China seeks reform, not revolution, of current int'l order

"To make Washington change its mindset, China could start with countries like the United Kingdom and Canada. Like in the case of the AIIB, the institute was originally met with strong resistance from the US and Japan. But after the joining of its Western allies like the UK, Washington has downgraded its opposing tone, and even turned to cooperating with China in such international agencies as the World Bank," Zheng added.

In his article, Zheng also criticized the United States for having suppressed countries that have deviated from its interpretation of the international order, and repelled those who dared not to follow its steps.

In terms of international responsibilities, the same situation also occurs, he said, as "the US does not recognize the efforts by countries like China to shoulder their responsibilities. Instead, nations with their own understandings of the international responsibilities have been pressured by the US for holding dissent perspectives."

"The notion of sovereign state stems from the West. Technically, sovereignty means that countries should stand on equal foot and their domestic affairs should not be interfered by others," said Zheng.

Zheng also accused the United States for "inducing color revolutions in other countries for years with the goal of replacing their governments with ones that are more favorable to Washington, under the disguises of human rights and freedom."

To support his arguments, Zheng quoted sentences from World Order, a book written by US veteran diplomat Henry Kissinger, as saying that instead of only one international order, there are multiple orders existing in the world and applying to different civilizations.
