China News Service, Beijing, March 8th, title: China's diplomacy handed over a "flat mirror" to the world
Author Huang Yuqin
Standing at the intersection of history, China has never been so concerned by the world.
But in the process of attention, there will inevitably be prejudice, smear, and even misunderstanding.
Looking at China with a "magnifying glass", all kinds of threat theories have emerged, and looking at China with a "colored mirror", you can't even see the truth.
In response, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi used a 100-minute press conference on the 7th to hand out a "flat mirror" to the world in 27 questions and answers.
No need for a beauty camera, let alone a gray-black filter, you can see the real and sensible China under the "flat lens".
The special time node world needs such a "flat mirror".
Today, China is ushering in the historic moment of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan". The interaction between China and the world is ushering in a new opportunity.
At the same time, under the circumstances that have changed over the past century, the international landscape is evolving rapidly, and there are still people who hold the Cold War mentality to demarcate boundaries with ideology. China's diplomacy needs to present a "flat mirror" to the world at this moment.
Under the "flat mirror", people will clearly see that diversity is the characteristic of the development of human civilization, and institutional differences are far from the reason for confrontation. Exchange and mutual learning can enhance mutual understanding and progress. The image is more three-dimensional at this moment.

Under the "flat mirror", China's claims can be more accurately understood by the outside world.
Holding a "magnifying glass" and wearing a "colored mirror", China maintains that it is inevitable to encounter inadvertent misunderstandings or deliberate distortions: active participation in global governance is suspected of seeking hegemony, regional cooperation is intended to seek geopolitical interests, and international cooperation in the fight against the epidemic is promoted. It was dubbed "vaccine diplomacy".
The deep motivation behind it is that the thinking path of China is solidified in various filters.
The "flat mirror" reveals the original appearance of things. China's proposition is clear and clear, and its position of adhering to multilateralism to participate in global governance has never changed. "An island" is China's unchanging original intention for anti-epidemic cooperation.
The "flat mirror" handed out by the Chinese Foreign Minister at the press conference also made the world further aware of the bottom line of China's core interests. The use of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and other issues to interfere in China's internal affairs obviously touched China's core interests.
As he said, China is willing to increase trust with all parties to clarify the truth and clarify the truth on the premise of respecting national sovereignty.
But we will never accept baseless accusations and smears, and we will never allow our core interests to be violated.
Under the "flat mirror", China's bottom line and red line can be more clearly perceived by the outside world. This helps eliminate misunderstandings and squeeze the space for deliberate misunderstandings. The outside world also has a more sense of the bottom line of China's foreign exchanges.
China is continuing to face and embrace the world with an open attitude.
Only a China that is deeply integrated with the world, open and self-confident, has the confidence to "no need for a beauty camera" and "rejects gray and black filters", so that the world can see itself as it is true and sensible.
