The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is being held in Beijing. It is the sub-conference that countries and political parties around the world are so attracted by this. They not only want to understand the construction plan for the world's second largest economy to achieve Chinese-style modernization, but also observe how China positiones its own relationship with the world and whether it can continue to inject stable and certain positive energy into the turbulent world with the role of a responsible major power.

In the report of the 20th National Congress, important topics of concern to the outside world have been clearly and clearly responded to: How the CCP views the general trend of the world and China's development, what kind of world China hopes to promote the construction of, what kind of international relations China will build, what kind of foreign policy China will implement in the new era...
Changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history are developing in unprecedented ways, and human society is facing unprecedented challenges. "The world once again stands at the crossroads of history, and this intersection refers to peace and development." said Gao Fei, deputy dean of the school of diplomacy.
The older generation of CCP politicians have made a historic judgment that peace and development are the two major themes of the world today, and China has always adhered to a foreign policy of maintaining world peace and promoting common development. At this time, the major changes unseen in a century accelerated and the world entered a new period of turbulent and change. On the one hand, the historical trend of peace, development, cooperation and win-win is unstoppable; on the other hand, hegemony and bullying behaviors such as bullying, clever snatching, and zero-sum game are deeply harmful. People all over the world are facing a choice of where to go.
It is at this critical historical crossroads that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly showed China's choice: to promote world peace and development and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. This is the overall goal of China's diplomacy in the new era, and it is also a Chinese wisdom and answering solution for the world, the times and history of mankind's future and destiny.
United Nations Secretary-General Guterres said that the purpose of our practice of multilateralism is to build a community with a shared future for mankind. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that China has put forward a global development initiative and a global security initiative, and is willing to work together with the international community to implement it. Obviously, this is further enriching the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and it is also reiterating to the world that China is an advocate and practitioner of building a community with a shared future for mankind.
In the past decade, thanks to the "Belt and Road" initiative for consultation, joint construction and sharing, East Africa has a highway, Maldives has a cross-sea bridge , Laos has changed from " land-locked country " to "land-United Nations", and China-Europe freight trains have also become an important lifeline to ensure the stability and smooth global logistics. "From the Belt and Road Initiative to the proposal and practice of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, the global development initiative, and the global security initiative, China has been showing the image of a responsible major power on the international stage in the past decade." said Indonesian scholar Veronica.
Because of this, people also have reason to believe that China, which takes the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China as a new starting point, adheres to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world and pursues a mutually beneficial and win-win opening-up strategy, will create more international public products and international cooperation platforms to better benefit people of all countries.

It is worth noting that when discussing the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, the Twenty Top Reports also point out that Chinese-style modernization should "promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and create a new form of human civilization." This shows that the CCP not only emphasizes modern Chinese characteristics, but also "looks on the world" and is committed to creating a stable external environment for realizing modernization.Its specific manifestation is to promote the construction of a new type of international relations, and to use this as the core element of China's diplomatic layout on the "new journey":
- Promote coordination and benign interaction between major powers, and promote the construction of a pattern of major power relations with peaceful coexistence, overall stability and balanced development.
- Adhere to the principle of being friendly, sincere, favorable, and kind to the neighbors and companionship with neighbors, and deepen the integration of friendship, mutual trust and interests with neighboring countries.
—Adhere to the concept of true friendship and sincerity and the correct view of justice and interests, strengthen unity and cooperation with developing countries, and safeguard the common interests of developing countries.
However, it is an indisputable fact that the global peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit and governance deficit have aggravated. In particular, some countries are "building walls and building blocks" and trying to "decouple and break chains", unilateral sanctions and extreme pressure are used to do everything possible. In this regard, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that China actively participates in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and that "China will never seek hegemony and will never engage in expansion." This is precisely trying to increase trust and resolve doubts, avoid " Thucydides Trap ", resolve " Jindellberg Trap ", solve the "collective action problems" through institutional reform and innovation, share the responsibility of global governance, and jointly build a fair and reasonable international order.
The outside world noticed that when discussing China's independent and peaceful foreign policy, the Twenty National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to firmly oppose all forms of hegemony and power politics, oppose the Cold War thinking, oppose the interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and oppose the double standards. "This series of oppositions reflects China's spirit of daring to fight." Gao Fei said, "These behaviors China opposes are contrary to the direction of human progress and development, and are an important reason for the emergence of many problems in the world and the inability to cooperate effectively. As a responsible, principled and bottom line country, China is unwilling and unable to watch the world slide towards hegemony and power politics, and to the point of a new Cold War." Liu Dian, a special associate researcher at the China Institute of Fudan University, said that at present, the international community needs peace and stability more than ever before. "At this point, a series of policies proposed by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China not only helps China better respond to the current world situation, but also makes China an important 'stabilizer' of the global political and economic system."
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly conveys confidence in the bright future of the world, and also has a clear understanding of "high winds and waves and even stormy waves". Although the road is far away, you will be approaching. How the CCP will achieve national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization and fulfill its commitment to provide new opportunities for the world with China's new development is worth looking forward to.
