Chinese President Xi warned that one civilization forcing itself on another would be “stupid” and “disastrous'—the latest sign that the confrontation between China and the U.S. is escalating
In the latest sign that the confrontation between China and the United States is escalating, Chinese President Xi Jinping warned that one civilization forcing itself on another would be “stupid” and “disastrous."Xi’s remarks, delivered at the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations, where Beijing demonstrated its soft power, did not mention the U.S. but were regarded as the highest level response yet to tough rhetoric from Washington.
Chinese officials rejected Skinner’s remarks, and in his speech Xi appeared to expand on the theme, saying cultures were distinctive but no better or worse than each other. He went on to say: “If countries retreat to secluded islands, human civilization will die out because of a lack of exchanges.”
