A new pattern is in the making in the midst of intense turbulence in the international situation, and China is making fresh, important contributions to building a new type of international relations, according to an annual flagship publication released by Beijing-based think tank China Institute of International Studies.
As regional wars and conflicts flared up, unilateralism, hegemonism and bullying practices caused serious harm, "posing grave threats to peace and development and unprecedented damage to the international order", said the CIIS Blue Book on International Situation and China's Foreign Affairs (2025/2026) released in Beijing on Wednesday.
"The international landscape has evolved toward an important watershed, with unilateralism and hegemonism finding no support. There has been growing practical demand for multilateralism, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, and global peace and development," the book said.
China will keep advancing the vision of building a community with a shared future for humanity and "will contribute valuable stability and certainty to a turbulent world", it added.
Chen Bo, president of the CIIS, said that in the face of turmoil in the global security landscape, China "has consistently supported relevant countries in mediating heated conflicts and has made significant contributions to the peaceful settlement of disputes and conflicts".
