“It is important to understand China’s aspirations,” he said and insisted that China had no intentions to expand communism across the world. The Communist Party of China (CCP) is struggling to end an epoch of Chinese humiliation and lead China into an era of pride and dignity. “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should instead be called the Chinese Civilization Party (CPP).” Mahbubani, who formerly served as Singapore’s Ambassador to the United Nations, billed the U.S.-China relationship ‘unique’ and ‘remarkable’ as both the countries had significantly helped each other in meeting their critical needs. The United States played an important role in ending China’s international isolation, making it a member of the United Nations and also introducing it as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Above all, the United States has opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of Chinese students in its leading research and higher education institutions, an act of generosity that will amaze future historians.
