Is West forming anti-China coalition?

Beijing plays positive role on world stage

Since the global situation has changed, no one country can claim to be superior to the others. According to the 2017 US National Security Strategy report, Washington sees Beijing as a rival-rather than an economic partner and competitor with whom it may have occasional differences.

Besides, the US has launched several anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations against Chinese products. And even though China is the European Union's second-largest trade partner, the EU has joined the US to deny that China is a market economy.
Last year, Australia claimed China is interfering in its internal affairs despite having few differences with China.

Misunderstandings over a rising China co-exist with the age-old Western bias against China. For example, the aim of the Belt and Road Initiative is not to project China as a big geopolitical player, but the West is not convinced. In contrast, given its remarkable comprehensive development, China is willing to further contribute to global development.

Although anti-globalization sentiments in some parts of the world have made the world more complicated, cooperation and talks still work.

And Xi's efforts to strengthen global governance, including building a community of shared future for all humankind and the Belt and Road Initiative, have been acknowledged worldwide, which means China's voice is being widely heard, and this is good for regional and global development.
