It can be recognised that they must begin, first and foremost, with themselves. They must understand how the principle of the legitimacy of order can serve to stabilise the internal situation in Greater Eurasia, where many powers are currently ...
... and a means for political gains. It is not hard to see that the rules in the rules-based order are not neutral; they are in fact rules made by the powerful to defend and perpetuate power politics. As many Chinese scholars have noticed, this liberal world order is a threat to China’s one-party political governance system and economic rise and that is the reason that China views this as a thinly veiled containment policy.
