A timely transfusion [By Jiao Haiyang/China.org.cn] |
During this year's Spring Festival, the most important holiday for Chinese people, around 6 million Chinese tourists celebrated the lunar New Year abroad, spending a total 90 billion yuan ($13.8 billion) overseas.
The new record not only proves Chinese people's ability to consume, but indicates the strength of RMB since more payment platforms in overseas markets now accept China's UnionPay cards.
But what stands behind the strong RMB is a prospering China. Since the beginning of the new century, the rise of China, a country with a population of 1.3 billion, has become one of the biggest events in the world.
How should this rise be viewed? As long one does not see it through a colored lens, one can find that China, by providing ideas and proposals, taking advantages of its capability and shouldering responsibility, delivers full-bar positive energy to the whole world.
First of all, China contributes to the world's peaceful development with ideas.
From an ancient philosophy of harmony in diversity to Chinese President Xi Jinping's concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, all of those ideas show that China is a peace-loving nation.
More specifically, China highlights non-confrontation when forging a new model of major-country ties with the U.S. When developing its neighborhood ties, it upholds a philosophy of "amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness". When it comes to the China-E.U. partnership, it also places "peace" as a top priority.
As Xi said in his speech at the Körber Foundation in 2014, "China's pursuit of peaceful development is not an act of expediency, still less diplomatic rhetoric. Rather, it is a conclusion we have reached based on an objective assessment of China's history, its present and future. It represents confidence in thinking and readiness to practice it."
