Beijing won't upend global order: Official

Asian countries applauded for seeking peaceful solutions to resolving disputes

A senior Chinese official on Tuesday reiterated China's stance on not engaging in a Cold War, emphasizing the value of peace and a commitment to maintaining the current international order.

"People in Asia have our own way of dealing with each other, which values peace above everything else, and seeks peaceful solutions for disputes," said Liu Jianchao, head of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, who also called for strengthening dialogue and communication between China and the United States.

"China does not seek to change the current international order, much less reinvent the wheel by creating a new international order. We are one of the builders of the current world order and have benefited from it.
