Chinese stories promoting peace

Chinese solutions to common global problems, as highlighted in Major Country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics, a six-episode documentary made by China Central Television that went on the air on Aug 28, have helped the world to pursue better global governance, promote peace and common development, and build a community of shared destiny.

At the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, Xi Jinping, CPC Central Committee general secretary, put forward new concepts of global governance, security, development and globalization, which have won China all-round praise, elevated its global status, increased its say in world affairs and widened its influence.

As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China has not only been supporting but also taking part in UN peacekeeping missions. Also, it helped broker the talks to break the deadlock in Iranian nuclear issue and played a leading role in fighting the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Such efforts have helped shape its new outlook on global security: that disputes should be settled through peaceful means.
