Need to avoid military conflicts
IN AN article titled ‘How China can defeat America,’ written by Yan Xuetong and published in the International Herald Tribune on Nov 21, 2011, the author gave a summarized view of the power shifts currently taking place in the world and how they are expected to affect the polarity of the world.
Countries should not underestimate the importance of morality in international relations, said the author, adding politicians should not be concerned only with economic and military might as morality can play a key role in shaping international competition between political powers.The author also stressed on China’s need to make more friends, create a desirable model at home to inspire people abroad and establish a more harmonious society free of gaps between the rich and the poor to ensure social justice. China no doubt has a vital role to play now during the greatest economical depression recorded in history.
It can support and guide in matters related to economic aid and play distinguished roles at different levels.In this current race for global supremacy, the USA, which has a long list of friends and military allies, had started strongly after the World War II and remains the world’s pre-eminent hegemonic power, as the author rightly mentioned.
However, for the sake of global peace and security, both USA and China need to consider more cooperation in all fields, including economy, education, technology and policy.
The two major members in the Security Council should always remember the global responsibility of security and peace-keeping and should avoid all sorts of military challenges or conflicts -directly or indirectly - to save Earth from man-made catastrophes in the 21st century.
