Based on China and the United States, there is no fundamental ideological differences that cannot be resolved. In addition, the economic and trade connection between China and countries around the world is closely connected. Li Xianlong believes that even if there is a new cold war situation, it is difficult to divide into different camps with clear boundaries.If China and the United States broke out, the possibility of the collapse of one party is also minimal.However, Li Xianlong emphasized that if Sino -US relations continue to be tense and unclear, it will inevitably cause huge damage to the world.

With the growth of the country's strength, China should shoulders greater international responsibilities and show to the international community that China treats its long -term interests with an enlightened and inclusive attitude.The United States should let China's expectations integrate into the existing international standardized system, and the international community should also make China play a greater role in international institutions.

Shangri -La dialogue, the highest specification of the highest specifications in this region, kicked off last night. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong pointed out in a keynote speech at a welcome dinner that two major powers in China and the United States lack strategic mutual trust, and neither parties are willing to be regarded as a weak zero sum of thinking.It makes it difficult to reach a political agreement.Sino -US relations continue to be tension and uncertain, not only causing global economic losses and blocking, but many important international issues are also difficult to solve.

Li Xianlong described the evolution of China's international status that the growth in China after reform and opening up has changed its strategic balance and has also shifted the world's economic focus.China and other countries must make adjustments to adapt to the new situation.

For China, this also means that it cannot expect other countries to continue to treat weak countries.Although China may still need decades to become a truly developed and advanced country, it can not bear greater international responsibility hellip; hellip; it must persuade the international community through action, when dealing with bilateral relations through decades.China will not adopt a reorganized approach, but only the cooperation is easy to see the transaction, but to look at its long -term interests with an enlightened and inclusive attitude.

Other countries must adapt to a more influential China and accept the fact that China will continue to grow.Li Xianlong said that China, like other countries, has reasonable benefits and expectations, including the development of local high -end technology.

As an important stakeholder in the international system, China must also be able to play properly and constructive roles in international institutions.When the international community formulates new rules for trade, intellectual property, network security, and social media, China should have the right to speak.

However, the attitude between China and the United States has become more tough, and Li Xianlong pointed out that this is worrying.He believes that the basic problem between China and the United States is lack of strategic mutual trust. If this situation continues, it is a serious mistake for both China and the United States.

Based on China and the United States, there is no fundamental ideological differences that cannot be resolved. In addition, the economic and trade connection between China and countries around the world is closely connected. Li Xianlong believes that even if there is a new cold war situation, it is difficult to divide into different camps with clear boundaries.

If China and the United States broke out, the possibility of the collapse of one party is also minimal.However, Li Xianlong emphasized that if Sino -US relations continue to be tense and unclear, it will inevitably cause huge damage to the world.

The most important thing is that the United States and China must cooperate with other countries to make the international system keep pace with the times, rather than subversing it.To achieve this, both China and the United States must look at the problems from the perspective of each other in order to better understand how each other should coordinate their own interests.

Li Xianlong also proposed that countries should strive to promote the regional or border trade agreements (Plurilateral Agreement) to establish a wider range of regions and even international cooperation structures.He said that although small and medium -sized countries cannot affect the decisions of large powers, they can deepen economic cooperation and promote regional integration, establish multilateral institutions, and expand their influence.

There are still many rooms to be improved in existing multilateral institutions.Li Xianlong pointed out that countries need to reform and strengthen the multilateral system, rather than weaken or hinder its development, and benefit from promoting the prosperity of each other and strengthening collective security.

Li Xianlong said that if the global multilateral trade agreement cannot be promoted, countries must at least continue to promote the regional or border trade agreements.This may not be the most ideal solution, but this is a pragmatic approach that allows countries to gradually reduce trade barriers and set higher standards for agreements for the use of other countries.

Singapore Prime Minister Li Xianlong just gave a wonderful keynote speech, and many of his views are worthy of praise.I used to hear a sentence before: lsquo; Singapore's small country roso; through Li Xianlong's speech, it proves that this sentence is true.
