China to play more active role in global governance

China will be one of the main driving forces for various international organizations to reform and better serve their purpose in all areas, including world political issues, economy, social development, culture as well as military and security issues, said Wang Yizhou, deputy dean of the School of International Studies at Peking University, at a symposium on major country diplomatic strategy held by Tongji University on Jan. 7, 2017. China should clarify its position on global issues, make international rules more reasonable and make public goods more balanced, Wang said. With the recognition that the governance of China’s surrounding regions will be fundamental and exemplary to global governance, China is dedicated to improving its relationship with neighboring nations and promoting the refinement of an East Asian order, said Men Honghua, president of the Academy of Chinese Strategy at Tongji University.
