SMD: Is the success of China a challenge to Western democracies?
Let's make a historical comparison. Was the rise of the United States a threat to democratic Britain? The United States was founded on the slaughtering of indigenous population and the slave system. Is this model suitable for other countries? Do you want China to learn from this model? It is true that the US has developed into a democratic country which is strong in many respects, but its democracy is not developed from this model, which any rational person would not want to imitate.

China is developing, but there is no evidence to prove that its internal development is causing a threat to the West. What is challenging the US is not China's development, but its independence. That is the real challenge.

You can tell from every day's headlines that the current focus of US foreign policy is Iran. The year 2010 is called 'The Year of Iran.' Iran is portrayed as a threat to US foreign policy and the world order. The US has imposed harsh, unilateral sanctions, but China has not followed suit. China has never followed the US lead. Instead, it supports UN sanctions, which are too weak to matter. A few days before I left for China, the US States
Department warned China in a very interesting way. It said China has to bear international responsibilities, i.e. follow US orders. This is China's international responsibilities.
...
This is standard imperialism, which is that other countries have to act according to our requests. If not, they are irresponsible. I think officials from the Chinese Foreign Ministry must laugh when they hear this. But this is the standard logic of imperialism. In fact, Iran becomes a threat because it does not follow US instructions. China is a bigger threat, as it is a
big problem when a major power refuses to obey orders. This is the challenge that the US faces.
