NEW YORK – Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi dismissed fears Friday thathis country was seeking to overtake the United States as the pre-eminentworld power, saying Beijing wants global harmony.
Pointing to recent works of US scholars who say China is stepping upefforts for hegemony, Wang said: “I want to tell you very clearly that thisis a serious strategic misjudgment.”
“It is a misguided anticipation that will be extremely detrimental to USinterests and the future of the United States,” Wang told the Council onForeign Relations in New York, where he was attending the UN GeneralAssembly. – APP/AFP
