Ma Zhanwu giving a speech
Ma Zhanwu vividly and concisely summarized the characteristics of the current international situation using the four words "chaos" and "change", "new" and "old". He believes that the current international situation is complex and the changes are profound. The rise of multipolar power,Peace, development and cooperation are the trend of the times. “In the past, we talked about ‘sustainable growth’, but now we talk more about ‘green growth.’” Ma Zhanwu used this as an example to explain the difference in focus between the old and new thinking modes. “‘Green growth’ reflects more of the transformation of the development model.”
Ma Zhanwu shared his views on two specific issues: the turmoil in West Asia and North Africa and the U.S. strategy of returning to Asia. He believes that the turbulent situation in West Asia and North Africa is due to the slow or even stagnant development of the local economy and people's livelihood; political leaders have been in power for decades, the political system is rigid, and information is blocked. This leads to poor communication, people's dissatisfaction, and intensified conflicts.
Ma Zhanwu believes that the United States is currently in trouble both internally and externally. The subprime mortgage crisis triggered a financial bubble, and people's greedy nature was undoubtedly exposed in the financial crisis. A large number of financial capitalists have made huge profits, while the middle class has become increasingly poor. "Two wars (the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War) in the past ten years have almost brought down the U.S. economy. The United States has returned to Asia because there is money to be made in the Asia-Pacific region." Ma Zhanwu emphasized, "China's economic aggregate has grown on average in the past three years9.9%, at this speed, in2020It can surpass the United States around the same time. ”
When talking about China’s diplomacy, Ma Zhanwu said humorously: “There is a saying that ‘wit and courage should not be fought against’. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is often scolded by netizens, it has indeed done a lot for the development of the country. "We understand the patriotic sentiments of netizens, but China is still far from being able to 'conquer the world with a sword.' Ma Zhanwu said that China is still far away from its ideal state and from becoming a global power. There are many problems around the country, and domestic development is also restricted by various factors. We currently adopt the attitude of "persisting in keeping a low profile and actively making a difference" in diplomacy. The words "persistence" and "active" are newly added, which reflects China's increasing international status, but more importantly, it is to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.


Audience question
