*20 February - Foreign Ministry of the [[Peoples Republic of China]] publishes stinging indictment of the United Staters in ''US Hegemony and Its Perils]].<ref>[https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjbxw/202302/t20230220_11027664.html US Hegemony and Its Perils], February 20, 2023. fmprc.gov.ca</ref>
:*Introduction
::*''Since becoming the world's most powerful country after the two world wars and the Cold War, the United States has acted more boldly to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, pursue, maintain and abuse [[hegemony]], advance [[subversion]] and infiltration, and willfully wage [[war]]s, bringing harm to the international community.
:*''The United States has developed a hegemonic playbook to stage "[[color revolution]]s," instigate regional disputes, and even directly launch wars under the guise of promoting [[democracy]], [[freedom]] and [[human rights]]. Clinging to the Cold War mentality, the United States has ramped up bloc politics and stoked conflict and confrontation. It has overstretched the concept of [[national security]], abused export controls and forced unilateral sanctions upon others. It has taken a selective approach to [[international law]] and rules, utilizing or discarding them as it sees fit, and has sought to impose rules that serve its own interests in the name of upholding a "[[rules-based international order]]."
:*I. Political Hegemony—Throwing Its Weight Around
:*II. Military Hegemony—Wanton Use of Force
*III. Economic Hegemony—Looting and Exploitation
:*IV. Technological Hegemony—Monopoly and Suppression
:*V. Cultural Hegemony—Spreading False Narratives
:*Conclusion
::*''While a just cause wins its champion wide support, an unjust one condemns its pursuer to be an outcast. The hegemonic, domineering, and bullying practices of using strength to intimidate the weak, taking from others by force and subterfuge, and playing zero-sum games are exerting grave harm. The historical trends of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit are unstoppable. The United States has been overriding truth with its power and trampling [[justice]] to serve self-interest. These unilateral, egoistic and regressive hegemonic practices have drawn growing, intense criticism and opposition from the international community.
::*''Countries need to respect each other and treat each other as equals. Big countries should behave in a manner befitting their status and take the lead in pursuing a new model of state-to-state relations featuring dialogue and partnership, not confrontation or alliance. China opposes all forms of hegemonism and power politics, and rejects interference in other countries' internal affairs. The United States must conduct serious soul-searching. It must critically examine what it has done, let go of its arrogance and prejudice, and quit its hegemonic, domineering and bullying practices.
