China is realizing the American dream. But on your own terms [ANALIZA]

In 2005, then deputy head of the State Department, Robert Zoellick, gave a programmatic speech about the state of US-China relations. He noticed the enormous economic progress in China, he saw that it is a huge country, which is constantly developing and in the coming years will have an even greater impact on global events. “For the United States and the world, the big question is: How will China use its influence? Zoellick asked.

And he answered himself: “Our policy can no longer just let China into the world system; we must persuade it to become a ‘responsible stakeholder’ in that system.”

Zoellick hopes China “aligns itself with the international rules developed in the last century” and “joins the US in solving the problems of the new century.” He urged China not to associate with countries that “cause trouble” because that would show “blindness at best, something far worse at worst.” He called on Beijing to “account for its spending on armaments” and, above all, to carry out a “peaceful transformation of its political system”, i.e. make it a democracy.
