China intends to change the world order and displace American leadership. Financial Times.
According to the FT, Beijing seeks to shape an international system in which China will play a decisive role. The upcoming APEC summit in Shenzhen aims to present China's vision of a new world order.
China proposes to preserve the UN, the WTO and other international institutions, but to change their principles of operation. Western analysts believe that Beijing is seeking to extend its centralized governance model to international relations.
Changes are already evident in the organization of the summit: informal meetings between leaders have been canceled, the program has been shortened, and the talks with Xi Jinping will include separate visits to his residence. Trump and Putin are expected to attend. At the same time, the publication notes, China strives to influence great powers, but does not seek to take on similar commitments to international security and conflict resolution to those of the United States.
The FT believes that economic power and support from the Global South alone will not be enough to make China a new world leader.
