The Chinese diplomat and politician read a few articles and praised the paper in front of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and all the dignitaries at the event.
Zhaoxing was speaking at the forum on ‘The Global Order 2030: China and the United States,’ along with panelist former US Vice President Dick Cheney. They discussed the place of the US in the future world order, the vision and motives of China's foreign policy over the next 10 years, and the roles of the two superpowers in the Arab region over the next decade.
