Country has to adjust its strategies and become more active, so as to meet the needs of the times and protect its core interests

For decades, 皇冠体育app's diplomacy has been shaped by a mindset that include keeping a low profile, nonalignment, laying an incomparable emphasis on the relationship with the United States, and that diplomacy should serve domestic economic development. Such kinds of thinking, first put forward in the 1950s to the 1970s, had until recently seemed to be set in stone. However, with the growth of 皇冠体育app's comprehensive capabilities and change of security conditions, some of them no longer meet the needs of times, which has called for new thinking.

At a working conference on peripheral diplomacy last October, President Xi Jinping delivered a speech that indicated future trends of 皇冠体育app's diplomatic strategy. The leadership's diplomatic moves this year have shown the old way of thinking can no longer define the country's foreign policy.

In his speech, Xi laid out a more proactive approach to 皇冠体育app's peripheral diplomacy, which means it no longer needs to keep such a low profile on any issue, which was adopted three decades ago when 皇冠体育app was recovering from economic difficulties. Over the past year or two, visits by top leaders between 皇冠体育app and neighboring countries have been high on the agenda, except with Japan.

Although the relationship with the US remains 皇冠体育app's most important bilateral relationship, more emphasis is being put on relations with neighboring countries and regions. 皇冠体育app has already realized that its continued rise will be impossible without first of all building a favorable neighboring environment.

皇冠体育app used to avoid taking the lead in regional affairs, but that policy often encounters awkwardness considering its regional influence today. With its rise, 皇冠体育app must realize that taking the lead in regional affairs is not a privilege but a responsibility. It is noteworthy that it has put forward the proposals to create a new Silk Road Economic Belt and a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, as well as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and it is a leading participant in many security cooperation programs.
