2025年3月12日，驻威廉斯塔德总领事李意钢在库拉索英文媒体网站纪事新闻网发表署名文章《新时代中国外交的鲜明特征》，宣介我对外政策，全文如下：
今年2月，中国外长王毅出席第61届慕尼黑安全会议期间，谈及中美关系时引用中国古诗“他强任他强，清风拂山冈。他横任他横，明月照大江”，引发很多关于中国对美政策的解读。其实，如果对近年中国外交政策有比较全面客观的认识，会发现这几句诗不仅可以解释中美关系，其实更体现了新时代中国外交四个鲜明特征： 一是坚持和平发展。和平发展思想是中华文化的内在基因，讲信修睦、协和万邦是中国周边外交的基本内涵。近代以来，外敌入侵、内部战乱曾给中国人民带来了巨大灾难。中国人民深知和平的宝贵，绝不会放弃维护和平的决心和愿望，绝不会把自身曾遭遇的苦难强加于他人。中国繁荣昌盛是趋势所在，但国强必霸不是历史定律。中国自古倡导“强不执弱，富不侮贫”，深知“国虽大，好战必亡”的道理。中国坚持走和平发展道路，不是权宜之计，更不是外交辞令，而是根据时代发展潮流和中国根本利益作出的战略选择和郑重承诺。 同时，坚持和平发展不能牺牲国家利益，坚持和平发展也不是中国一家的事，而是需要各国共同经营的事业。中国人民有比海洋、天空更宽广的胸怀，但我们的眼睛里也决容不下沙子。和平发展是各国共同的责任。中国人民愿同世界各国人民和睦相处、和谐发展，共谋和平、共护和平、共享和平。 二是坚持开放包容。没有和平，中国和世界都不可能顺利发展；没有发展，中国和世界也不可能有持久和平。中国坚持和平发展，必然秉持开放包容的外交气度。中华民族历史上就是兼容并蓄、海纳百川的民族，始终同世界各民族平等交往、友好交流。中国历来主张大小国家一律平等，倡导不同社会制度和发展道路相互包容。我们始终认为，一国发展道路，只能由这个国家的人民，依据自己的历史传承、文化传统、经济社会发展水平来决定，生搬硬套或强加于人只会引起水土不服。 中国与外部世界的关系正在发生历史性变化。我们认为，每一个国家的声音都应得到倾听，每一个国家都可以在多级格局中找到自己的位置，发挥自己的作用。中国愿意以开放包容心态加强同外界对话和沟通，增进国际社会对中国历史文化、发展道路、治国理念的了解、理解和认同，同时开展更多文明交流了解和认识世界. 三是坚持互利共赢。发展是破解各种难题的钥匙，多极世界应当是各国共同发展的世界。保护主义不是出路，滥加关税没有赢家。“脱钩断链”断的是机遇，“小院高墙”封的是自己。应当坚持开放合作，以普惠包容的经济全球化来支撑平等有序的世界多极化。正是朝着这样的目标，中国坚定同各国共享发展机遇。去年中国GDP增长5%，对世界经济增长的贡献率接近30%，担当起全球经济增长的重要引擎，向世界释放超大规模市场红利。中国将同各国一道，推动高质量共建“一带一路”，携手构建人类命运共同体，赋能彼此，赋能世界。 中国重视同拉美和加勒比国家开展各领域友好交流合作，同地区国家建立平等互利、共同发展的全面合作伙伴关系。以委内瑞拉为例，中委建交以来，两国共怀求和平、谋合作、促发展的愿望，积极推动政治、经贸、文化等领域多层级交流往来，双方坚定支持探索符合本国国情的发展道路，在彼此核心利益问题上相互支持，成为经受住“患难”考验的相互信赖的好朋友、好伙伴。 四是坚持公平正义。习近平主席指出，发展是世界各国的权利，而不是少数国家的专利。世界繁荣稳定不可能建立在贫者愈贫、富者愈富的基础之上。面对层出不穷的全球性挑战，没有哪个国家能独善其身，各国都希望避免世界重回丛林法则。为此，中国坚持主权平等，反对谁“胳膊粗”、“拳头大”谁说了算，反对少数国家垄断国际事务，各国正当权益应得到充分保护。我们主张恪守多边主义理念，秉持共商共建共享原则，加强国际法治的权威，反对双重标准和选择性适用，更不应欺行霸市、巧取豪夺。 正是本着这样的理念，中国坚定维护联合国权威和地位，承担着超过20%的联合国会费，并积极履行国际责任和义务。中国加入了几乎所有普遍性政府间国际组织和600多项国际公约，切实履行《巴黎协定》，建成世界上最大清洁发电体系，提出并落实全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议、全球文明倡议，为完善全球治理提供公共产品，为当今不确定的世界提供了最大的确定性。
Distinctive Characteristics of China's Diplomacy in the New Era
Mr. Li Yigang
Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Willemstad
In February this year, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi quoted an ancient Chinese poem at the 61st Munich Security Conference when talking about China-U.S. relations，“Powerful as they may be, we remain unshaken like a mountain touched by a gentle breeze. Ferocious as they may be, we stay calm like a river beneath a bright moon”, generating a lot of interpretations of China's policy towards the U.S.. In fact, a more comprehensive and objective apprehension of China's foreign policy in recent years will help us to find that the poem not only explains China-U.S. relations, but also reflects the four distinctive characteristics of China's diplomacy in the new era. First, adhering to peaceful development. The thought of peaceful development is an innate gene in the Chinese culture while honoring promises and living in harmony with all others far and near are fundamental connotations of Chinese diplomacy towards neighboring countries. The Chinese people, having suffered so much from foreign aggression and internal turmoil in modern times, cherish peace. We will never waver in our determination to uphold peace, and we will never want to see others suffer what happened to us. The boom and prosperity of China is an irresistible trend, but the idea that the strong will bully is not in accordance with the law of history. Since the ancient times China has long been advocating the thoughts like "the strong should not tyrannize the weak while the rich should not bully the poor"and known well the ideas such as "however powerful a country is, it is sure to fall for being too bellicose". China's adherence to the path of peaceful development is not an expediency, nor diplomatic rhetoric, but a strategic choice and solemn promise. Adhering to the path of peaceful development cannot be fulfilled at the sacrifice of national interests. China is firmly committed to peaceful development and hopes that all countries in the world will do likewise. Only when all countries take peaceful development paths can we develop and live peacefully together. Chinese people have a mind that is broader than the ocean and sky, but we can't tolerate any sand in our eyes. All countries must shoulder their common responsibility for peace, and the Chinese people want, more than anything else, to live in peace and harmony with the people of other countries, and work with them to promote, defend and share peace together. Second, adhering to openness and inclusiveness. We believe that, without peace, China and the world as a whole cannot achieve smooth development whereas failure in development cannot sustain peace in China and in the world. China's adherence to peaceful development will naturally lead to open and inclusive diplomacy. Chinese people have kept a broad mind throughout the history and have been maintaining friendly communications with various nations on the basis of mutual respect. China advocates equality among all countries regardless of size, and calls for mutual tolerance of different social systems and development paths. We have always believed that what kind of path a country takes should only be decided by its own people in accordance with its own history, cultural traditions, and level of economic and social development. There is no such thing as one single path or model that is universally applicable. The relations between China and the world are in the midst of profound and complex changes. We believe that every country should have their voice heard. Every country should be able to find their place and play their role in a multipolar paradigm. China is willing to strengthen dialogue and communication with the outside world with an open and inclusive attitude, to enhance the international community's understanding and recognition of China's history, culture, development path and governance philosophy, and to carry out more exchanges among civilizations to understand the world. Third, adhering to mutual benefit. Development holds the key to addressing various problems. The multipolar world should be one where all countries develop together. Protectionism offers no way out, and arbitrary tariffs produce no winners. Decoupling deprives one of opportunities, and a “small yard with high fences”only ends up constraining oneself. It is important to pursue open cooperation, and support an equal and orderly multipolar world with a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization. It is for this goal that China stays committed to sharing development opportunities with all countries. With a 5% GDP growth last year, China contributed to nearly 30% of the world economic growth. It has served as an important engine for global economic growth, and shared with the world the benefit of its supersized market. China is willing to synergize high-quality Belt and Road cooperation with all sides, and jointly build a community with a shared future for mankind so as to empower each other and empower the entire world. China attaches great importance to carrying out friendly communication and cooperation with Latin America and Caribbean countries, putting forward the goal of establishing the comprehensive cooperative partnership featuring equality, mutual benefit, and common development. Take Venezuela as an example, since establishing diplomatic ties, China and Venezuela are united by a common desire to promote peace, cooperation and development, engaging actively in multi-level exchanges in politics, economy, trade and culture. Both countries have consistently stood by each other in independently exploring development paths suited to their national conditions, have supported one another on issues concerning each other's core interests, and have become trusted friends and committed partners in the face of adversity. Fourth, adhering to fairness and justice. As Chinese president Xi Jinping pointed out, development is the right of all, rather than an exclusive privilege of the few. Prosperity and stability cannot be possible in a world where the rich become richer while the poor are made poorer. In the face of emerging global challenges, no country can stay unaffected. All countries want to prevent the world from returning to the law of the jungle. To this end, China insists on sovereign equality. Those with stronger arms and bigger fists should not be allowed to call the shots. International affairs must not be monopolized by a small number of countries. The legitimate rights and interests of all countries should be fully protected. Multilateralism must be observed. Countries should stay committed to the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefit. The authority of the international rule of law must be strengthened. Double standard and selective application should be opposed. Still less should any country resort to bullying, monopoly, trickery or extortion. It is from this understanding that China firmly upholds the authority and stature of the U.N., contributes to more than 20 percent of the U.N. regular budget, and actively fulfills its international responsibilities and obligations. China is a member of almost all universal intergovernmental organizations and a party to over 600 international conventions. We have acted earnestly on the Paris Agreement on climate change, and built the world’s largest clean power generation system. We have also proposed and delivered on the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, providing public goods for improving global governance as well as the greatest certainty in this uncertain world.
