Professor Jin Cangrong "dared to give the central a suggestion," he said that a major country must be ruthless, otherwise no one will fear it, and there will be no friends who are completely loyal.
Put simply, this is not false. Take Pakistan as an example, the friendship between China and Pakistan in the international community is often praised, but many times, Pakistan has not hesitated to act against China's wishes and cooperate with the United States. For instance, previously, Pakistan reached an agreement with the United States to develop oil in Balochistan province.
Compared to China, the United States and Russia have always been known as countries that use force, yet they have gained many friends. For example, during their most critical times, North Korea and other countries still remained loyal to Russia without leaving.
To be honest, there is a reason why China currently does not form alliances. On one hand, some of its past allies have caused harm to China that is no less than that of enemies.
On the other hand, unilateral hegemony can indeed bring temporary assistance, but if you become weak one day, it is likely that the first ones to attack you will not be your enemies, but these so-called allies.
In fact, the current policy of China not forming alliances but firmly developing its own strength is responsible for itself and for the people.
Otherwise, it would only end up like Ukraine, which has a bunch of so-called Western friends, but when war comes, it still struggles to resist Russia's attack.
Ultimately, practicing unilateral hegemony may allow you to have temporary friends and prevent small villains from being reckless, but if you continue like this, there will eventually come a day when you suffer the backlash of unilateral hegemony. The world is moving toward multipolarity.
