International Collaboration: Through cultural exchanges, China has fostered better international understanding and cooperation.

Globalization has undoubtedly brought immense benefits to China, enabling economic growth, technological progress, and improved living standards. Meanwhile, China, as a key player in globalization, has made significant contributions to global economic development, technological innovation, and cultural diversity. However, the challenges posed by globalization require joint efforts from China and the world to achieve sustainable and mutually beneficial globalization.
