Ever wondered how China shapes its global diplomacy? Here are 6 must-know insights—straight from Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, part of China's major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. Let's dive in! 🚀
1. 🗺️ Multipolar world & inclusive globalization
China pushes for an equal, multipolar world where no one is left off the map. By advocating a multipolar system, Beijing wants all nations—big or small—to have a say. And it champions inclusive globalization to spread growth and opportunity fairly.
2. 🤝 Neighbors first
Earlier this April, at the Central Conference on Work Related to Neighboring Countries, China highlighted amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness with its 17 neighbors across the Indochina Peninsula and Central Asia. It's all about sharing weal and woe through dialogue and consultation.
3. 🌐 Stable big-power ties
China works to keep relationships with major players steady. It has strengthened the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership, aimed for cool-headed dialogue with the U.S., and built a comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU. Balanced, peaceful, sustainable—that's the goal.
4. 🌍 Unity with developing nations
China teams up with fellow developing countries to defend shared interests. From joint projects in Africa to solidarity programs in Latin America and the Caribbean, plus cooperation initiatives with Arab states and Pacific Island members, it's all about collective progress.
5. 💡 Four global initiatives
China offers four public goods: the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative. These focus on shared progress, peaceful dispute resolution, cultural exchange, and fairer global institutions.
6. 🌟 Building a shared future
At its core, China's vision is a 'community with a shared future for humanity'. For eight years, this idea has been echoed in UN General Assembly resolutions and embraced by dozens of partners in fields like cyberspace, health, nuclear safety, and the oceans.
Whether you're into global trends, tech, or cultural exchange, these six points reveal how China sees its role on the world stage. 🌏✨
