Nothing to fear, but a lot to admire, says Beijing envoy

China will not impose its own systems and values on other countries, has no intention of interfering in other countries' political systems and has no desire to export its development model, says Zhang Ping, China's consul general in Los Angeles.

China is also committed to the path of peaceful development, Zhang said in remarks made at the opening on Friday of an online photo exhibition to celebrate the coming 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party of China.

"China will not hit the well-trodden path by which a growing power is bound to seek hegemony," Zhang said.
