There is no better example than the fast developing New Silk Road, China’s vast project to facilitate its trade with Europe and connect Central Asia to the world economy.
Before US President Donald Trump`s visit to Asia, as always, some American scholars gave suggestions as they anticipated what would happen. Their point was the same across the board: the US should consolidate its relationship with its allies to balance China`s rise and to guarantee US leadership in the Asia-Pacific region.
The American Dream has been joined by “the Chinese Dream” in rhetorical parlance recently – and surely every population has its own such aspirations to be prosperous and happy.

The "China factor" behind the left alliance has been a matter of debate though no conformist discourse has yet been formed.

NATO understands it cannot bypass China to meddle in Asia-Pacific affairs, so it has made three demands: China`s no objection is the bottom line; seeking China`s consent and understanding; and if possible, cooperation with Beijing.
