ABSTRACT

Offensive realism believes that countries are bound to absorb more relative power in the anarchy international system than other countries. The regional congress competes with the surrounding countries for regional supremacy and then wins the region's dominant position. The regional congresses compete with the surrounding countries for regional supremacy and then win the dominant position of global hegemony. However, in today's world, where globalization and anti-globalization coexist, global conflicts are intensifying, and it is impossible to achieve national economic development and prosperity solely by relying on military forces. The interaction between countries is more interdependent. Moreover, big countries may only sometimes compete with other countries for the position of regional hegemon. China's "Belt and Road" initiative in 2013 aims to develop economic development with neighbouring countries and contribute to world economic prosperity rather than competing for the world's economic prosperity. China's "Belt and Road" initiative in 2013 aims to develop economic development with neighbouring countries and contribute to world economic prosperity rather than competing for economic supremacy.
