Le Yucheng, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister told a forum held by the Chongyang Institute for Financial
Studies at the Renmin University of China in Beijing on January 18 that “Exceeding the US in GDP, we are
not interested in it, and this is not what we are going after. “He added “To meet the people’s desire for a
better life, this is what the Communist Party of China aims for.” Li Yucheng also said, “We should oppose
the Cold War mentality of unilateralism, interference in internal affairs, making coterie and group politics.”
(Comment: Le Yucheng made the comments a day after China published its 2021 gross domestic product
(GDP) growth figure of 8.1 per cent, beating expectations and moving its economy closer to the size of that
of the US.)
