How to Achieve The New World Order

Peace depends ultimately not on political arrangements but on the conscience of mankind.

I do not know what will happen in China politically. I do know that it is impossible to maintain the communist system or probably even a strict one-party system when the economy becomes so pluralistic.

The greatest need of the contemporary international system is an agreed concept of order.
