　　In today's era, turmoil is intensifying, chaos is intertwined, confusion and anxiety are also rising, and the world desires stability, reliability, and sense of direction. Paying attention to President Xi Jinping's trip to Southeast Asia and paying attention to China's interactions with the world, the world has found the "source of stability and certainty" and has also seen the changes that have turbulent Chinese major powers should be.

　　A true great country is about friendship. The intercourse between the hearts will make it last forever.

　　This is a story about two special arrangements and two special medals.

　　After visiting Vietnam for four years in ten years, two special arrangements have been consistent in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s itinerary: one is to go to Bating Square to lay wreaths at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and the other is to meet and exchange with Chinese and Vietnamese friends, especially young representatives. Pay tribute to history and go to the people, and work hard and do it yourself again and again, in order to inherit and carry forward the traditional friendship of "comrades and brothers". The Vietnamese comrades were deeply moved and affectionately called General Secretary Xi Jinping a "close comrade and great friend."

　　In Cambodia, China is regarded as the "most reliable and trustworthy friend" and has two special medals shining with the glory of China-Cambodia's hard-core friendship. One is the "Medal of Friendship" of the People's Republic of China awarded by President Xi Jinping to Queen Mother Monile in 2020, and the other is the "Medal of National Independence of the Kingdom of Cambodia" awarded by King Sihamoni to President Xi Jinping during this trip to the Three Kingdoms of Southeast Asia. When meeting with King Sihamoni, President Xi Jinping said, "China cherishes the friendship with the Cambodian royal family"; when meeting with Queen Mother Monile, President Xi Jinping said, "China is your second home, welcome to come to China at any time"... There is not only "eternal interests" between countries, but also warmth and warmth, emotional resonance, and harmony of ideas.

　　President Xi Jinping once said that like-mindedness is a partner, and seeking common ground while reserving differences is also a partner. Sincerity, respect and tolerance are the ways for Chinese people to make friends. Before his trip to Southeast Asia, President Xi Jinping received an old friend, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, in Beijing. The breeze blows on my face and the spring flowers are blooming. The scene of the two leaders walking together at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse spread all over the world. For his third visit to China in three years, Prime Minister Sanchez said that he once again truly felt China's "respect and friendship" towards Spain.

　　China has made friends all over the world and wrote many good stories that value love and friendship. This story is to play the famous Brazilian song "New Era" for the visiting delegation led by Brazilian President Lula. It is to prepare a steaming birthday party for Kazakh President Tokayev who visited China. It is to squeeze out time to spend his youth with friends in Laos. It is to reminisce about the past with old friends from Iowa, USA, who have squeezed out time to spend their youth during their visit. It is to visit the old friends in Iowa, USA...

　　Over the years, people have asked countless times: How to achieve peace and how to ensure peace? China has provided its own solution, that is, to communicate with each other with sincerity, and to stay with each other with emotion, because "a world of friendship can be a peaceful world."

　　A true great country is faithful. Be honest and keep your promises, and do what you say.

　　China's cooperation with Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia has implemented a principle everywhere - "Trust": promise that "China's super-large-scale market will always be open to Vietnam", and the list of visits to Vietnam includes chili, passion fruit, bird's nest and rice bran to import the China Protocol to import chili peppers, passion fruit, bird's nest and rice bran; promise to "encourage Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Malaysia", the flagship project of the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park has completed a cumulative investment of more than 11 billion yuan, and the "two countries and two parks" have entered a new stage of upgrading and development; promise to "firmly support Cambodia to maintain stability, accelerate development, and improve people's livelihood", not only supports Cambodia's construction of the largest power station, the first expressway, and the first cross-ridge viaduct, but also formulated two cooperation plans for "Industrial Development Corridor" and "Fish-Rice Corridor" according to the needs of Cambodia, and work together to pursue modernization.

　　Let’s look at the magnificent practice of major power diplomacy in recent years: expanding opening up to the outside world, putting forward the "dual carbon" goal, supporting the cause of the United Nations, declaring always being a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order... One firm commitment after another becomes a solid action, taking root and sprouting, and bearing fruit. The just-concluded Consumer Expo is the fifth consecutive year held by China. Every spring, China will invite the world as scheduled to share opportunities for development and cooperation.

　　Dialogue in the field of political security best reflects the degree of mutual trust between countries. During this trip to Southeast Asia, China and Vietnam decided to identify the "3+3" strategic dialogue mechanism between the two countries' diplomacy, national defense and public security as ministerial level. China and Malaysia agreed to establish a "2+2" dialogue mechanism between diplomacy and national defense, and China and Cambodia decided to establish a "2+2" strategic dialogue mechanism between the Foreign Minister and Defense Minister. Almost at the same time, the first ministerial meeting of the "2+2" dialogue mechanism of China-Indian Foreign Ministers and Defense Ministers was successfully held in Beijing. The new news of cooperation gathered together is not accidental or coincidental, but the inevitable result of China's always maintaining the continuity and stability of its neighboring foreign policies.

　　A true great power is moral. Advocate justice and pursue harmony.

　　The "big" of a great country lies in its great strength and its responsibilities. Its application of strength is not to serve the principle of "self-first", but to uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, face up to the requirements of fair changes in the world, and actively contribute public products to the international community.

　　The Sino-Malaysia joint statement mentioned the "Cooperation Agreement on Vaccine Development and Accessibility", which reminds people of the years of hardships in which China and Malaysia work together to fight the new crown epidemic. At a time of global crisis, China firmly fulfilled its commitment to treating vaccines as a public product, and its image as "China on the road" has become increasingly popular.

　　The current world is facing new difficult situations. Tariff wars and trade wars impact the multilateral trading system, and unilateralism and protectionism harm the interests of countries around the world, especially the vast majority of developing countries. How should the international community respond, and how should the global and southern countries cooperate?

　　With the image explanation of "a small boat cannot withstand the storm, and only by working together can we move forward steadily" and the direction of "responding to the law of the jungle with the values ​​of peace, cooperation, openness and inclusiveness", during the trip to Southeast Asia, President Xi Jinping communicated in depth and coordinated closely with all parties, and embodied the power to oppose hegemony and power, safeguard the common interests of the international community, and defend international fairness and justice. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar expressed his feelings: China brings not only stability, but also hope for a lasting future.

　　From the correct view of justice and interests to the diplomatic concept of friendly, sincere, favorable and inclusive neighborhoods, and the work policy of genuine, friendly, sincere, and sincere to Africa, from putting forward three major global initiatives to advocate an equal and orderly world multipolarization and inclusive economic globalization... Since the new era, China has demonstrated the leadership of a major power on the international stage that upholds morality, has won more credibility and has received more international support.

　　In the process of human political civilization, major powers play an important role, and their behavior can be both the driving force for the progress of the world and the root cause of conflict and disaster. What kind of big power does the world in a big change need? A China that is in love, faith and moral, and a China that insists on standing on the right side of history and progressing the times, makes the appearance of a great country clearer and more vivid, more friendly and respectable.

　　This is why the world is paying attention to China, relying on China, moving towards China, and working together with China.
