Chp5 China relationship in the world

As developing country, China is developing rapidly and becoming more and more by the world attention. In the world, countries are woven together with growing and interdependence. China is the world's second largest economy but not the second strongest country. For example there are 1.3billion people in the country lead to the worthless labor force. In the other way to think about it that it is there are many rich people in China and also there are more poor people in the country. It doesn’t have a balance in the country so most of factors lead to China cannot be the second strongest country. Nothing is more important for china than the wellbeing of the 1.3billion people. If someday 1.3 billion people all get the better life in the future, the Chinese government did a good job for the country. When this problem solve, China will progress a lot. At that time China also has their ability to do “full stakeholder". China want to be a stronger country in the world but it still has many weak links. "It is not unwilling-but unable-to take on more international responsibilities and fully play the role of a major." (China's relations with the world at a new starting point) Since 2012, China's diplomacy accomplished a lot and became more active, vigorous and productive on all fronts. Many presidents of China began to visit other neighbor countries. These greatly boosted our traditional friendship, political trust and mutually beneficial cooperation with relevant countries. Some people say that China has not lived up to the responsibilities and obligations of a big country. I do not agree with that, I think that my country already did as much as better job with the foreign policy.

 

We believe that in an era when countries are increasingly interdependent, new ideas and approaches are required in handling international relations. In particular, big countries should not repeat the history of maximizing one's own interests, vying for sphere of influence, conducting arms race or competing viciously in a zero-sum game. Otherwise, we would be going against history and not being responsible to mankind. I appreciate the point recently made by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that we need to "find a new answer to the ancient question of what happens when an established power and a rising power meet". I think we already have the answer: win-win cooperation, which should be the hallmark of the new pattern of interaction between major countries. The bottom line is that we need to respect each other's core interests and major concerns, view each other's strategic intentions in an objective and rational way, properly manage differences, and avoid strategic misjudgement, mutual irritation and vicious competition. Rising powers do not challenge established powers, and established powers should accommodate rising powers. The China-US relationship is a good example. It is one of the most important, dynamic and promising bilateral relationships in the world. In the 21st century, the only choice for China and the United States is to accommodate each other and carry out win-win cooperation. Like it or not, China and the United States are destined to form a community of shared interests, responsibilities and destinies. I believe our two countries have the responsibility, ability and wisdom to forge a new type of relationship marked by sound interaction and win-win cooperation. In doing so, we will set an example for other major countries and for international relations in general.
