China's diplomatic outreach has gained remarkable momentum in recent months. Since May, heads of state of Tajikistan, the United States, Russia, Pakistan and Serbia have paid successive visits to China. Over the past six months, leaders from France, South Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Vietnam and others have also traveled to China. From major Western powers to Global South countries, from neighboring states to partners across the oceans, this surge in activity has made China's diplomacy one of the most striking phenomena on the global diplomatic stage.

Commentators have noted that China now plays three important roles on the world stage: a diplomatic bridge, a provider of development frameworks and an anchor for strategic stability. For months, global leaders have been paying visits to Beijing. Both commercial interests and the search for a reliable partner in an uncertain world drive these trips. In general, foreign media are viewing this diplomatic momentum through the lens of cooperation and increasingly regard China as a trustworthy and steady partner.

Such widespread recognition is no coincidence. It reflects a growing consensus and tangible results. Willingness to cooperate matters, but the ability to turn that willingness into outcomes matters even more. China's strong capacity for cooperation lies in its ability to translate shared aspirations into practical achievements, and the continuing wave of foreign leaders visiting China once again demonstrates this capability.

China's "cooperation capacity" is rooted in its sound and steady development. This year marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030). While advancing high-quality development, China is also expanding high-standard opening-up, offering the world a clear and growing "opportunity list." During the recent meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump in Beijing, Xi encouraged the US business leaders accompanying Trump to deepen cooperation with China and stressed that China's door will continue to "open-up" even wider.

According to the latest American Business in China White Paper released by the American Chamber of Commerce in China, 52 percent of US companies operating in China expect to turn a profit in 2025, up six percentage points from the previous year. Since the start of the year, groups of senior executives from multinational companies have been visiting China in turn. At the same time, major foreign-invested projects have been launched across the country. For many global companies, "choosing China" has shifted from an option to a necessity. A stable and steadily developing China is creating ever more opportunities for businesses worldwide.

China's capacity for cooperation also stems from its philosophy of seeking harmony without uniformity. In front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven, Xi explained to Trump the traditional Chinese view of "Heaven is round, Earth is square" and the corresponding outlook on the universe and on life. At the Huaigu Pavilion in Dujiangyan, in Southwest China's Sichuan Province, Xi and visiting French President Emmanuel Macron enjoyed tea by the waterside and drew insights into major-country relations from the ancient Chinese wisdom of achieving harmony between humanity and nature embodied in the Dujiangyan water-conservancy project.

China does not pursue bloc confrontation or draw ideological lines. Instead, it builds bridges of understanding through dialogue among civilizations, enabling countries with different systems and cultures to reach consensus on cooperation grounded in mutual respect. This approach— transcending differences while focusing on win-win outcomes—is precisely the kind of precious certainty China brings to a turbulent world.

China's capacity for cooperation further reflects its firm commitment to multilateralism and its sense of responsibility as a major country. Today's world is far from peaceful. Unilateralism and hegemonism pose serious threats, and there is a real risk of sliding back toward the law of the jungle in international relations. Under such circumstances, solidarity and cooperation are necessities for the international community.

More than ever, the world needs major countries to take the lead in upholding equality, the rule of law, cooperation and good faith, and to firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order underpinned by international law.

China and Russia recently issued a joint statement on promoting a multipolar world and a new type of international relations. They also signed 20 cooperation agreements in other fields, underscoring their commitment to maintaining global strategic balance and improving the international relations system.

China has consistently practiced true multilateralism, firmly upheld the international order and contributed to better global governance through good governance at home. The succession of foreign leaders visiting China reflects growing international recognition of China's clear positions and responsible actions. This kind of cooperation not only helps stabilize bilateral relations but also benefits the wider world.

Today, "looking East" has become increasingly common. China's cooperation capacity has become a much-needed global resource, and the additional cooperation opportunities it brings have become precious and scarce global public goods. Facts have repeatedly shown that walking with China means walking with opportunities, and walking with stability means walking on the right side of history. In this era of uncertainty and transformation, China will remain committed to openness and inclusiveness, uphold mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and continue to inject stability and positive energy into the world through its own steady development.
