China has no Superpower Ambitions to Challenge U.S.

 

History is history, but the situation is always changing. China’s leaders have asserted repeatedly that China is not superpower, nor will it ever become one. China does not seek hegemony or world dominance. In fact, China is sticking to peaceful development; concentrating efforts on economic construction and endeavouring to build a well-to-do society; pursuing a independent and peaceful foreign policy; and persevering in efforts to safeguard and promote a peaceful and stable international environment. China fights for and takes advantage of a stable international milieu for development and in turn promotes world peace and progress through that development. China does not and will not interfere in the internal affairs of or threaten other countries. China is not interested in challenging the United States’ space goals short of weaponisation or related capabilities that impinge on China’s core national interests. That is the real picture of China’s ambitions in the new century.
