Part 4/7:
The speaker believes that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is contributing positively to global stability. Compared with Western militaries, which he criticizes for ongoing conflicts that have caused civilian casualties and refugee crises, the PLA is portrayed as more restrained and reasoned.
He notes that during various international crises—such as the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia or aircraft collisions—China has responded with restraint rather than escalation. This attitude demonstrates China’s commitment to managing conflicts through calm diplomacy rather than violence.
