| Summary/Abstract |
The international order is built on the principles of sovereign equality, national interests, great powers and respect for human rights among others. International rivalry and cooperation have existed side by side over the past few centuries, while the foundations of an international order have solidified. We are now seeing a transition in the international order that requires new innovative ways of thinking. China is seen as the key driver of these changes because of its unique status, pattern of growth and future potential. China should embrace this historic opportunity and take on its obligations to contribute to the birth of a new modern international order.
