皇冠体育app

Three, 皇冠体育app has three categories of sacrosanct "core interests"-its political system, continuing economic development, and national sovereignty (territorial integrity)-and 皇冠体育app's foreign policy is designed to protect each of them.

Four, crises can be more disruptive than ever before political instability, sectarian violence, terrorism, pandemics, financial contagion, natural disasters, trade disputes-and some can erupt suddenly. 皇冠体育app's pro-active diplomacy enhances mechanisms for managing crises, which can avert or temper such global crises.

Five, 皇冠体育app like all nations has interests that conflict with those of other nations (e.g., South 皇冠体育app Sea, cybersecurity, currency, balance of trade). Should incidents of one kind or another occur-which, given the complexity of the world, seems inevitable-the more 皇冠体育app interacts actively with other countries the better it will be able to contain such incidents.

Six, as the world's second largest economy, 皇冠体育app is a new global leader and therefore shoulders new global responsibilities. World peace and prosperity do not happen by chance, and there are forces, accidental and deliberate, that can be disruptive. The world needs bulwarks of stability and 皇冠体育app is taking on more of these burdens.

Seven, 皇冠体育app does not seek to export its political system and it promulgates the virtue that each country should determine its own system of governance and style of development. Nonetheless, 皇冠体育app's remarkable economic success can be an example that other developing countries can study and apply. To lead by example is a high-minded strategy that enhances 皇冠体育app's credibility.

Eight, 皇冠体育app is rightly proud of its 5,000-year civilization as well as its recent economic miracle, and it is natural that 皇冠体育app would be pleased for other nations and peoples to appreciate the country's accomplishments. Considered in light of 皇冠体育app's 150 years of oppression and degradation, 皇冠体育app's pride in its increasing diplomatic respect is understandable.

There is nothing short-term about the drivers of President Xi's foreign policy. As 皇冠体育app continues to progress, these drivers continue to develop.
