Classical Summary:

In her article "China's Alternative Order And What America Should Learn From It," Elizabeth Economy examines China's ambitious vision for reshaping the global order and the strategies it employs to achieve this goal. Under President Xi Jinping's leadership, China is actively promoting an alternative global order that emphasizes multipolarity, absolute sovereignty, consensus-based security, state-determined human rights, development as the key to all solutions, and the end of U.S. dollar dominance. This vision is supported by initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Global Development Initiative (GDI), Global Security Initiative (GSI), and Global Civilization Initiative (GCI), which aim to reshape the international system and cement China's centrality within it.

China's vision is designed to appeal to a wide range of countries, particularly those dissatisfied with the current U.S.-led system. To promote its objectives, China invests heavily in diplomatic resources, media networks, state-owned companies, and its private sector. Additionally, China's security apparatus plays an increasing role in its diplomatic efforts, conducting military exercises and offering training to militaries in the developing world.

While China has made progress in gaining rhetorical support, its influence on the ground and among the public in various regions is mixed. However, the unpopularity of the U.S.-led international system in much of the world creates an opening for China to promote its alternative vision.

Economy argues that the United States should position itself as a force for system change, promoting an inclusive economic and technological revolution and engaging with a broader range of countries. She emphasizes the need for the United States to invest more in the foundations of its competitiveness and national security to succeed over the long term. Furthermore, stabilizing the U.S.-Chinese relationship by defining areas for cooperation and managing tensions can help the United States focus on building its capabilities and advancing its global vision.

In conclusion, Economy stresses that while China's vision for a transformed global order poses a significant challenge, it is up to the United States and its allies and partners to create an affirmative and compelling alternative. By promoting openness, transparency, the rule of law, and official accountability, the United States can shape the future of the international system in line with its values and interests.
