China's Strategy
- Xi Jinping's strategy for a new world order has four elements: Belt and Road Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Development Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative.
- These initiatives aim to reshape global norms and institutions to align with Chinese values and interests.
Appeal of China's Initiatives
- China's initiatives gain traction by appearing benign while subtly promoting Chinese interests and undermining Western values.
- They exploit dissatisfaction with existing systems, offering seemingly attractive alternatives.
US Strategy: Inclusivity
- The US should prioritize greater inclusion of emerging and middle-income economies in its initiatives.
- Active engagement and collaboration are crucial, rather than imposing pre-set rules.
