“China’s opening up is not a solo performance, it is open to all sides to take part. China is not seeking its own sphere of influence but to support common development; and China is not expanding its own backyard but creating a garden for every country to share.”

“The outdated cold war mentality should be discarded. We urgently need to develop an inclusive, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable new security concept.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping in his keynote speech at the B20 Business Summit in Hangzhou, quoted in the South China Morning Post, September 3, 2016.
