Xi says countries must abandon ‘Cold War mentality,’ warns against confrontation

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called for countries to move away from a “Cold War mentality,” saying history has repeatedly shown that confrontation only invites disastrous repercussions.

His comments come at a time of simmering tensions between China and the U.S. over Taiwan and as fears escalate over a possible Russian incursion into Ukraine.

Speaking via videoconference at The Davos Agenda virtual event, Xi said: “We need to discard Cold War mentality and seek peaceful co-existence and win-win outcomes.”

“Our world today is far from being tranquil. Rhetorics that stoke hatred and prejudice abound. Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm, not the least good to world peace and security,” he added, according to a translation.

“History has proved time and again that confrontation does not solve problems. It only invites catastrophic consequences. Protectionism and unilateralism can protect no one. They ultimately hurt the interests of others as well as one’s own. Even worse are the practices of hegemony and bullying, which run counter to the tide of history.”

Xi said the “right way forward for humanity is peaceful development and win-win cooperation.”

Beijing and Washington’s tense relationship over Taiwan has been identified as a top risk for Asia this year, while one of the region’s top experts has previously warned China’s “disturbing” crackdown on U.S.-listed China stocks could be interpreted as the early stages of a Cold War.

Economist Stephen Roach told CNBC in July last year that tensions between the U.S. and China could get to levels not seen since the early 1970s.

China claims Taiwan is part of its own territory and has been putting pressure on the democratic island to accept its rule. Taiwan’s leaders, conversely, argue it is a sovereign state.

A ‘safe and splendid’ Games

Xi’s special address at the World Economic Forum’s virtual event touched on a range of issues, including a call to embrace international cooperation to jointly defeat the coronavirus pandemic and a bid to reassure those concerned about the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Xi said he was confident of a “streamlined, safe and splendid” Games even as the country continues to implement a “zero-Covid” policy. The event is scheduled to start next month.

The Davos Agenda conference is taking place virtually after the World Economic Forum postponed its in-person annual gathering due to health and safety concerns over Covid-19.

It’s not delusional or racist to sell weapons to any sovereign nations to defend themselves unless that nation is Palestine

There's something wild about listening to people with terrible English pronunciation (and vocab) try and insult others in English.

You cry about everything the US does without saying anything about what their adversaries are doing. You're either a plant or an ignorant young person from a different country.

lol the sale of arms is one of the most 'normal' or 'regular' ways 1st world countries get paid, that isn't exclusive to America - America just does it well. If China had it's way and could outdo tech like that which exists in the F15 f*ghter Jets they'd a*sume control of every contract America currently has.

Was it delusional or racist when America and Europe were putting in place the blockades/embargos/sanctions that limited Japans access to war resources that aided China in pushing back on Japans imperialism? By your logic the world should have stood by and watched as Japan wiped out/conquered the Chinese.

Was it racist or delusional when American pilots saved Top Chinese military brass during the Battle of Nanking?

China currently runs concentration camps filled with Uyghurs, that seems a bit delusional and racist

Xiox said Make up y'all mind on who i am , y'all said i was a commie & now i am a Chinese sympathizer

Those things are far from being mutually exclusive

Remember your not allowed to comment on Xi.

We have zero defensive measures to f*ght China. Hawaii is there's for the taking. They could setup shop in California with little effort. There's billions of them and probably a billion of them outside of their country. We'd lose a conventional war against them and it's not even close.

Do you n*ggas really think the US would willingly bate n*ggas into a war they think they would lose? All these complaints about taxes and defense spending. Where y'all think that money went? There's a reason why we are over there fu*king with Russia. There's a reason why we are over there fu*king with china. And why neither of those countries are over here fu*king with us....

If you do criticize China, they will turn around and start crying with their whataboutism. What about, what about the US?
They do it too!
