Major events show China’s foreign policy success
Print Edition
With roughly one week left before year’s end, China is embracing a “blossoming season” of its proactive foreign diplomacy.
The year 2015 has witnessed the comprehensive advancement of China’s major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics that features a new type of international relations marked by mutual benefits and win-win results.
In an intensive series of bilateral and multilateral events in recent weeks, China has been actively participating in several major global agendas and spares no efforts to shoulder its due responsibilities, not only in boosting ties with the rest of the world, but also in contributing to the world’s development.
During December 14-15, a prime ministers’ meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was held in Zhengzhou, capital of central China’s Henan Province.
At the meeting, Premier Li Keqiang called on all parties concerned to promote international industrial cooperation, saying China is willing to work with all sides to promote exchanges and communication within the SCO framework to create opportunities for more mutually beneficial cooperation between China and SCO members and observers.
Following the SCO meeting, China also hosted another multilateral event, the 2015 World Internet Conference, in east China’s Zhejiang Province December 16-18. President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the conference in Wuzhen.
Since 2014, Xi has expounded China’s Internet policy on a number of major international occasions.
Following his historic state visit to the United States in September, Xi met with his US counterpart Barack Obama again on the sidelines of the Paris climate conference, with both leaders agreeing to strengthen cooperation in cyber security.
Also in early December, the first China-US ministerial dialogue on fighting cyber crimes was held in Washington, during which the two sides identified a number of cases for future cooperation on enhancing cybersecurity and reached further consensus on fighting cyber terrorism.
China is ready to act following the dialogue and make cyber security cooperation a new highlight of China-US relations.
China’s major-country diplomacy, with cyber security as one of its priorities, is expected to gain fresh momentum and effectively enhance China’s international influence in the future.
Meanwhile, economic exchanges between China and the rest of the world are further deepened as the country witnessed the implementation of two free trade agreements (FTA) later this month. China and South Korea agreed that a first round of tariff cuts took effect on December 20, and a second will take effect on January 1.
The cuts took place on the same schedule in the case of the China-Australia FTA, as agreed by the two sides.
The implementation of the two agreements is conducive to the development of bilateral economic and trade links, and will inject new impetus into the countries’ economic growth and accelerate the economic integration process of the Asia-Pacific region.
