By applying this concept, Chinese diplomacy has taken a new turn, pushing China into a new and powerful role in world affairs. China's diplomatic effort, however, still faces numerous problems, challenges and risks, requiring the Chinese leadership to refine the concept of"harmonious world"through creative thinking and application.展开更多

However,its increased strength and its strong sense of great power do not allow Russia to improve its international environment and the Russia-Georgian conflict and the financial crisis are forcing it to confront its deteriorating surroundings and international environment.On the one hand,therefore,Russia is hastening to adjust its foreign policy.It is firmly declaring its determination to defend national interests,is making efforts to maintain its status and influence in the former Soviet Union regions,and is strengthening cooperation with the emerging major powers.On the other hand,Russia wants to use the opportunity of Obama taking office to establish an equal strategic partnership with the United States based on common interests,and to continue to strengthen the interdependence of Russia and Europe,and to build a unified space.Russia’s foreign strategy and policy will also be affected in the future by such factors as national strength,national identity,means of rising,and domestic policies.展开更多

IntroductionChina is entering an impressive era of grain production since its reform and opening up in 1978. At present, China feeds 22% of the world population with only 9% of the world＇s arable land [1]. Thus, China has become a leader in the global fight against hunger[2] . Grain production has increased dramatically, from about 3 × 10^8t in 1978 to 6.21 × 10^8t in 2016, which is an annual increase rate of 9% [3].展开更多

Its geopolitical importance diminished remarkably after the end of the Cold War. Africa was once a strategic "abandoned pawn" of the West. For quite a long period of time,"Africa pessimism" was very popular in international society. Nevertheless,over the past decade,major changes have taken place in Africa. Its economic development has changed from a "low-ebb" period into a growth period. Its international status has changed from "being marginalized" into "being upgraded." "African fever" is on the rise across the globe. Judging from both the domestic and international situations,Africa has entered into its most favorable strategic period of peace and development since independence,greatly increasing the world’s expectation of Africa’s future. However,restricted by many factors,both domestic and international,Africa still has a long and tough way to go to make its rejuvenation dream come true.展开更多

The notion varies in meaning from one country to another, due to their differences in security environment, cognition and defense capabilities. It took quite a long time for China to form its own definition in an overall, profound manner, with controversy still lingering among divergent interest groups and/or schools of thought. As the author sees it, formidable internal and external challenges threaten the country in this regard. We should maintain awareness of the risks from monopoly-driven mergers and acquisitions of foreign capital in a growing number of our industries.展开更多
