Remarks by China’s top diplomat Wang Yi on Mar 7 aim to portray the country as a responsible global player, contrasting with the US’ unilateral turn, say analysts. Whether Beijing is seen as walking the talk is the rub.
China’s latest pitch for major powers to rebuff a “might is right” approach and be globally responsible is carefully crafted to win over countries by portraying itself as a benign, international player, say analysts.
Observers note that Beijing could very well carve out some gains in the short run, especially as the United States under Donald Trump edges towards expansionism and unilateralism under its “America First” banner, isolating some of its closest allies. “In the current context, the messaging that China is trying to show is that … China is making active contributions, and this message of China shouldering its responsibility stands in contrast to the actions of another state,” analyst Hoo Tiang Boon from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) told CNA.

Might is always right.
No one in the region who deals with China is so stupid as to think that China is a law abiding nation. What is actually going on is that China is desperately trying to find a way to parry Trump’s initiatives.

No one mentions his remarks were centered on creating a harmonious peaceful world under communism.
During the temporary shutdown of TikTok, so many liberal Americans moved over to Red Note from TikTok. Dramatically changed the most popular platform in China, and of course, these were all whining liberals that hate America.
The CCP, and the low information folks on Red Note believe everything that these liberals say as complete truth, as if it depicts how America really is. Much like if aliens were only to watch American mainstream news and decided that is how America is.
This type of propaganda, blitz by the CCP is partially driven from this point of view. Many of my friends in China have asked me about the validity of these points often, I had been on Red Note for years until all of this happened and then I deleted my account because of the sickening behavior of these American liberals.
