China cannot develop itself in isolation from the world and the world cannot enjoy prosperity or stability without China. In a world where the trend toward multi-polarity is irreversible, economic globalization is deepening and the scientific and technological revolution is accelerating, China’s future is more closely linked with the future of the world than ever before. China will firmly keep to the path of peaceful development, a strategic decision made by the Chinese Government and people and based on China’s realities and keeping in touch with the trend of our times. It demonstrates that China’s foreign policy and domestic policy are consistent with each other and that the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the common interests of the world’s people are in harmony. Peaceful development is the only way leading to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. China respects the right of other peoples to independently choose their development path. It does not interfere in other countries’ internal affairs, nor does it try to impose its own will on others. China is committed to peaceful settlement of international disputes and follows a defense policy that is defensive in nature. China will never seek hegemony or expansion.
