A empowerment-oriented major country, embracing a vision of pursuing benefits for all under heaven, taking practical and feasible actions, and shouldering the responsibility of benefiting oneself while helping others thrive, has increasingly become an anchor of moral integrity, a source of confidence, and a beacon of hope.
China takes the lead in honoring its word, valuing friendship, upholding justice, and championing integrity, continuously injecting peaceful and positive energy into a turbulent world. It is increasingly regarded by all countries as a stabilizer in a volatile world.
Recently, China has once again witnessed a wave of foreign visits. Leaders from multiple countries have visited China in quick succession, unanimously extending their itineraries to the vast expanse of the country.
General Secretary and President of Vietnam, To Lam, visited Xiong'an to see how China is building a city of the future and traveled by high-speed rail to Guangxi for a tour; Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi watched excavators perform precision feats like threading needles and stacking wine glasses in Changsha, Hunan, sensing the pulse of China's smart manufacturing development; Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited Xiaomi Science Park and experienced Xiaomi electric vehicles on-site...
To understand China, the key lies in understanding Chinese modernization. From witnessing the implementation of national strategies, to visiting hubs of technological innovation, and experiencing a thriving way of life, the world's "look east" trend reflects the vitality and strong appeal of Chinese modernization.
This appeal is economically manifested as a cooperative force for mutual benefit and win-win results.
China’s development is an opportunity for the world. Coincidentally, the recent wave of visits has coincided with two major international economic and trade events. By the Pearl River, the 139th Canton Fair saw over 32,000 participating enterprises, including more than 11,000 high-quality ones recognized as specialized, sophisticated, unique, or leading in their fields. By the South China Sea, the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo gathered over 3,400 brands from more than 60 countries and regions. These events showcase an open China that "spares no distance for mountains and seas" and a responsible China that "shares opportunities and achieves win-win outcomes through open development."
More importantly, China’s opening-up policies are consistent and stable, making "walking with China means walking with opportunities" a predictable certainty. Events like the China International Import Expo, China International Fair for Trade in Services, and Global Digital Trade Expo are held annually. The negative list for foreign investment access continues to shrink, and the environment for inbound consumption keeps improving... Facts prove that China has the confidence to achieve high-quality development and the vision to share development opportunities with the world through high-standard opening-up. As the UK’s Financial Times put it: "China is becoming the most reliable long-term partner."
This appeal, in the process of modernization, is an empowering force for benefiting oneself and others.
Scholars note that unlike some Western countries that "pull down the ladder" for others, China, while developing itself, is willing to "pass up the ladder" to help other countries "climb up." Taking green development as an example, China is both a leader and an enabler. In Spain, Chery has partnered with a local established automaker to reopen an idle factory, creating thousands of jobs and setting a benchmark for Spain’s reindustrialization. In Germany, CATL has built a battery factory in Arnstadt, Thuringia, revitalizing the traditional automotive hub and making it a center for battery production and R&D in Germany and Europe.
China develops itself through Chinese modernization and empowers the world with its own development. An empowerment-oriented major country, embracing a vision of pursuing benefits for all under heaven, taking practical and feasible actions, and shouldering the responsibility of benefiting oneself while helping others thrive, has increasingly become an anchor of moral integrity, a source of confidence, and a beacon of hope.
This appeal, in international politics, is a shaping force for the global order.
Today’s world is fraught with chaos, with worsening deficits in peace, development, security, and governance. Amid turbulent Middle East dynamics, China has put forward four proposals to uphold and promote peace and stability in the region. Against trade barriers and decoupling by certain countries, China firmly defends a fair and open international economic and trade order. When multilateralism faces severe challenges, China has proposed global governance initiatives... China takes the lead in honoring its word, valuing friendship, upholding justice, and championing integrity, continuously injecting peaceful and positive energy into a turbulent world. It is increasingly regarded by all countries as a stabilizer in a volatile world.
Chinese modernization is a modernization path of peaceful development. The wave of foreign visits reflects the international community’s high recognition of China’s consistent commitment to true multilateralism and its role in providing stability and certainty to the world.
During his visit, Prime Minister Sánchez specifically mentioned a map in a speech—the world map brought by Matteo Ricci when he came to China, which was Eurocentric with Asia marginalized, reflecting obvious bias. He urged that over 400 years later, the world should not be viewed through a "distorted map." The continuous appeal of Chinese modernization will drive countries to enhance mutual understanding, eliminate prejudices, embark on the path of modernization together, and stride toward building a global community of shared future.
