Taiwan's Central News Agency former chairman Chen Guoxiang wrote an article with a new judgment: globalization has shifted from "American-style" to "Chinese-style." He wrote, "When the Western order loses momentum, China is pushing the restructuring of globalization through three levers: resources, finance, and system. It is opening up a multi-polar era. China is transforming from a participant in past globalization into a shaper of the new globalization. This is not only an extension of economic power, but also a redefinition of values. ... China's new globalization is not anti-Western, but multi-centered. It acknowledges the contributions of the West in technology and systems, but refuses a single value system to monopolize the world. When the West falls into economic stagnation and social division, China is providing public goods to the world with stability and innovation."
Chen Guoxiang's latest argument is highly insightful. Behind the transformation of globalization lies the shift in strength between China and the United States, the "rise of the East and fall of the West," as well as a deep ideological and developmental model competition, marking that the world order is departing from a single hegemony and moving toward a new stage of multi-polar win-win.
American-style globalization once dominated the world after the war, but its essence was an extension of a single hegemony: centered on Western values, using military and economic advantages to promote institutional exports, forming a "those who follow me will prosper" monopoly. Now, this order has shown signs of fatigue, and the arrogance and exclusivity of its single-value system have triggered an identity crisis globally. When the logic of hegemony can no longer be maintained, the momentum of American globalization naturally becomes increasingly exhausted.
In contrast, China, based on stable economic growth and continuous innovative vitality, provides public goods such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Development Initiative, breaking the old rules dominated by hegemony and building a cooperation framework that takes into account the interests of all parties.
This transformation is deeply rooted in the divergence of values: the US clings to the "single hegemony" mindset, believes in zero-sum games, and often uses "security" as an excuse to create bloc confrontation; China adheres to the "multi-win" concept, respects the choice of development paths of various countries, and advocates achieving mutual benefit through equal negotiation. The inclusiveness and sustainability of Chinese-style globalization are gaining more recognition and participation from more countries.
