We are in a kind of strategic competition in the so-called third countries, in developing countries, for the principles of good development or good governance, Nicolas Tenzer, a professor of sciences at the University of Paris, a senior employee of the Center for European Policy Analysis, said at the Rondeli International Conference in response to a question about new approaches to restrain China.

"We are in a kind of strategic competition in the so-called third countries, in developing countries, for the principles of good development or good governance, for example, when you have China in Africa, when you have China, maybe in Georgia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, you have bad development, you have more corruption, more dependence, more soil destruction, more ecologically unfriendly investment and we have to challenge China in this part of the game," said Nicolas Tenzer.

According to him, the second issue is the issue of security and this includes getting rid of dependence on China.

"The second part is, of course, the issue of security, and this includes, first of all, that we should be less dependent on China. We must take strong measures to protect Taiwan, some islands in the South China Sea, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, and we must make every effort to restrain China. We must take into account that both China and Russia want to destroy the world order. That is their intention, but Russia is willing to sacrifice itself for this, Putin is willing to destroy Russia just because of his own desire to stay in power, I don't think Xi Jinping will do that. He wants to protect China," said Nicolas Tenzer
