History has shown that the Chinese nation is peace-loving and it rejects the practice of self-claimed supremacy, Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan said in Davos on Wednesday.
The Chinese culture values the teachings that one should help others to succeed while seeking one's own success, create a world for all, treat others with respect and pursue win-win cooperation, said Wang in his remarks addressing the 2019 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
He said the Chinese nation is a peace-loving, open and inclusive nation that keeps abreast of the times.
"We reject the practices of the strong bullying the weak and self-claimed supremacy," he said, adding that while developing itself, China also wishes to work with all countries for common development and a community with a shared future for mankind.
The advances in China in the past 70 years are not a godsend, nor a gift from others. Rather, they are made by the Chinese people through vision, hard work, courage, reform and innovation, Wang said.
The Chinese nation has made contribution to human progress, Wang noted, adding that what the Chinese people long for is to see China once again gain its rightful place among the nations of the world and achieve great rejuvenation.
Themed "Globalization 4.0: Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution," this year's Davos forum gathers over 3,000 participants. More than 60 heads of state or government, 40 international organization heads and 1,700 business leaders attended the event.
