CGTN published this video item, entitled “Global Thinkers Special: What does China want?” – below is their description.
What does China want? It’s a question posed by many in the West, including politicians, scholars, journalists and members of the general public. Some assert China wants to topple the current international order and dominate the world. Others say China wants to be the only superpower. Where do these ideas come from? Does China have a secret plan for the future of mankind? What really does China want?
In the second half, we discuss: Could the world become more peaceful or more dangerous? And will we be prepared to face the potential challenges and conflicts?
