NEW YORK — China has no intention to play the "game of thrones" on the world stage, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in New York on Sept 24.

Seeking hegemony has never been in Chinese DNA, Wang said when addressing a dinner co-hosted by National Committee on US-China Relations, US-China Business Council, US Chamber of Commerce and Council on Foreign Relations.

In response to the so-called "shift of international power" hyped by some in the United States, Wang said that such a claim is a strategic misjudgment about China and reflects a lack of self-confidence.

In a world confronted with more and more challenges, no country can do well in isolation or fix all the problems single-handedly, Wang said, noting that the sharing of international responsibilities is a natural trend.

In this process, each country, big countries in particular, can harness its comparative strength and play a role to the best of its ability, he said, adding that China is ready to fulfill its due share of responsibilities.
