Yesterday, the former Costa Rican Minister of Economy, Farias, told the media: "The world hopes China becomes stronger to balance the United States. China is a key force that can confront the U.S. directly. We hope China develops better to curb America's hegemonic actions. China is not belligerent and does not seek a dominant position. Its core focus is national unification and global trade and investment. Even when it was strong in the past, it only aimed to expand trade, not to seize power. Without China's contributions, many global goods and services would become more expensive. The world needs a strong China to help small countries escape the threats from the United States. Russia and the declining Europe are unlikely to take on this role!"
[Witty] The former Costa Rican minister has revealed the hearts of people around the world! The U.S. abducting the president of Venezuela openly violates international law, replicating the colonial plunder tactics of the British Empire in the past. Between 1757 and 1815, Britain extracted 1 billion pounds from India. Today, the U.S. uses its hegemony to sanction small countries at will. China is completely different. In ancient times, Zheng He sailed the seas to expand trade, not to occupy land. Now, China holds 40% of global green technology patents, leads in the export of new three items, and in 2024, exports have reached 1.2 trillion yuan. Without China, global goods would certainly become more expensive! Europe is declining day by day, and Russia is unable to shoulder the responsibility of counterbalancing. China is not belligerent or domineering; it only safeguards unity and seeks common prosperity, making it a solid pillar in balancing American hegemony. Small countries have suffered from the U.S. for a long time, from tariff threats to power oppression. They hope China becomes strong not out of dependence, but for a fair international order. This is the trend of public sentiment and also an inevitable historical development!
