Maritime strategy for big blue horizons

Building a social system based on yuan standard  

The US' political and economic success after the end of World War II mainly lies in its powerful navy, the post-war global security system, a US dollar-centered global financial system, and a value system built on freedom, democracy and human rights.

But the US' excessive use of force and unilateral expansionism across the world in recent years have resulted in people gradually losing trust in the US-style of social and value system. The US is also facing major challenges that it cannot overcome alone－the conflict between Islam and Christianity, the severe challenge to the dollar standard, and the challenge to the US-proclaimed value system.

Is China's rise on the same lines as the US'? China, to be sure, has chosen the correct development road. At present, China's systematic design strives to strike the right balance between efficiency and fairness because they help raise productivity of the whole country.

And the fact that only China can efficiently mobilize the maximum resources to complete a big task is a reflection of the superiority of the socialist system. In addition, if China promotes an organic combination of universal value and traditional Chinese culture while trying to establish a common value system widely acceptable to the international community, its civilization and culture will forever remain strong.

China has put forward two goals－the building of a community of shared future for humankind and the Belt and Road Initiative. If the British Commonwealth system was built on the "gold standard", and the postwar US society is built on the "dollar standard", China should build a yuan-standard-based social system. Currently, China's national strength continues to rise and the yuan remains strong and popular across the world. So China should try to establish a yuan-standard-based social system and become a strong maritime country.
