Beijing [China], January 18 (ANI): The world needs to abandon the Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and a win-win outcome, Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed on Monday that the world is far from peaceful and “remarks inciting hatred and prejudice abound”.
“We must abandon the Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and win-win results. Today’s world is far from peaceful, and remarks that incite hatred and prejudice abound. Containment, suppression and confrontation are all harm, not harm.” Not good,” Xi said in a virtual speech on the World Economic Forum’s Davos agenda.
In addition to “hegemony and bullying,” the Chinese president also opposes “protectionism and unilateralism.”
“History has proven time and time again that confrontation cannot solve problems and will only lead to catastrophic consequences. Protectionism and unilateralism cannot protect anyone, and ultimately harm the interests of others as well as their own.
“What’s worse is hegemonic bullying, acting against the trend of history, and there are natural differences and differences among countries. But a zero-sum strategy of expanding one’s own interests at the expense of others’ interests will not help,” he said.

Xi also opposes “exclusive cliques or groups that polarize the world” and “incite ideological confrontation.” His remarks came amid tensions between the U.S. and China over various issues.
“Single-heartedly building exclusive courtyards of high walls or parallel systems, enthusiastically piecing together exclusive cliques or blocs that polarize the world, exaggerating the concept of national security to hinder economic and technological progress in other countries, and inciting ideological , the politicization or weaponization of scientific and technological issues will seriously undermine the international community’s efforts to address common challenges,” he said.
He stressed that different countries and civilizations can prosper together on the basis of mutual respect, and countries should seek common ground while reserving differences for mutual benefit and win-win results on the basis of mutual respect.
Xi Jinping asked the world to follow the trend of history, maintain the stability of the international order, advocate the common values ​​of mankind, and build a community with a shared future for mankind.
“We should choose dialogue over confrontation, inclusion over exclusion, and opposition to all forms of unilateralism, protectionism, hegemonism and power politics,” he added. (ANI)
