China Pledges to Refrain From Using Force to Attain Goals: Xi

[Chinese-Dragon]

Words must be validated with actions to earn the credibility, so far the actions spoke otherwise.

Believe it or not. Doesn't matter to us.

We have over $4 trillion in currency reserves alone, we won't have to worry about the cost of military spending.

So we'll keep winning on the economy front, while rivals like India will have to splurge their limited budget on "stop-gap" measures and imports, killing their own indigenous industries in favor of expensive imports.

A very large country like India is supposed to have a large military anyway to protect our interests, it's not that we will disolve our military if the border disputes with China is settled, and we spend a very small percentage of our annual budget on military to maintain a credible deterrence; much smaller percentage than most other nations spend on their military. What you are posting is failed logic.

Btw, your posts used to be of better quality, I am missing that quality nowadays.

Profound regional impact from China's Silk Road initiatives
[By Gou Ben]

The "Belt and Road" initiatives raised by China to revive the ancient Silk Road and promote shared prosperity are set to make a profound long-term positive impact on Asia and the world.

A latest development came when Chinese President Xi Jinping announced on Nov. 8 that China would set up a Silk Road fund worth 40 billion U.S. dollars to support infrastructure, resources, industrial and financial cooperation and other projects related to connectivity for countries along the "Belt and Road."

The initiatives are a land-based belt from China via Central Asia and Russia to Europe, and a maritime Silk Road through the Straight of Malacca to India, the Middle East and East Africa.x Chang Jian, Barclays chief China economist, said in a research report that the initiatives will create trade and investment opportunities in infrastructure and construction, including transportation, ports, pipelines, power generation and environmental projects, as well as stimulating energy and resource exchanges, consumption and tourism.

"We think the initiative is underpinned by a win-win approach and a strong desire from China to export excess capacity, invest abroad and diversify its foreign exchange reserves. China has competitive edges in capital and expertise, while many Asian countries face large financing gaps," Chang said.

She said that the establishment of the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in October demonstrated the regional desire to cooperate.

The Asian Development Bank estimates infrastructure financing demand in Asia will be around 8 trillion U.S. dollars between 2010 and 2020. The latest HSBC global research report also said that China's infrastructure sector has the capacity to meet the needs of Asia and further abroad. It said China's overseas investment should also generate demand for its exports and help take up the economic slack.

"Since the investment will be in roads, railways, ports and airports, it should benefit all parties, due to lower trade costs. Investing in infrastructure along these routes will serve to develop new export markets for China, generate better and longer-term returns on its foreign reserves, and act as another channel through which China can internationalize its currency, complemented by the likely boost to trade flows," the HSBC report said.

The initiatives should also bring more investment to the less developed central and western parts of the country.

Quote: Towards an Idea of “Tian Xia” by TONG Shijun
(East China Normal University/Shanghai Academy ofSocial Sciences)

...
If we expand our understanding of coexistence and cooperation as the “ ontological
condition” for our (well-)being, then we can see that when we are engaged in friendly coexistence
and cooperation, we should not only avoid trying to benefit us alone, but also avoid trying to
benefit others according to our own understanding of “ benefits” or “ interests” . The first
principle in Confucianism in dealing with others is “ Not to do to others as you would not wish
done to yourself. ” (Analectics, Ch. 12) This, as we all know, is the Confucian version of the
“ Golden Rule ” . In addition to this basically negative rule there is another Confucian rule, a
positive one: “ Now the man of perfect virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks also to
establish others; wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others.” （ Analectics,
Ch.6）） Here the expressions “to establish others” and “ to enlarge others” should not be
understood as simply“making others live the same kind of life as we do”. It is well-known that to
impose what we think to be good upon other people very often inflict great harm upon them
instead. To have the view of tian xia in our times means that we should not only do good things for
others, but also respect others’ understanding of the meaning of “a good life” . In order to show
our respect for other people’ s right to interpret the meaning of “ good” , and, in order to seek
mutual understanding between different people (and different peoples) over the problem “what is
a good life” , we should take an active part in cooperation not only in trade, finance and economy
in general, but also in culture, in cultural exchange and intellectual dialogue.
