Diplomacy pays dividends as countries benefit

With an increasingly influential role on the world stage, China has seen its proposals shape global outlook, An Baijie reports.

China has taken a more proactive and positive approach in its diplomacy in 2017, with a number of China-raised proposals translated into real outcomes and actions by the global community, analysts said.

The influential proposals raised by China in recent years include the Belt and Road Initiative, building a community of shared future for mankind, and fostering a new form of international relations. All of them yielded fruitful results in 2017 with China's promotion.
