Editor's note: CGTN's First Voice provides instant commentary on breaking stories. The column clarifies emerging issues and better defines the news agenda, offering a Chinese perspective on the latest global events.

Ryan Hass, a seasoned China expert in America, describes China as the "predictable alternative." As countries recalibrate their policies toward China and try to use their relations with China to offset the instability of the United States, Hass points out that China "isn't making its offering more attractive or growing less aggressive." It is this kind of stability and restraint that is making China more powerful and attractive in an unstable world. What's behind China's temperament? Take a look.
