BEIJING, June 8 (Xinhua) — A think tank report released Sunday highlighted four key principles underlying China’s vision of building the South China Sea into a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation: consultation on an equal footing, rules-based joint governance, win-win cooperation and playing a constructive role.
The report, titled “Transforming the South China Sea into a Sea of Peace, Friendship and Cooperation: China’s Actions,” was published by the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency.
These principles, developed and refined through practical experience, have stood the test of time. The joint achievements of China and ASEAN countries clearly demonstrate that dialogue can overcome any obstacle and cooperation can realize any aspiration, the report says.
As the largest littoral state in the South China Sea, China plays an important role in maintaining regional peace and stability. According to the report, this shared commitment to peace and stability serves as a critical foundation for bringing China and its neighbors closer together in the South China Sea.
It also stressed that throughout history, China has never sought “regional hegemony.” China remains committed to resolving differences with relevant parties, exercising restraint in disputes, and diligently cooperating with regional countries to establish a rules-based maritime order in the South China Sea. -0-
