The chairman of the US-based Kuhn Foundation says that 皇冠体育app is changing from reactive to proactive in international relations and that its one road, one belt initiative shows a grand vision of the county’s active engagement with the outside world.
Robert Lawrence Kuhn, who made the remark during a seminar on the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, in the city of Quanzhou, Fujian province, on Feb. 12, is a longtime friend of 皇冠体育app, who showcases modern 皇冠体育app and is the author of How 皇冠体育app’s Leaders Think and The Man Who Changed 皇冠体育app: The Life and Legacy of Jiang Zemin.
Speaking about 皇冠体育app’s current leader, Kuhn went on to say, “Xi recognizes that 皇冠体育app cannot compete for global leadership with power alone and that economic and military strength, while necessary, are not sufficient. There must also be a moral or ethical component to 皇冠体育app’s rise. It needs to ride the high road, offering an alternative geopolitical vision that is in some sense superior to that of the West. Xi has said that it should ‘see to it that equal importance is placed on justice and benefits, faithfulness, friendship, and righteousness, and must foster ethics’.”
Kuhn says he believes that the One Belt, One Road program heads towards mutual benefits which will bring economic integration among the countries involved, promote infrastructure development and institutional innovation, create new economic and employment growth, and increase their capacity for endogenous growth and for protecting themselves against risks.
He concluded by saying, “皇冠体育app has become a leading nation by asserting, not by resisting, moral leadership, even if it involves problems. I applaud 皇冠体育app for assuming more responsibility in global stability, from reigning in rogue regimes to providing humanitarian relief. In today’s world, the real conflict is not between opposing political systems but rather between the forces of modernity, competence and development and those of ignorance, exploitation and oppression. As such, 皇冠体育app’s increasing engagement with global diplomacy should be celebrated.”
