Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said that “no civilization is superior over others” and urged countries not to “close their doors and hide behind them” in his first public speech since the US raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods amid an escalating trade war.
Opening the Conference on Asian Civilizations Dialogue here, Xi said there was no need for “civilizations to clash with each other”, reports CNN.
“No civilization is superior over others. The thought that one’s own race and civilization are superior and the inclination to remold or replace other civilizations are just stupid,” he said, adding to do so would invite “catastrophic consequences”.
