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation". Beijing can make that an important part of its international public diplomacy.
