It is a kind invitation to friendly neighbors and a strategic plan for diplomacy of major powers. In the spring of 2025, the Chinese head of state visited the surrounding area for the first time.

From April 14 to 18, President Xi Jinping visited the three Southeast Asian countries in Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia, and displayed a magnificent picture of friendship, sincerity and favorability among the vast mountains and seas.

Those who are good at doing things are also good at planning. Before departure, the Central Peripheral Work Conference was held in Beijing. Under the new situation of deep linkage between the surrounding pattern and the changes in the world, it sounded the clarion call of "focusing on building a community with a shared future in the surrounding areas and striving to create a new situation in surrounding work."

Today, China and Asia are facing changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history. China examines its surroundings from a global perspective, and the world also distinguishes the general trend and the future through the interaction between China and its surroundings.

Hegemony and power undermine international norms, and how big powers treat other countries and neighboring countries has become a prominent proposition in international relations. As a global power with many neighboring countries, what kind of good neighborliness will China solve the problem?

Unilateralism and protectionism impact the multilateral trading system and undermine the global economic order. As the world's second largest economy and an important engine of global growth, what kind of cooperation will China break the deadlock?

The global south has entered a new "awakening era", and the world's multipolarization tide is becoming increasingly surging. As an Eastern power with a civilization of 5,000 years, what kind of civilization will China use to adapt to the situation, respond to the situation and become the situation?

The journey of the great way is the public. From President Xi Jinping’s trip to Southeast Asia, the international community saw a China answer sheet shining with Eastern wisdom.

(1) The Way of Good Neighborliness: Let history connect the future

From "China's Tang Dynasty, members of the Zhenla royal family visited Chang'an, China", to "More than 600 years ago, Zheng He, a navigator of the Ming Dynasty, visited Malacca five times in seven ocean voyages", to "working together to save the nation and sow revolutionary sparks" since modern times... During the visit, President Xi Jinping told stories of friendship that were frozen in the years.

Draw wisdom and strength to create the future from history. The head of state diplomacy guided the rudder, and the ship of friendship between China and Vietnam, China and Malaysia entered a wider and brighter channel of the times.

In China and Vietnam, the traditional friendship between "comrades and brothers" has become stronger and stronger over time.

In Hanoi in spring, red has become the "city color". At the airport, there are traditional red drums that are beating happily; along the way, there are red banners wishing "China-Vietnam friendship will last forever"; in the Chairman's House Square, there are hundreds of lively young men wearing red scarves and red clothes, waving the five-star red flag and the red flag of Venus, and their bright smiles bloomed with beautiful flowers of hope.

On the first day of the event, General Secretary Xi Jinping and General Secretary Su Lin both wore red tie. "Hello Comrade Xi Jinping!" "Meet again!" Smile and shook hands tightly. In less than a year, the general secretaries of the two parties made mutual visits. Vietnam fired 21 cannons at the World Cultural Heritage Site Shenglong Imperial City, paying tribute to the visit of the top leaders of the Chinese Party and the country, and also celebrating the most important diplomatic event this year.

On April 14, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping arrived in Hanoi to pay a state visit to Vietnam. On the afternoon of the same day, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Su Lin held a grand welcome ceremony for Xi Jinping.

After more than 20 hours of visit to Vietnam, General Secretary Xi Jinping held talks with General Secretary Su Lin, President Liang Qiang, Premier Fan Mingzheng and President Chen Qingmin, and exchanged in-depth views on the overall, strategic and directional issues of the relationship between the two parties and the two countries. "Objective requirements", "strategic choice" and "first priority", General Secretary Su Lin used three words to explain the importance of relations with China.

"Close comrades and great friends" is the kind title that Vietnamese leaders call General Secretary Xi Jinping. General Secretary Su Lin invited General Secretary Xi Jinping to tea and talk twice. President Liang Qiang and Premier Fan Mingzheng went to the airport to welcome and see off. Each special gift was filled with respect. From the Vietnamese Presidential Office to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, from Bating Square to Neipai International Airport, we walked side by side again and again, and hugged each other enthusiastically again and again, "Vietnam-China has deep friendship, comrades and brothers" are concrete and vivid.

In China and Malaysia, the friendship between generations of "slashing water continuously" is becoming deeper and deeper.

Kuala Lumpur, which blends ancient and modern charms, is even more colorful due to the arrival of Chinese VIPs. The Eastern Aboriginal actors danced enthusiastic ethnic dances, and the Chinese school wind band played classic Malay ballads. When we arrived, the rain had just stopped, and when we entered the residence, there were already thousands of lights. The Chinese-Malaysian flag light show at the Twin Towers of Kuala Lumpur illuminated the sky.

The national palace built along the mountain has a tall palm. President Xi Jinping and Ibrahim's Supreme Head of State climbed up to look into the distance and stood side by side on the reviewing stand of the Palace Square. The golden palace dome and the majestic royal guard of honor blend with the oncoming modern weather in Kuala Lumpur. The Supreme Head of State of Ibrahim said that President Xi Jinping's state visit to Malaysia is a major event in Malaysia-China relations and fully demonstrates the high level of bilateral relations.

During his visits to Malaysia twice in 2013 and 2025, President Xi Jinping quoted the Malay proverb "Stealing Water" to describe the friendship between China and Malaysia. The friendship is strong, and Prime Minister Anwar accompanied President Xi Jinping's entire trip to Malaysia for all activities. In every show, he immediately posted a message on social media and accompanied it with a Chinese song. Welcoming President Xi Jinping at the airport was "My Good Brothers".

China and Cambodia have an unbreakable hard-core friendship.

The familiar scent of jasmine flowers hits my face. He went to the airport to welcome foreign guests for the first time in 20 years of ascending the throne and held a welcoming ceremony at the airport for the first time. In order to welcome President Xi Jinping's re-visit, King Sihamoni made unprecedented concierge arrangements. Princess Jenna, a member of the royal family, presented Xinya's jasmine bracelet, and 24 young females scattered the jasmine petals soaked in the golden cup to the red carpet.

On the morning of April 17 local time, President Xi Jinping arrived in Phnom Penh by special plane and paid a state visit to Cambodia at the invitation of King Sihamoni of Cambodia. Sihamoni held a grand welcoming ceremony for Xi Jinping at the airport. This is Xi Jinping reviewing the guard of honor accompanied by Sihamoni. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Xie Huanchi

More than 20,000 people welcomed the crowd to run all the way from the airport. Next to Sihanouk Avenue, huge photos of President Xi Jinping and King Sihamoni stand out. The leaping national flag, the dancing lion, and the red banner "Long live friendship, unity and cooperation between Cambodia and China!" are connected into a gorgeous friendship scroll.

In 2020, President Xi Jinping awarded the "Medal of Friendship" of the People's Republic of China to Queen Mother Monile at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing; during this visit, King Sihamoni invited President Xi Jinping to the Golden Palace of Phnom Penh and awarded the "Great Friends" the "Royal of Cambodia's National Independence Medal". On the red velvet cloth, the golden medal shines brightly, carrying the deep friendship between the Cambodian people and the Chinese people.

In the palace of Quintapoppa, I met with Queen Mother Monile. President Xi Jinping brought her favorite flower cake: "China is your second home, welcome to come to China at any time." During the visit, the moving past of the older generation of leaders of the two countries forming and cultivating China-Cambodia friendship was remembered again and again. At the welcome banquet, the music composed by Sihanoukh Taihuang personally circulated the friendship between China and Cambodia always lingered in the banquet.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the story of Prince Hun Sen's "retrograde" in the snow has become a good story of friendship between China and Cambodia. This time, he went to the airport to welcome and see President Xi Jinping as the new identity of the People's Party Chairman and the Senate Chairman. In addition to the meeting, President Xi Jinping was specially invited to have breakfast, and Prime Minister Hongmane, Deputy Prime Minister Hongmane and Deputy Commander Hongmane also attended. "China is Cambodia's most reliable and trustworthy friend," Prime Minister Honmanai said during talks with President Xi Jinping.

As the new era of major power diplomacy begins, President Xi Jinping has insight into the times and put forward the concept of friendly, sincere, favorable and inclusive diplomacy. In recent years, we have walked along this road, traveled through wind and rain, and walked out of a new world. China's influence and appeal in the surrounding areas have been historicly enhanced, and its relations with neighboring countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia have achieved leapfrog development.

As the world becomes more and more chaotic, people are paying attention to President Xi Jinping's trip to Southeast Asia. I am thinking and exploring: What is the way of good neighborliness in China? What can people understand and learn from it?

The answer is written in the frequent interactions of "like visiting relatives" and in the broad and grandeur of "Have your relatives good, and your neighbors good".

As the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the 80th anniversary of the founding of Vietnam and the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South, General Secretary Xi Jinping extended warm congratulations to Vietnam and was very happy for the gratifying achievements in Vietnam's socialist industrialization and modernization construction.

During talks with Prime Minister Anwar, President Xi Jinping sincerely congratulated Prime Minister Anwar on his advocacy of "Changming Malaysia" becoming increasingly beautiful.

On the occasion of the Cambodian New Year's visit, President Xi Jinping extended New Year's greetings to the Cambodian people. He said that he believed that the hardworking and wise Cambodian people would be able to build the country more prosperous and strong.

During the visit, a word - "model", was repeatedly mentioned: China and Vietnam are a model of unity and cooperation among socialist countries. China and Malaysia have set an example of relations between countries, and China and Cambodia have set an example of equality, sincere mutual trust, and mutual benefit and win-win situations in countries of all sizes... Prime Minister Anwar expressed his feelings: China is a powerful economy, but Malaysia has never felt pressure in its relationship with China, but has gained equality and respect.

Let’s take a look at the three joint statements issued during the visit:

The Sino-Vietnam Joint Statement, the theme word "accelerate the construction of a strategically significant China-Vietnam community with a shared future." Over the past year, from "building a community of shared future between China and Vietnam with strategic significance" to "promoting the construction of a community of shared future between China and Vietnam with strategic significance", to "accelerating the construction of a community of shared future between China and Vietnam with strategic significance"... At the time node of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam, General Secretary Xi Jinping and Vietnamese leaders have reconfirmed and accelerated the construction of a community of shared future between China and Vietnam.

China-Malaysia Joint Statement, the theme word "build a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future." In 2023, President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Anwar reached an important consensus on jointly building a community with a shared future between China and Malaysia; two years later, the relationship between the two countries leaped again, opening up a new "golden 50 years" of China-Malaysia relations with a new positioning.

The China-Cambodia Joint Statement, the theme word "building an all-weather community of shared future between China and Cambodia in the new era." From being the first to sign the action plan to build a community with a shared future to being the first to build a community with a shared future in the new era at the bilateral level, China and Cambodia have always been at the forefront of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Both sides also announced that 2025 is the "China-Cambodia Tourism Year".

During the visit, a "people's gathering" was profound.

Students, engineers, entrepreneurs, college student village officials, sports and art workers... The new forces of China-Vietnam friendship gathered from all directions. On the 15th, at the Hanoi International Conference Center, General Secretary Xi Jinping, General Secretary Su Lin and President Liang Qiang, met with representatives of the China-Vietnam People's Gala, and launched the "red study tour" of Vietnamese youth to China.

This sentence that General Secretary Xi Jinping said is firmly remembered in everyone's heart: "This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam and the 'China-Vietnam Cultural Exchange Year'. Let us continue the traditional friendship and bring together the trickle stream of friendship between the two peoples into a surging river of friendship between China and Vietnam, and make new and greater contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and building a better world."

Before the event, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum accompanied by General Secretary Su Lin and laid wreaths, and watched the photo exhibition of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam accompanied by General Secretary Su Lin and President Liang Qiang. Photos of the interactions between leaders of the two parties and countries in China and Vietnam connect unforgettable years and magnificent journey.

China's close friendship with neighboring countries is the choice of history and the choice of the people. Let history connect the future, from mountains and rivers to sharing destiny.

(2) The way to cooperation: use regional linkage to global

45, 26, 37. During the visit, China signed a total of 108 cooperation texts with Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia.

When the "record" cooperation results were finalized, there was another good news from China: China's economy achieved a 5.4% growth in the first quarter of this year.

"108" and "5.4%", the two data once again prove the strong vitality of open cooperation. International media commented that during the turbulent times of the world, China showed its image as a responsible major power and became a "source of stability and certainty."

The three handshake scenes are lingering for a long time.

On the long tables on both sides, 45 cooperation texts were placed one by one, and there were three rows of them. Regarding interconnection, artificial intelligence, culture and sports, and human resources development... General Secretary Xi Jinping and General Secretary Su Lin were watching and talking.

On the afternoon of April 14, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi Jinping held talks with General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Su Lin at the CPC Central Committee's headquarters. This is after the talks, the general secretaries of the two parties jointly witnessed the display of 45 bilateral cooperation texts signed by China and Vietnam.

During his talks with General Secretary Su Lin, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed six measures to deepen the construction of a community with a shared future for China and Vietnam: to enhance higher level of strategic mutual trust, build a stronger security barrier, expand higher quality of mutually beneficial cooperation, strengthen broader public opinion ties, carry out closer multilateral cooperation, and achieve more benign maritime interaction. These 45 cooperative texts depict the "construction drawing" for the construction of a community with a shared future between China and Vietnam in the future.

After watching the cooperation text exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed: "Let's shake hands." General Secretary Su Lin immediately responded enthusiastically. Behind are the magnificent flag formation and in front of them is a bright future. The camera freezes the new "highlight moment" of two socialist friendly neighbors on the journey of modernization.

"Conversation in Civilizations in the Republic of China", digital economy, service trade, upgrade and development of "two countries and two parks", giant panda protection... one cooperation project after another is dazzling. One of the agreements on mutual visa exemption has paid special attention to the people of both countries.

"Adhere to strategic autonomy and carry out high-level strategic cooperation", "Gather development synergy and build a benchmark for high-quality development cooperation", "Inheriting friendship from generation to generation and deepening exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations", President Xi Jinping put forward three opinions on building a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future. It is all for the people of both countries to take action and to implement it.

Production and supply chain cooperation, artificial intelligence cooperation, development assistance cooperation, customs inspection and quarantine cooperation... Representatives of both sides walked onto the red square blanket in the center of the hall again and again to exchange cooperation texts. Deepen higher-level political mutual trust, expand higher-quality mutually beneficial cooperation, build higher-level security guarantees, carry out higher-frequency cultural exchanges, and strengthen higher-standard strategic cooperation, and make efforts from the five major areas, and move China-Cambodia relations to a higher level.

At the end of the ceremony, President Xi Jinping shook hands with Prime Minister Hongmanai. It is the docking of development strategies, the sharing of development opportunities, and the common writing of a new chapter of development.

The construction of the Funan Dezho Comprehensive Water Conservancy Project is Cambodia's century-old dream. China fully understands Cambodia's concerns and provides necessary support. The two cooperation plans of "Industrial Development Corridor" and "Fish-Rice Corridor" formulated by Cambodia are accelerated, and the China-Cambodia "Diamond Six-Side" cooperation structure has been further enriched.

Along the Red River, a fertile land of thousands of miles, on the Malay Peninsula where the construction site is busy, and on the banks of the Mekong River, looking far away, a wave of great openness, cooperation and exchanges are surging. Vietnamese chili and Malaysian coconuts have obtained "entry tickets" to the Chinese people's dining tables. China's commercial aircraft and 5G technology have obtained new orders in the Southeast Asian market. China-Vietnam and China-Cambodia youth are rushing in both directions more frequently. Universities from China and Malaysia have begun to build joint laboratories...

China's cooperation with Southeast Asian countries has become more "deeper" and "newer" - this is an interpretation of the results of President Xi Jinping's visit by overseas observers.

What is more "deep" is the trust between each other. Neighborhood, safe neighbors, and rich neighbors. Neighborhood countries see China's every word and deed, and their cognitive dimensions of China are constantly expanding: China is not only a key trading partner and investment source country, but also an important partner in strategic communication and political security cooperation.

During the visit, China and Vietnam decided to identify the "3 3" strategic dialogue mechanism between the two countries' diplomacy, national defense and public security as ministerial level. China and Malaysia agreed to establish a "2 2" dialogue mechanism between diplomacy and national defense, and China and Cambodia decided to establish a "2 2" strategic dialogue mechanism between the Foreign Minister and Defense Minister.

What is "newer" is the area of ​​bilateral cooperation. The joint statement of China-Vietnam, China-Malaysia and China-Cambodia all mentioned "new quality productivity": China-Vietnam "agrees to build a more extensive and in-depth all-round cooperation pattern with China's development of new quality productivity and Vietnam's development of new productive forces as an opportunity." China-Malaysia "agrees to jointly commit to building a regional new quality productivity cooperation highland", and China-Cambodia "promotes joint research, technology transfer, innovation and entrepreneurship and other cooperation, and cultivates new quality productivity"...

In a signed article published in Vietnamese media, General Secretary Xi Jinping mentioned the "China's new energy industry, artificial intelligence and animation film and television" that attracted global attention. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is coming, and more and more countries "see the future in China", hoping to get help from China and choose to work hand in hand with China.

When representatives of the China-Vietnam People's Congress party gathered, Chen Guangying, vice president of Vietnam University of Posts and Telecommunications, told General Secretary Xi Jinping his "Tsinghua Story". During his studies at Tsinghua University, he remembered the beautiful lotus pond and was nourished by the spirit of the school motto "Self-improvement and virtue carrying things". Now, as an information technology expert, he "looks very much on strengthening cooperation with Chinese universities in the fields of artificial intelligence and big data."

The diplomacy of a major country has a detailed writing and a comprehensive plan.

During the visit, General Secretary Xi Jinping, General Secretary Su Lin and Prime Minister Fan Mingzheng jointly witnessed the launch of the China-Vietnam Railway Cooperation Mechanism. The comprehensive connectivity of China-Vietnam standard railroads will further expand the grand picture of regional connectivity. From the China-Laos Railway to the China-Thailand Railway, from the Indonesian Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway to the Malaysian East Coast Railway, riding on the east wind of jointly building the "Belt and Road", the grand vision of the Pan-Asian Railway Network has become a reality bit by bit.

One is the world's second largest economy and the other is the world's fifth largest economy. China and ASEAN have connected to a super-large market with a population of more than 2 billion. Once regarded as the "marginalist" of the world system, now it has the energy and potential to jointly influence the direction of economic globalization.

Malaysia, this year's rotating presidency of ASEAN and a coordinating country of China-ASEAN relations. This passage from President Xi Jinping to Prime Minister Anwar has great significance beyond bilateralism: "China supports Malaysia to play the role of ASEAN as a rotating presidency and is willing to work with regional countries to sign the China-ASEAN Free Trade Zone upgrade protocol as soon as possible, resist 'decoupling and breaking chains', 'small courtyards and high walls' and excessive tariffs with the Asian values ​​of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, and respond to the jungle law of the prey on the weak with the stability and certainty of Asia, and respond to the instability and uncertainty of the world with the stability and certainty of Asia."

"The lonely boat cannot withstand the storm, and only by working together can we move forward steadily." The power of unity and cooperation continues to gather.

General Secretary Su Lin said that General Secretary Xi Jinping’s visit has enhanced Vietnam’s confidence in overcoming risks and challenges and advancing the cause of socialism, and is willing to strengthen coordination with China and safeguard international trade rules.

Prime Minister Anwar said that China brings not only stability, but also lasting hope. ASEAN does not agree with any unilateral imposition of tariffs and will jointly strengthen itself through cooperation and maintain economic growth.

Prime Minister Honmanai sighed that in the situation where unilateralism caused turmoil in the world and the multilateral trading system was impacted, China played a leading role and provided valuable certainty for the world.

(III) The Way of Civilization: Let the East enlighten the world

On the evening of the 16th, the banquet hall of the Malaysian Prime Minister's Residence was brightly lit, and Prime Minister Anwar held a grand welcome dinner for President Xi Jinping. Actors representing the Malay, Chinese and Indian ethnic groups dance ethnic dances and welcome Chinese VIPs.

It is a feast of friendship and a dialogue of civilization.

Prime Minister Anwar has studied the Analects of Confucius and is committed to promoting mutual learning between Islamic civilization and Confucian civilization. In his speech at the dinner, he talked about his understanding of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by President Xi Jinping: "This reminds me of the famous saying in the Analects of Confucius: There are brothers in the world."

This visit is the third meeting between President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Anwar. In each conversation, outside of political relations and economic cooperation, both leaders exchange their respective philosophical thoughts. The talk is getting deeper and more resonant. Prime Minister Anwar said: "President Xi Jinping is not only an outstanding political leader, but also a well-versed approach to economic development, and a great man with a clear vision and understanding the value of civilization."

Southeast Asia, where the two oceans embrace each other, has been a "multi-civilized world" since ancient times. Looking at the whole of Asia, it is also colorful. Such geographical, cultural and historical experiences have accumulated and formed Asian values ​​of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness.

Adhering to such values, Asian countries have embarked on an Asian-style development path of independence, mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit, openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation in the process of modernization, and have also created an Asian way of mutual respect, consensus, and care for the comfort of all parties.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam is located in the fragrance of tea. General Secretary Su Lin invited General Secretary Xi Jinping to have a small tea talk. From party style building to deepening reform and then to modernization, the general secretaries of the two parties have had in-depth exchanges on the concept of governing the party and the country, and agreed to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning and jointly follow the path of socialism.

In the meeting hall of the Malaysian National Palace, President Xi Jinping and the Supreme Head of Ibrahim talked about the "people". The Sino-Malaysian joint statement wrote this sentence: "Both sides uphold the people-centered development concept and will expand cooperation in poverty reduction and poverty alleviation, agriculture and rural revitalization."

Asia is the forefront of the collective rise of emerging economies and developing countries, and China is an important engine of this area. When the world's multipolarization, economic globalization and civilization diversification are surging, the world is looking forward to the "Asian wisdom" and "China solution" to respond to the situation.

China's concepts and China's initiatives have been heatedly discussed and widely recognized in Southeast Asia.

General Secretary Su Lin said that Vietnam supports General Secretary Xi Jinping’s concept of a community with a shared future for mankind and the three global initiatives, and highly appreciates the CPC Central Committee’s peripheral work meeting to determine the vision of building a “five major garden” with neighboring countries and adhere to the policy of good neighborhood security and wealth.

In Prime Minister Anwar’s view, a series of global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping embodies a unique way of looking at the world: “The Global Development Initiative emphasizes inclusive progress, the Global Security Initiative calls for peace through dialogue, and the Global Civilization Initiative proposes that respect for differences is not a barrier to harmony, but its premise.”

The "Three Major Global Initiatives" have become a core keyword in the China-Cambodia joint statement. How to implement the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative, the two sides listed 12, 9 and 10 action directions respectively.

"Standing at a new starting point for Asia to achieve overall revitalization, China will adhere to the concept of friendship, sincerity, favor and inclusiveness and the policy of being kind to neighbors and taking neighbors as partners, maintain the continuity and stability of neighboring foreign policies, deepen friendly cooperation with neighboring countries, let the achievements of Chinese-style modernization benefit the surrounding areas more, promote the building of a community with a shared future in the surrounding areas, and work together to promote the process of modernization in Asia."

Surrounding the country, China's place of survival and foundation for development and prosperity. Here, the solid steps of pioneering and practicing diplomacy in major powers, and the moving story of China and its neighbors join hands toward modernization. In the spring of 2025, President Xi Jinping's trip to Southeast Asia was a complete success, and his Chinese-style diplomacy with great powers on the new journey wrote a new and exciting mark. Starting from the surrounding area, the broad road of a community with a shared future for mankind has a magnificent future...
