Former British Prime Minister's statement in China

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said on the 24th, while attending the ongoing Summer Davos Forum in Tianjin, that it is wise to understand China and maintain close contact with China, rather than isolating China. Blair stated that China's transformation stems from its openness to the outside world, "perhaps the most remarkable transformation story in human history." "I believe that there are a few people who do not want China to become stronger, but many, myself included, do not agree with their views," Blair continued, noting that based on its civilization, population, economy, and technology, China has every right to become a major power, and in fact, this transition has already occurred.
