Breakdown of Wang Yi's Post-Plenum Article on China's Foreign Policy
Hi folks,
In today’s edition, I am only doing a full breakdown of Wang Yi’s post-plenum article, which is published in the paper on Page 6.
If you have been following official discourse on foreign affairs, directionally, there is nothing particularly new in the piece. But there are some useful takeaways:
The primary concerns remain arond “hegemonic bullying” and efforts by the US at “containing and suppressing emerging forces,” along with unilateralism and protectionism and outbreak of “local conflicts.”
Ties with Russia and the Global South remain a priority; the aim is to expand China’s circle of friends. With the US and EU, the focus is on achieving some sort of stability.
The language on RMB internationalisation remains that this must be done “steadily and prudently.”
The approach towards foreign technological, trade and personnel exchanges remains one of openness, as is the language related to foreign capital.
The three global initiatives remain key to the foreign policy agenda. But it is interesting that the Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative was covered in the paragraph on GSI.
This was interesting: Promote the establishment of more bilateral and regional communities with a shared future, and promote the construction of communities with a shared future in various fields such as health, climate change, and cyber security.
In addition, the points related to establishing and improving the coordination mechanism for peripheral security work; mechanisms for early warning, prevention, control, and protection of overseas interests and investment risks; anti-sanction, anti-interference, and anti-‘long-arm jurisdiction’ mechanisms; and the mechanism for safeguarding maritime rights and interests are worth noting.
In the first section, Wang clarifies that foreign policy must serve the goal of Chinese-style modernisation. He reiterates that “Chinese-style modernization is modernization that follows the path of peaceful development.” Within this context, he says that China has done the following since the 18th Party Congress:
First, China’s growing strength and its demonstration is to safeguard world peace and stability.
“We adhere to a new development philosophy, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development; over 1.4 billion Chinese people are marching proudly towards modernization, driving the overall strength of developing countries to grow continuously and leading to the most significant and progressive shift in the global balance of power in modern history. We have written a new chapter in the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and have lifted nearly 100 million rural poor people out of poverty, accounting for over 70% of global poverty reduction; China’s contribution to world economic growth has exceeded 30% for many consecutive years, which has effectively promoted the cause of global development. We have written the adherence to the path of peaceful development into the Party Constitution and the state Constitution, have proposed to promote the construction of a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, and have taken a new path that is completely different from the rise of traditional powers. We have proposed the new security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security and are the largest contributor of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the UN Security Council. We have promoted the five nuclear powers to issue a joint statement on preventing nuclear war, explored and implemented solutions to hot-spot issues with Chinese characteristics, and achieved important results such as promoting reconciliation and resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran. A China that is committed to reform and innovation will continue to develop and grow, successfully overcoming the so-called ‘Thucydides Trap’ and the ‘middle-income trap’, and will further enhance the forces of world peace and international justice.” 为维护世界和平稳定彰显中国力量。习近平总书记指出：“改革开放这场中国的第二次革命，不仅深刻改变了中国，也深刻影响了世界”。我们贯彻新发展理念、构建新发展格局、推进高质量发展，14亿多中国人民昂首迈向现代化，带动发展中国家整体实力不断壮大，推动国际力量对比发生近代以来最具进步意义的重大变化。书写了经济快速发展和社会长期稳定两大奇迹的新篇章，实现近1亿农村贫困人口全部脱贫，对世界减贫贡献率超过70%，对世界经济增长贡献率连续多年超过30%，有力推进了全球发展事业。我们把坚持走和平发展道路写入党章和宪法，提出推动构建相互尊重、公平正义、合作共赢的新型国际关系，走出了一条与传统大国崛起截然不同的新路。提出坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的新安全观，是安理会常任理事国中派遣维和人员最多的国家。推动五核国发表关于防止核战争的联合声明，探索并践行中国特色热点问题解决之道，取得促成沙特伊朗和解复交等重要成果。一个矢志改革创新的中国不断发展壮大，必将成功跨越所谓“修昔底德陷阱”、“中等收入陷阱”，必将进一步增强世界和平与国际正义的力量.
Second, China has promoted open global cooperation, demonstrating its sense of responsibility.
“In the face of rising protectionism, General Secretary Xi Jinping raised the banner of economic globalization at the World Economic Forum, guiding the direction for building an open world economy. At home, China has been advancing high-level institutional opening-up. It has fully implemented the pre-establishment national treatment plus negative list management system for foreign investment, completely lifted restrictions on foreign investment in the manufacturing sector, and significantly strengthened intellectual property protection. As a result, China’s global ranking in the business environment has jumped from 96th to 31st, and the country’s total volume of goods trade and foreign investment attraction ranks among the top in the world. Internationally, we have firmly maintained the multilateral trading system with the WTO as the core, worked with more than three-quarters of the world’s countries to jointly build a high quality BRI, established a new platform through the China International Import Expo, promoted the conclusion and high-level implementation of the RCEP, and built a global network of high-standard free trade zones. The international community generally believes that China is the greatest flag-bearer of promoting trade and investment liberalisation and facilitation in the world today, and the backbone of leading the trend of open cooperation.” 为推动全球开放合作展现中国担当。习近平总书记指出，要“以扩大开放促进深化改革，以深化改革促进扩大开放”。面对保护主义逆流，习近平总书记在世界经济论坛高举经济全球化旗帜，指引推动建设开放型世界经济的前进方向。在国内，深入推进高水平制度型开放，全面实行外商投资准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，全面取消制造业领域外资准入限制措施，有力强化知识产权保护，营商环境全球排名从96位跃升至31位，货物贸易和吸引外资总额居世界前列。在国际，坚定维护以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制，同世界上超过3/4的国家携手高质量共建“一带一路”，打造中国国际进口博览会新平台，推动达成并高水平实施《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》，构建面向全球的高标准自由贸易区网络。国际社会普遍认为，中国堪称当今世界推动贸易和投资自由化便利化的最大旗手、引领开放合作潮流的中坚力量.
Third, China has provided Chinese solutions to lead the reform and improvement of the global governance system.
“The top-level design of foreign affairs work has become more scientific, with the establishment of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, the convening of the Central Foreign Affairs Work Conference, and the continuous improvement of the foreign affairs system and mechanisms. Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy has been established, proposing the important concepts such as building a community with a shared future for mankind, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative. These initiatives advocate for a more equitable and orderly multipolar world and inclusive economic globalization, providing China’s answers to global challenges. China has advocated and practiced the global governance concept of consultation, joint construction and shared benefits, adhered to true multilateralism, promoted the conclusion of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, supported the development and growth of BRICS countries and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and promoted the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction.” 为引领全球治理体系变革完善提供中国方案。习近平总书记指出：“随着国际力量对比消长变化和全球性挑战日益增多，加强全球治理、推动全球治理体系变革是大势所趋。”对外工作顶层设计更加科学，成立中央外事工作委员会，召开中央外事工作会议，不断完善对外工作体制机制。创立习近平外交思想，提出构建人类命运共同体重要理念和全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议，倡导平等有序的世界多极化、普惠包容的经济全球化，给出世界之问的中国答案。倡导践行共商共建共享的全球治理观，坚持真正的多边主义，推动达成气候变化《巴黎协定》，支持金砖国家、上海合作组织发展壮大，推动全球治理体系朝着更加公正合理方向发展.
Fourth, it has injected Chinese vitality into the joint realisation of global modernization.
“General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasised, ‘China does not seek a self-centred modernization; instead, it is willing to work with other countries to achieve a world of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and shared prosperity.’ Our Party has united and led the Chinese people in comprehensively deepening reform, continuously achieved innovative breakthroughs in both theory and practice, successfully advanced and expanded Chinese-style modernization, and created a new form of human civilization, which has provided new hope for many developing countries and strengthened their confidence in independently choosing their development paths. We have engaged in equal exchanges on governance and administration, fully supported developing countries in enhancing their self-development capabilities, established the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund, and founded the Global Development Promotion Center; alongside African countries, we have implemented the ‘Nine Projects’ and created six tailored cooperation platforms for Pacific Island Countries to address climate change and other challenges. The path of Chinese-style modernization is getting broader, injecting new vitality into the world's modernization process.” 为携手实现世界现代化注入中国活力。习近平总书记指出：“中国追求的不是独善其身的现代化，愿同各国一道，实现和平发展、互利合作、共同繁荣的世界现代化”。我们党团结带领中国人民全面深化改革，不断实现理论和实践上的创新突破，成功推进和拓展了中国式现代化，创造了人类文明新形态，使广大发展中国家看到了新的希望，坚定了自主选择发展道路的信心。我们平等开展治国理政经验交流，全力支持发展中国家增强自主发展能力，设立全球发展和南南合作基金，成立全球发展促进中心，同非洲国家共同实施“九项工程”，为太平洋岛国量身打造应对气变等“六大合作平台”。中国式现代化道路越走越宽广，为世界现代化进程注入新的活力.
The second section is titled: “correctly understand the strategic opportunities, risks and challenges in the external environment.”
“At present, the changes in the world, the times, and history are unfolding in unprecedented ways. The world is witnessing accelerated evolution of profound changes unseen in a century, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is developing deeply, the international balance of power is undergoing profound adjustments, the momentum of the ‘Global South’ is growing, and peace, development, cooperation, and win-win outcomes are becoming the prevailing aspirations and trends. China’s development is facing new strategic opportunities. At the same time, the international situation is increasingly complex and turbulent. Anti-globalization sentiments are on the rise; there is a notable increase in unilateralism and protectionism, there are frequent occurrences of local conflicts and unrest, global challenges are escalating, and certain major powers are engaging in hegemonic bullying, arbitrarily containing and suppressing emerging forces. China has entered a period where strategic opportunities coexist with risks and challenges, and where uncertainty and unpredictability are increasing.”
“Do not fear the floating clouds that obscure your vision; remain calm as turbulent clouds fly across. Looking at the world, the general direction of human development and progress will not change, the general logic of the tortuous progress of world history will not change, and the general trend of the international community’s shared destiny will not change. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. Today, we are more capable of seizing historical initiative and significantly influencing the direction of world development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the Chinese nation continues to move towards the future with the attitude of reform and opening up, which has profound historical origins and deep cultural roots. As long as we maintain confidence and determination, take on responsibilities actively, dare to be good at struggle, and take the initiative to recognize, respond to and seek change, we will surely be able to carve paths through mountains and build bridges over waters for the development of our cause by relying on tenacious struggle.”
当前，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开。世界百年未有之大变局加速演进，新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展，国际力量对比深刻调整，“全球南方”声势卓然壮大，和平、发展、合作、共赢已是人心所向、大势所趋，我国发展面临新的战略机遇。同时，国际形势变乱交织，逆全球化思潮抬头，单边主义、保护主义明显上升，局部冲突和动荡频发，全球性挑战不断加剧，个别大国大搞强权霸凌、肆意围堵打压新兴力量，我国发展进入战略机遇和风险挑战并存、不确定难预料因素增多的时期。不畏浮云遮望眼，乱云飞渡仍从容。放眼世界，人类发展进步的大方向不会改变，世界历史曲折前进的大逻辑不会改变，国际社会命运与共的大趋势不会改变。中华民族伟大复兴已进入不可逆转的历史进程。今天，我们已能够更多把握历史主动、更大程度影响世界发展方向。习近平总书记指出，中华民族以改革开放的姿态继续走向未来，有着深远的历史渊源、深厚的文化根基。只要保持信心定力、积极担当作为，敢于善于斗争、主动识变应变求变，就一定能逢山开路、遇水架桥，依靠顽强斗争不断打开事业发展新天地。
In the third section, Wang outlines tasks that need to be carried out. He writes that:
“In the current and future periods, foreign affairs should be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It is essential to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, hold high the banner of building a community with a shared future for mankind, adhere to the principles of self-confidence and self-reliance, openness, inclusiveness, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation, and strive to create a new situation in major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, and fostering a favourable external environment for further deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization.” 当前和今后一个时期，对外工作要以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，深入学习贯彻党的二十届三中全会精神，高举构建人类命运共同体旗帜，坚持自信自立、开放包容、公道正义、合作共赢的方针原则，奋力开创中国特色大国外交新局面，为进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化营造良好外部环境.
