Strategic resilience required as China aims at larger worldwide goals
Por Camilo Arcaya • 25 sep, 2013 • Category: PolíticaHow to convert power resources into real power in global affairs is a huge test for the Chinese government at present. For example, we help build hospitals in Africa, but the doctors working there are from Europe. China has long been characterized by its remarkable economic growth and now it is high time to translate such power resources into extensive and enduring influence. In this course, civil power should be unleashed. China can learn from the US in empowering the public and the private sector to aid in the foreign policy goals. Proceeding with strategic transformation in China’s diplomacy, we should adopt a new worldview in compliance with modern development, a more appropriate positioning of the country, a more accurate definition of national interests, a more attractive expression of our values, a more effective allocation of resources, and a more balanced use of different policy means.
