China, Russia Should Join Forces To Promote Safe World For Pluralism - Chinese Investor

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 29th May, 2019) China and Russia should work together to create a safe environment for pluralism where different countries would have plenty of space to pursue their own paths, Eric Li, a pioneer Chinese venture capitalist who founded Chengwei Capital, told Sputnik.

"Obviously China, going forward, wants a world of pluralism where different countries are allowed the space and the opportunities to pursue their own development paths without outside political interference ... I think both Russia and China, and many other countries, including many people in the US and Europe, have that outlook and objective in common. So they should work together to promote a world safe for pluralism.

Different ideas, different systems of governance could be given the space and live and let live, and they can compete on their own merits," he said.

China has been advocating this belief continuously throughout the decades after it initiated market reforms and opened up to globalization four decades ago, Li added.

According to the prominent investor, China was more fortunate than Russia in this process since it was able to resist Western attempts to enforce its political and economic systems on others, meaning that the latter has "a lot more hard-learned lessons" to share with Beijing.
