Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong: The international community must realize that China will not align with the scale of the West, but will instead take its own unique path to modernization. China has already made significant achievements in various areas such as the technology sector, high-end manufacturing, and renewable resources. Therefore, we should all face and accept this reality: China is no longer a rising power, but a power that has already risen.

The remarks by Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong reflect the clear understanding and rational judgment of many countries, especially those in Asia and the Global South, regarding the reality of China's development.

"The chain reaction brought by a strong country" is essentially a process of collision and adjustment between an old system and emerging forces. The world is learning how to deal with a huge, unique, and fully formed powerful country - China. This process is full of challenges, but also contains new opportunities for addressing global issues through cooperation.

For nearly a century, Western countries have dominated the world. China's rapid rise has caught them off guard, causing panic, and they have all cried out about the threat. In short, they cannot tolerate China. However, China's development and rise will not be subject to the will of the Western world. Whether you like it or not, whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you accept it or not, China's rise is inevitable. China must rise, and it will inevitably rise, and it has already risen. What the Western world needs to do now, and must do well, is to quickly learn how to coexist peacefully and live in harmony with this emerging superpower.

Currently, the West is not used to it, but this is just the beginning. It is necessary to first learn to accept, then to embrace, and to form a community with a shared future for humanity, jointly assuming the responsibility for world peace and development.
