I like it when China says it believes in (1) Mutual respect of sovereignty, (2) peaceful negotiation of disputes, (3) egalitarianism, (4) respect for cultural diversity, (5) mutual economic cooperation. I am referring to this nice article titled China's Position on Establishing a New International Political and Economic Order from the website of the Chinese Embassy in Manila.
I like it because it is so opposite of the actual foreign policy of the U.S. that I notice such as: (1) American citizenship superiority complex, (2) Useof war machinery to press their interest into other nations, (3) Americanization of all cultures worldwide, and (4) Economic empirialism.
