The expert teaching this class is Professor Sun Xuefeng from the Department of International Relations of Tsinghua University. Professor Sun is the Executive Vice Dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, a resident researcher at the Tsinghua-Carnegie Center for Global Policy, and was selected as a Fulbright Scholar from 2014 to 2015.

This course is sponsored by the Education and Work Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee and hosted by China University of Geosciences.
Professor Sun mainly introduced the current international situation China is facing from the aspects of strength, status, external challenges and strategic choices. “China is in a state of being about to rise,” Professor Sun first commented. He elaborated from the aspects of economic influence, military modernization and strength scale that China firmly ranks second in the world, but its degree of development needs to be improved, and there is a substantial gap with the superpowers. Then, Professor Sun selected the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries to analyze the relationship between China and them from a comprehensive perspective and with a historical span, explaining the difficulties faced by China's rise. In addition, he also quoted a wealth of examples to analyze the transformation of China's strategic choices from strategic appeasement to confronting peripheral security issues and building a community with a shared future for neighboring countries. Today, the launch of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank are manifestations of China’s active promotion of innovation in cooperation models. Finally, he summarized China's future strategic development goals with "fulfilling historical responsibilities" in Xi Jinping's speech.

Zhao Tianqiu, Class of 2016, w88 casino of Chinese Language and Literaturesaid that through Professor Sun's lectures, I learned about the various economic, military and diplomatic challenges and opportunities that my country faces in its development process, as well as our country's commitment to promoting the structure of a community with a shared future for mankind. The means and mechanisms used in this effort can be said to have greatly expanded my own horizons. And we realize that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be accomplished easily by beating gongs and drums. Therefore, we need to learn our own skills and at the same time strengthen our awareness and shoulder our own responsibilities for the country and our family!
Su Xingyu, Class of 2016, w88 casino of Financesaid that I like the subject of international relations more and have a clearer understanding of China's international status. I have also strengthened my determination to strive for scientific and technological innovation in my motherland. I have also truly begun to think about China's appropriate strategy when facing neighboring countries and major powers such as the United States.
Cao Xuzheng, Class of 2017, w88 casino of International Economics and w88said: China is currently facing a dilemma in its rise. The inherent peripheral security system and pattern have created structural contradictions with the geopolitical changes in China's increasing comprehensive national strength. China should not be deceived by foreign things and maintain strategic focus. The first is to stabilize Sino-US relations and maintain the overall situation. Make good use of policy tools to promote the dual-track development of economy and security, build a community with a shared future, proceed step by step, seize the period of strategic opportunities, and cultivate internal strength. Attack cautiously and stop with silence.
Shen Han, Class of 2017, w88 casino of International Economics and w88said: In the process of China's rise, it must not only deal with the exclusion of capitalist countries such as the United States, but also deal with existing conflicts with neighboring countries. It must face temptation, suspicion and even hostility from many countries. These are all things that must be resolved on the way to its rise. I believe that China, which is pursuing the path of peaceful rise, has the ability to resolve conflicts and solve problems. Facing today's rising predicament, while China continues to maintain stable economic growth, it must also approach it from a strategic perspective, seize strategic opportunities, safeguard its own interests, seek common interests, strengthen cooperation with other countries, and enhance its influence and voice.
