After the 18thNational Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's international status has been further enhanced and China's foreign affairs have been unprecedentedly active. Recently, China's significant moves such as successfully holding the APEC Beijing Summit, proposing the strategic conception of "One Belt One Road", and preparing to construct the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) etc., has drawn increasingly extensive international attention. The relation between China and the existing international order has become one of the central topics of the current world politics. The seminar gathered the first-class experts and scholars of the think tank community to exchange point of views, so as to acquire new inspirations and thoughts on key topics, make contributions to the positive development of Chinese and world situation, as well as provide guiding thoughts for further research of IISS.
