Taking the stage in global leadership

What do you feel has been China's biggest achievement over the past five years? What's the most notable change you've observed?

Deng Xiaoping told the country that during its period of reform and opening-up, China must learn from the West, and "hide one's light and bide one's time". It was unclear how long it would take for China to transcend its status as a developing country and take its place on the geopolitical stage. In the past five years, China has finally taken that step, transforming into a global powerhouse. It has become more actively engaged in the world, with ambitious and visionary projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. China has also begun to take a more active role in international disaster relief and other humanitarian projects.
