China does not have an explicitly articulated vision for a new world order that it wants to replace the US-led system with; instead, Xi Jinping's four rejuvenation objectives were purely domestic political in focus, and China says it wants to participate in and benefit from the existing world order rather than fundamentally replace it.

Evidence Quote

What was absent from that list was a new world order. That's because it was domestic politics...I don't think we have a clear idea ourselves that they have a world order that they want to replace us with...they say that they just want to continue to grow and and participate in the existing world order which they've benefited enormously from.
