Xinjiang scholar Qidongtao recently wrote: "Although the United States still holds the top position in national strength, its advantage is constantly shrinking compared to China, which is rapidly catching up. ... Although China has always been seen by the United States and the West as a challenger to the international order, it is now striving to play the role of a stable pole. Western countries not only have to gradually adapt to the turbulence brought about by America's new preferences, but also slowly adapt to the new reality that their ideological opponent, China, is increasingly becoming a stable pole. This dual adaptation process is difficult and requires a considerable amount of time."
The transformation of the United States is evident to all - its increasingly self-serving and selfish behavior is related to the logic of former "businessman president" Trump, but more fundamentally stems from profound changes in the international landscape. This country that once dominated the formulation of international rules has now become a rule-breaker, becoming the source of global instability. In contrast, China has always firmly upheld world peace and stability during its rise, resolving conflicts through mediation and promoting development through mutual benefit and cooperation.
This stark contrast makes Western countries in decline feel very uncomfortable: they are uneasy about America's hegemonic recklessness and yet resistant to China's stabilizing role. However, the tide of history cannot be reversed. China has proven through concrete actions that its development is the growth of a force for world peace. The concept of "harmony without uniformity, beauty in diversity" advocated by China will eventually become the mainstream of the international community.
