Of course, these rules were set without much participation by China, and the world is changing. You cannot say that the rules that were set up half a century ago can be applied without any change today. But what we want is not a revolution. We stand for necessary reform of the international system, but we have no intention of overthrowing it or setting up an entirely new one.<\/p>\n<p> [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/discussions\/interviews\/beijings-brand-ambassador\">Source<\/a>]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Tepperman questioned China&#8217;s engagement on an international scale, Cui explained that interfering in other country&#8217;s matters is not China&#8217;s responsibility or the U.S.&#8217;s responsibility. \u00a0Tepperman said, &#8220;Americans sometimes wonder whether China is really willing to help solve key international problems&#8221; and pointed out that China &#8220;has not been very cooperative&#8221; in Syria. Cui explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If we are really serious about building a new type of relationship, we have to have mutual accommodation and mutual understanding. It\u2019s not that we are just helping the United States, or that the United States is just helping us. We have to help each other. We must make efforts to see issues from the other guy\u2019s point of view. \u00a0We certainly don\u2019t want chaos and civil war in Syria or anywhere in the world. We understand there are political differences in the country. But we always follow the principle that the affairs of a particular country should be determined by its own people, not by us, not by outsiders. It\u2019s not up to China or the United States to decide the future of the country.

First of all, the technologies are new, and the attacks are invisible. Traditionally, if you perceived a threat, it could be seen. It was physical. But not in cyberspace. \u00a0Second, very few international rules have been designed for these kind of problems. So we have to work out a new set of international rules for everybody to follow.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;] if we look at the development of IT and at the industry itself, the United States is much more advanced than China. So logically, I think the weaker should be more concerned about the stronger. The stronger is in a better position both to defend itself and to maybe go on the offensive against others. \u00a0[&#8230;]\u00a0I don\u2019t think anybody has so far presented any hard evidence, evidence that could stand up in court, to prove that there is really somebody in China, Chinese nationals, that are doing these things.
