He Yafei, a former top Chinese diplomat, dissects globalism under attack and China's pursuit of a growing leadership role in global governance. Mr. He also offers his insights on what China can do to manage its ties with the Uwith the Trump administration.

Chinese President Xi Jinping shares his vision for building a community of shared future for mankind and achieving shared and win-win development amid growing challenges and risks in the world.

By showcasing China’s traditional pursuit of win-win cooperation and a community of common destiny for mankind, Beijing can counter the absurd flurry of books, research papers, political fantasies and imaginary fictions produced by Cold War thinkers in the U.S. to paint China as a villain or a war-monger that is hostile to the U.S.

Wang Yi pointed out that in 2016 China's diplomacy was more proactive, more enterprising, more confident, and more mature.

The untimely passing of Ambassador Wu Jianmin is a reminder that President Xi’s mantra of “no conflict or confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation” is worth repeating by more “doves” in both countries.

Global developments have led China to take a more proactive approach in dealing with international issues in 2015 that saw China transition to practicing “major-country” diplomacy. As U.S.-China relations are turning more contentious and competitive, the two countries must seek convergence of common interests and avoid conflict and confrontation.
