On December 20, the annual Global Times forum, titled "The World Can Trust China: New Path, New Opportunities," took place in Beijing. Forum participants discussed the role of a forward-looking state and the importance of its predictability for the global community.

Zhu Feng, Dean of the School of International Studies at Nanjing University, stated that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's strategic choice has received widespread recognition and support in regional and even global politics. From the perspective of neighboring countries, China's reliability continues to strengthen.

Zhu Feng noted that the essence of China's strategic choice is to set an example to the world: "its own growth becomes the engine of shared peaceful prosperity." The influence of this choice in the international community is steadily growing.

Zhu Feng stated that, no matter the pressure exerted by the US, China remains firmly committed to the fundamental principle of peaceful development and mutually beneficial cooperation. China always strives to responsibly fulfill its domestic responsibilities while upholding the international governance system, rules, and order. With ASEAN as an example, this position has gained greater recognition and support. Even in the face of regressive US policies in the "trade war," China continues to seek consensus through dialogue, exchanges, and consultations, steadfastly advancing regional economic integration and open cooperation processes.

According to Zhu Feng, China's strategic choice includes several key aspects:

First, adhere to the development concept that puts people's interests first and promotes Chinese modernization.

Secondly, the fifteenth five-year plan will take scientific and technological innovation to new heights.

Third, China clearly rejects starting a “new Cold War” with the United States.

Fourth, China always strives to improve the happiness index of its people.

He believes that in the coming decades, China's image and voice will gain even greater real influence and appeal worldwide, offering the world a strategic choice that differs from traditional international relations theories and historical experience, combining Chinese characteristics and Chinese wisdom.

BEIJING, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) — A growing number of countries are supporting China by reaffirming their commitment to the one-China principle, recognizing Taiwan as an inalienable part of Chinese territory and opposing any separatist actions related to the island's so-called "independence," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee), made the remarks at a symposium on the international situation and Chinese diplomacy in 2025.

These countries express clear opposition to all separatist actions aimed at achieving “Taiwan independence” and support the great cause of China’s reunification, Wang Yi pointed out, adding that any attempts to impede this historical trend are doomed to failure.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation. Achieving the complete reunification of China is a historic mission we must fulfill, and it involves upholding national sovereignty and territorial integrity in accordance with the law, the Chinese Foreign Minister emphasized.

Reiterating that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair and lies at the core of its core interests, Wang Yi added that it is only natural for China to express firm opposition and take resolute countermeasures against the ongoing provocations by "Taiwan independence" forces and the massive arms sales to Taiwan by the United States. -0-

According to a number of foreign media outlets, the progressive and high-quality development of the Chinese economy, as well as its willingness to share with other countries the opportunities arising from scientific and technological innovation, will bring greater stability and certainty to the global economy.

Malaysia's The Star newspaper notes in its article that over the past decade, China has become deeply integrated into ASEAN's production and supply chains, becoming an indispensable link in the production of machinery and equipment, electronic products, and renewable energy equipment.

Relying on the huge domestic market size, perfect industrial and supply chain ecosystem, and continuous support for industrial upgrading, high-value-added products such as electric vehicles, solar panels, industrial robots, and lithium-ion batteries have become important export commodities for China, promoting industrial upgrading in relevant countries.

Algerian media outlet Silk Road News Network reports that China and Algeria are cooperating in areas such as communications, satellite technology and smart education, promoting the digitalization of cultural heritage and the development of creative industries, which is a clear demonstration of the vigor of China's open cooperation and innovative resilience.

The Kenyan newspaper The Star writes that in recent years, China has made significant advances in digital technology, artificial intelligence, and green manufacturing. China is a reliable partner and friend of Africa, and both sides hope to draw wisdom from each other's civilizational experiences to jointly chart a path to future development.

The Tanzanian newspaper The Citizen believes that China's initiative offers Tanzania enormous opportunities. It involves introducing zero tariffs on imports from 53 African countries that have diplomatic relations with China. For Tanzania, where agriculture is the livelihood of millions of people, this is particularly significant.

"China is transforming from the 'world's factory' into a 'global innovation hub,'" reports the Cuban news agency Prensa Latina. According to the 2025 Global Innovation Index Report, China's innovation ranking has entered the global top ten for the first time. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, scientific and technological innovations spurred industrial renewal and contributed to China's comprehensive socio-economic development.
