Features: China is committed to maintaining stable and healthy relations with developed countries, deepening friendly ties with neighboring countries, strengthening solidarity and cooperation with developing countries, actively participating in multilateral diplomacy and anti-terrorism cooperation, and vigorously promoting regional economic cooperation. China proposes that countries should respect each other politically, consult together; promote each other economically, develop together; learn from each other culturally, prosper together; trust each other in security, maintain it together. We hope and believe that the 21st century should and can become an era where the civilizations of all countries and regions are compatible and economies thrive together. The fundamental interests of the Chinese people are consistent with the fundamental interests of people around the world. China's foreign policy aims to safeguard the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people. The image China presents in international affairs is one of justice, democracy, peace, and progress. Looking back at the international situation of the past year and providing a relatively comprehensive and systematic introduction to Chinese diplomacy are the goals that "Chinese Diplomacy" strives to achieve. Careful readers may notice that the editors of the book have made new attempts in this regard this year.
