Chinese Diplomacy towards Its Neighbors： Inheritance,Innovation and Development

Ibelieve that China＇s diplomatic strategy towards its neighbors should serve the general strategic goal of rejuvenating the Chinese nation asenvisioned in President Xi Jinping＇s ＂China Dream＂. It has clear precedence and should be adjusted as the situation evolves. The fundamental goals of China＇s diplomatic strategy, since the implementation of Reform and Opening-Up, have been economic construction and the building and maintenance of a peaceful international and regional environment.     

Chinese Public Diplomacy toward Europe： Goals, Progress and Challenges

As a leader of international public opinion, Europe often dictates the Western view of China. Unfortunately, Europe has long been one of the regions that hold the most unfavorable view of China.

Since Chinese public diplomacy has not yet achieved encouraging results in Europe, China has to review and improve its efforts.
