【正确答案】A globalized world, where countries are more closely inter-connected than ever before, needs not a single-handed hero but partners of cooperation who stick together in times of difficulty. This is why? China has made active efforts to expand and deepen its partnerships with other countries. Our "circle of friends" has been growing ever bigger. China’s pursuit of a new type of partnership is deeply rooted in its history and culture. It is also a pioneering effort in line with the trend of the times. // In Chinese culture, "unity means strength, while isolation means weakness." We believe "an able fellow still needs the support of others" and "more hands make light work." These are the cultural origins of China’s pursuit of partnership. We now live in a world where peace, development and win-win cooperation form an irresistible trend of the times. Old thinking such as the balance of power, zero-sum games are hard to keep up. What we need is a new way for state-to-state interaction.
