Yuan Peng

Abstract: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a new generation of Chinese leadership with Xi Jinping as its core has presented a series of thought, theory, concept and initiative. The whole set of structural organizations has enriched Chinese foreign strategy layout. The construction of Belt and Road Initiative, solution of territorial sovereignty disputes, innovation of head-of-state diplomacy have constituted China’s international strategic thought and layout for a new era. Three historical achievements have laid an important foundation for China to march forward from a regional power to a strong global state. The particular environment for China’s rise has determined that it was difficult to solve certain structural problems and some new issues would appear. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China configures higher goals and tougher tasks for China’s international strategy in a new era. Theory and practice innovation for China’s international strategy is needed.

Dong Lang Area Standoff and the Future of Sino-India Relations

Hu Shisheng

Abstract: Dong Lang Area (Doklam) Standoff, a crisis created mainly by New Delhi on purpose, was the first large-scale military confrontation maneuvered between India and China ever since 1987. The crisis was not only the negative development of accumulated bilateral differences and conflicts in recent years, but also the latest demonstration of mutual strategic mistrust between the two countries. It indicates that Sino-Indian relations are entering a new era, in which structural differences and contradictions between China and India are much more acute, much more prevailing over the bilateral complementarities.

Keywords: Dong Lang Area Standoff; Sino-India relations

A New South-North Setup and China’s Peaceful Rise: A Study on the Dynamic Change of G20 Countries’ Comprehensive National Strength

Hu Angang & Wang Hongchuan

Abstract: The authors try to analyze G20’s major countries’ dynamic change regarding their comprehensive national strength from 2000 to 2015. There is a new global economic setup of a rising South and a declining North, where China, India, and Indonesia leads the South and the EU, the US and Japan are the main declining countries (or regions) of the North. Becoming the number one trade partner with over half of the G20 countries, China lays a favorable groundwork for its peaceful rise. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party leadership led by President Xi Jinping has been actively visiting the world’s important countries, creating an unprecedented opening of an inter-nation harmony for China’s peaceful rise. The future global environment will offer more opportunities than challenges for China’s peaceful rise.

Zhang Mei

Abstract: The fast development of China has drawn a lot of attention from international community. The public diplomacy in overseas Chinese affairs is shouldering an important historical mission to guide the international community to understand China’s rejuvenation so as to create a favorable international environment for China’s peaceful development. Since China is a big country with rich overseas Chinese resources, overseas Chinese possess many advantages of public diplomacy. However, there is a lack of top-level design, the public diplomacy in overseas Chinese affairs faces many problems. In the future, the public diplomacy in overseas Chinese affairs will play a more important role in promoting the development of China’s foreign relations.
