Features: This book expresses the author's concerns as an international issues researcher facing the situation of "world imbalance and American anomie" after the September 11th incident, showcasing the exploration of a young Chinese scholar on the relationship between "China in the world" and "the world in China." It is a crystallization of the author's recent reflections on international political issues, with many of its articles having been published in mainstream media both domestically and internationally, attracting widespread attention. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on discussing the world order centered around the United States and the challenges it faces, offering the author's perspectives on some pressing and severe issues in Chinese diplomacy. The second part is dedicated to China-related topics, covering aspects such as China-U.S. relations, China-Japan relations, and China-Europe relations. The author argues that China's relationship with the external world should be examined from a new, pluralistic, and interactive perspective—“China in the world and the world in China"—to expand the space for China's development. The third part is titled "Scholars Look at the World," featuring articles that demonstrate the knowledge and mindset an international relations scholar should possess in the midst of the complex and ever-changing relationships in the world.
