China’s answer is firm and clear.

Wang Yi stressed that as China has one-fifth of the global population,its march toward modernization has important,far-reaching significance for the world.The path that China pursues is one of peace and development,not one of plunder and colonialism;it is a path of win-win cooperation,not one of zero-sum game;and it is one of harmony between man and Nature,not one of destructive exploitation of resources.We will continue to contribute our input to meeting the challenges facing human development,and make our contribution to creating a new form of human advancement.

Wang Yi said that next month,the CPC will convene its 20thNational Congress in Beijing.This Congress will,in response to the expectation of all the Chinese people,set well-conceived goals and tasks for China’s development in the next five years and beyond,and it will draw an overarching plan for China’s future development.Having reached a new historical starting point,China will follow the Chinese path to modernization to achieve the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.China will work with other countries to make every effort for peace and development,shoulder the responsibility for solidarity and progress,build a community with a shared future for mankind,and embrace an even better world.
