This is a rare, refreshing, factual report on China foreign policy. Largely devoid of the knee-jerk anti-Communist you-are-evil ideology that dominate western reporting and analysis on China. 

China have never been an imperial empire and its Buddhist culture does not permit it. This is an exact opposite of western Christian-centrist highly self-righteous cultures who, of course, practiced empire since Alexander the Great (the Evil from the conquered viewpoint) established the first western empire 3 century BC.

China have done the unbelievable: it invented and operates an economic model better than American-Euro capitalism. It lifted 500 million Chinese and 100 million foreigners out of poverty into the middle class. Give them hope. At the same time, America and Europe dropped 200 million people from the middle class. Removed hope.

And now China offers its hands to try to solve some of the world most intractable, deadly problems. All are leftover mess of western empire conquests.
