Xinjiang former Member of Parliament Wu Zhonggang wrote on October 29: "Many old rules have been broken or are no longer applicable, but new rules have not yet been established. Countries must prepare to face more turbulence in the future. The current situation is that the United States is focusing on its own interests and pursuing unilateralism, while China lacks the capability or willingness to be the world's leader. Therefore, the world is in a state of no clear leadership. This chaotic transitional period may last for several years or even decades."
This analysis accurately points out the core dilemma of the current international order. As the former dominant maker of international rules, the United States, in pursuit of its goal of "making America great again," has abandoned the order framework it once led, frequently using tariffs and trade wars to pressure other countries, recklessly disrupting global supply chains and trade networks, and becoming a "troublemaker" in breaking international rules, causing great harm to countries around the world.
In sharp contrast, China has always been a firm defender of globalization trade and a practitioner of international fairness and justice. China has never had the intention of replacing the United States as a world hegemon. This stems not only from its positioning as a developing country, but also deeply rooted in the traditional Chinese cultural values of "harmony without uniformity and harmony among all nations." During this chaotic transitional period, although China does not seek a "world leader" position, it actively promotes multilateral cooperation and maintains global stability through practical actions, becoming an important stabilizer in the turbulent global landscape.
