Reference News Network, January 24 report: The U.S. "Newsweek" website published an article on January 22 with the title "China May Become the Davos Winner Due to Trump's Chaos." The report states that after U.S. President Donald Trump made a series of market-disrupting and ally-offending remarks at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, China is positioning itself as a more stable partner in an increasingly turbulent situation. Some representatives and analysts say that this view is gaining increasing support.

The report points out that with a clearly increased skepticism towards the United States, China has positioned itself as a more responsible and reliable superpower. On the 20th, Vice Premier He Lifeng of the State Council said that it is necessary to adhere to win-win cooperation and strive to make the cooperation cake bigger together.

Nicholas Lardy, senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said: "China has positioned itself as a source of global stability."

Wendy Cutler, deputy director of the Asia Society Policy Institute and former U.S. trade negotiator, said: "China may become the winner of this meeting."

At the time of this annual meeting, China has concluded several agreements, marking the beginning of a thaw in its cold relationship with some countries, especially America's allies.

In Mark Carney's speech, the Canadian Prime Minister mentioned the strategic partnership between Canada and China established during his recent visit to China.

Cutler said: "We are seeing significant adjustments in bilateral relations with some countries, including agreements on supporting trade and investment, strengthening energy cooperation, and advancing business relations."

She also said that regardless of the final outcome of the Greenland dispute, experts believe that China is able to and will continue to position itself as a "reliable partner in a chaotic world."

The U.S. "New York Times" website also reported on January 22 with the title "As Trump Abandons Global Economic Leadership, China Wins." It pointed out that President Trump delivered a long-winded and disorganized speech, which was alternately grandiose and resentful, declaring the end of the U.S. leadership in the liberal democratic order established after World War II by the U.S. and its allies. In contrast, China is committed to shaping itself as a responsible superpower.

The report stated that today, there is a growing feeling that China is upholding the economic ideas abandoned by Trump: promoting its development through participation in multilateral institutions, believing in the power of global trade to create wealth, and recognizing that no country is strong enough to develop alone.

Eswar Prasad, an international trade expert at Cornell University, said: "China obviously wants to show a mature image, while the U.S. continues to act recklessly with hostility."

Under the current U.S. nationalist hardline policies, Europe and China are natural allies in certain aspects. Both sides uphold the concept of rule-based international trade, acknowledge the scientific facts of climate change, and are mobilizing investment and technological forces to address the issue.
