- China-Russia ties

China and Russia have found a path of major country relations.

The bilateral relationship is based on non-alliance and non-confrontation, and is not targeted at any third party.

The more unstable the world becomes, the more imperative it is for China and Russia to steadily advance their relations.

- Global governance

China will always maintain a global vision and play an active part in global governance.

Global governance should abide by the principles of international law embodied in the United Nations Charter, uphold fairness and justice, and oppose hegemony and selfish gains.

- China-US relationship

US violated international law, overreacted and abused force in unmanned airship incident.

The US perception and views toward China are seriously distorted.

US' so-called competition meant to contain and suppress China and get the two countries locked in a zero-sum game.

Containing and suppressing China won't make the US great, and it will not stop the rejuvenation of China.
