China’s diplomacy embodying President Xi Jinping’s diplomatic thoughts has offered Chinese solutions to global challenges and garnered plaudits worldwide over the past five years.

“Major-Country Diplomacy,” a six-episode feature documentary launched recently, has multi-dimensionally displayed China’s brilliant diplomatic achievements under Xi’s leadership since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012.

The five years have seen Chinese diplomatic efforts bear fruits, boosted by such innovative notions from Xi as building a community of shared future for mankind and the Belt and Road Initiative intended for the expansion of infrastructure and trade networks around the world.

Furthermore, there have been Chinese proposals for global governance reforms and Chinese wisdom presented in the country’s new development and security concepts.

Xi’s diplomatic efforts over the years, in line with China’s increasingly significant role in global affairs, manifest the willingness, capability and unique characteristics of a responsible major country.

The world’s second largest economy is moving closer day after day to the center stage of the global arena, taking an active role in various kinds of international affairs. More importantly, China’s role in and solutions to regional hotspots and global issues have been greeted with widespread welcome amid a sluggish global economy and challenges to world peace.

As shown in the documentary, China always stands for peace, stability and justice, remaining committed to peace, contributing to global development and maintaining international order.

A win-win cooperation approach, as highlighted in each of the documentary’s six episodes, supports China’s diplomatic efforts regardless of the size and strength of its partners.

An expanding partnership in different forms involving some 100 countries and international organizations enables China to boast a diversified and multi-dimensioned diplomacy.

Xi’s diplomacy has never deviated from the need to ensure common development and prosperity. China, while continuing its opening-up policy for its own growth, is never hesitant about sharing opportunities for development with other countries.
