Xi Jinping's plan for a world order centered on China.
China's technology display at the APEC meeting in Shenzhen, along with the slogan "Shared Prosperity", is a reflection of Xi Jinping's doctrine entitled "A society with a shared future for mankind"; A concept that has been the focus of his diplomatic initiatives since 2013, but remains unclear in official documents.
Steve Tsang of the London School of Oriental and African Studies and Olivia Chung of King's College London see this doctrine as an expression of Xi's desire to create an order centered on China; An order in which China's supremacy is accepted and the leaders of the countries are free in their internal affairs.
This concept is similar to the old principle of "mutual non-interference"; The principle seems inconsistent with China's history of intervention and Beijing's silence against the actions of some of its partners.
An important change is the increase in China's economic and military power; A power that raises concerns about the application of the principle of non-intervention towards Taiwan.
From the economist's point of view, a "shared future" is not a new point of view, but a new showcase for an old and conservative strategy that focuses on China's interests and position.
