Features: This book takes the international economic and political system and the rise of China's status within it as the main thread, exploring more than ten major themes related to China's international standing that occurred in the global economy and international relations in 2005. The book examines the formation and significance of China's role as a hub for factor accumulation in economic globalization, analyzes the transformation of the international system and China's path to peaceful development, cites positive assessments of the "China Effect" from scholars, business leaders, policymakers, and the media, and discusses the major significance of macroeconomic regulation and scientific practice for China's development path. The book broadly covers topics such as the economic development models and differences between China and India, the obstacles China faced in its "going global" strategy through cross-border mergers and acquisitions, trade friction between China and the U.S. and the EU over textiles, the reform of the RMB exchange rate and its impact, the new multi-level development framework in East Asian regional cooperation, the challenges and countermeasures China's economy faced amid rising oil prices, the new development of constructive cooperation between China and the U.S., the progress in the practical strategic partnership between China and the EU on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of their diplomatic relations, the roots of the current state of China-Japan relations and China's principled stance, China's attitude and vision regarding UN reforms, China's foreign policy of "enriching, harmonizing, friendly, and peaceful" neighbors in Central Asia, China's active participation in international cooperation to address non-traditional security threats, and the new trends in cross-strait relations. The book also uses a chronology to make the development and process of each theme clearer. Rich in content and systematic in analysis, the book emphasizes thoughtfulness and strategy, providing readers interested in international issues with a comprehensive understanding of China's foreign economic and political relations in 2005. It is also an important academic reference for researchers in the fields of the global economy and international politics.
