Positive interaction aids 'global village'

In a year full of profound political and economic changes, China's relationship with the outside world has grown more intense. "Positive interaction" is the phrase that best describes this relationship.

Its role today means that China is both a beneficiary of its exchanges and cooperation with the outside world, and a contributor to a fairer and more inclusive international system.

A good example of this is China's achievement in the development of its high-speed railway. As 2010 draws to an end, the world saw China set an operating speed record of 486.1 kilometers per hour on a test run on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway.
