Abstract

The coming period will be a critical period for China to adapt to the profound changes unseen in a century, and also a historical period in which the timeframes of the Two Centenary Goals converge. In the face of a more complicated and severe international environment, China remains in an important period of strategic opportunity for development in the new era.

The previous driving force originated more from opportunities or conditions outside China, while the strategic opportunities in the new era depended more on China’s own choices or behaviors.
