 We need to discard cold war mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and wing-wing outcomes. Our world today is far from being tranquil. Rhetorics that stoke hatred and prejudice abound. Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm not the least good to world peace and security. History has proved time and again. The confrontation does not solve problems. It only invites catastrophic consequences. Protectionism and unilateralism can protect no one. They ultimately hurt the interests of others as well as one's own. Even worse are the practices of hegemony and bullying which run counter to the tide of history. Naturally countries have divergences and disagreements between them. Yet a zero-sum approach that enlarges one's own gain at the expense of others will not help.
