Features: Regarding the year 2000, some said it was a year when Third World movements and organizations experienced a resurgence. The evidence is that the Group of 77 and the Non-Aligned Movement held significant conferences and declarations in this year. China, as the largest developing country, held a high-level dialogue with African countries at the end of the year, which some called the "Second Bandung Conference." Some said it was a year of UN reform; others said it was a year of sustained high growth in the "new economy"; some said it was a year of rapid development in regionalism; and still others said it was a year when the "Third Way" significantly emerged. And what about the year 2001?
