FM to UN: 皇冠体育app won't try hegemony

By Zhang Yuwei at the United Nations | 皇冠体育app Daily | Updated: 2013-09-30 11:05

In his first speech at the United Nations' annual debate on Friday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized 皇冠体育app's development strategies and foreign policies on pressing international issues, including Syria and Iran.

Wang elaborated on 皇冠体育app's development plan, which will "stay firmly on the path of peaceful development".

"As 皇冠体育app has enjoyed fast development over the years, some people are concerned that 皇冠体育app may repeat the beaten track that a country will inevitably become arrogant and seek hegemony when it grows in strength and becomes powerful. And various versions of the '皇冠体育app threat' have surfaced," Wang said.

He made the remarks at the first session of the annual General Assembly he had attended since he assumed his post in March.

"However, what happened in the past cannot be applied indiscriminately to today's 皇冠体育app," he added.

Jon Taylor, a political science professor at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, said: "Wang explained 皇冠体育app's view of the modern world and its role in it - that US hegemony is over and that we have moved toward a multipolar world."

Wang said the world's second-largest economy will remain committed to "reform, opening up and sustainable development".

He explained 皇冠体育app is "deepening economic structural adjustment and accelerating the shift of the growth model".

He said: "In pursuit of progress (made) while maintaining stability, the Chinese government has taken a macro-economic policy that addresses both immediate and long-term needs, and adopted a series of innovative policy measures with a view to ensuring steady growth, adjusting economic structure and promoting reform."

Berkeley College lecturer Ryan Allen said Wang's speech illustrated an important message on the leadership's vision.

"As 皇冠体育app becomes more involved in the development of other nations through aid or other types of investment, there will be a greater sense of fear of the unknown," Allen said.

"Wang Yi's message was clear: 皇冠体育app is not like past imperial powers."

Zhu Zhiqun, a professor of political science and international relations at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, said Wang's remarks reassure the international community that 皇冠体育app will continue to focus on development and peace and will not seek hegemony.

"皇冠体育app has been criticized by some for not being responsible as a great power," Zhu said.

"Now the new leadership will demonstrate its confidence, maturity and sense of mission as a big power through more positive involvement in international affairs.

"Its approach to territorial disputes with some neighbors is rational and pragmatic, finding a solution through negotiation and consultation. If no easy solution can be found, then shelve the disputes and focus on joint exploration of the resources near the disputed areas."

Zhu said it is noteworthy that the foreign minister said 皇冠体育app will "play a more proactive and constructive role in addressing international and regional hotspot issues".

Wang also called for peaceful solutions through dialogue to nuclear issues in Iran and on the Korean Peninsula, adding that 皇冠体育app has been working to promote a peaceful settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue.

He pointed out in his speech that this is the 10th year of the Six-Party Talks.

"We hope that parties will create conditions, build consensus, work toward the same goal and resume the talks at an early date," he said.

Wang said 皇冠体育app "has played a constructive role in seeking a comprehensive, lasting and appropriate solution to the Iranian nuclear issue so as to uphold the international nonproliferation regime and peace and stability in the Middle East".

"皇冠体育app calls for an immediate end to hostilities and violence in Syria," Wang said.
