The goodwill diplomacy and legitimate demands of China are often misunderstood on the international stage

In recent years, accusations of an over-confident, assertive and arrogant China have been heard unceasingly in the international arena. Anything China says is labeled as aggressive or arrogant when it does not follow the line of the West. China's diplomacy is continually bashed by tongue and pen.

For China, which is devoted to building a harmonious world of sustained peace and common prosperity, the antagonism in the international arena seems like black clouds bearing down on the nation.
