China, under the new leadership of Xi Jinping, has no intention of replacing the United States as a global hegemonic power, the head of the Chinese Communist Party's delegation to Thailand says.

Instead, strengthening ties with Thailand and Asean will be Beijing's top priority in this region.

Beijing will concentrate on resolving socio-economic inequality, while taking a balanced approach to regional maritime security, Chen Baosheng, a Communist Party central committee member, said.

Talking of the black pot, the “Rule of Law” is for Americans inside the USA, however, outside of US, their government is above the “Rule of International Law.” Every nation on earth had, at one time or another, been bullied by the “The United States of Assholes”. Just ask the native “Red Indians”, Mexico, Cuba and Latin Americans; Canada will be next if the Artic ice melts any further. Here, we are trying to solve a very sensitive situation as best as possible, one “baby step” at a time, without some outside provocations. If these region blows out of control, guess where will these “champions” be?

You can better serve your readership with a more balanced account of facts, instead of allowing yourself to be a mouth piece for Chinese propaganda: Cambodia already took first place position for that well paid job. China can't even convince any 1st grader of its 5,000 years history of non-hegemonic aggression. Look at Tibet and South China Sea... as small examples of lawless and criminal acts that China committed. A leader of ASEAN, Thailand must step up with strength-in-numbers effort. When small nations can speak with 1 voice, China will understand its limit. Timid diplomacy encourages more Chinese aggression.

"Beijing would continue its policies, which focus on improving the living standards of Chinese citizens, maintaining peace and stability in the region, particularly in regards to maritime security, as well as addressing corruption and the unequal distribution of wealth, he said."

Corruption, does that include violating copyright?
