Common dream of a better Asian future

Asia is a vibrant continent with unique features within the world's political and economic landscape, embracing different civilizations, varying types of institutions and a wide range of development paths. China as a member of the Asian family always insists on putting its own progress within the broader picture of the common development of Asia.

Asia as a whole has maintained peace and stability and sustained economic growth over the first decade of the 21st century, having emerged as the world's most rapidly growing region. China's rise and Asia's rejuvenation are inseparable, and the Chinese Dream and the dreams of other Asian countries illuminate each other and constitute positive interaction. Rooted in the soil of regional peace and stability this interaction can grow and thrive.

The realization of the Chinese Dream is conducive to facilitating the rejuvenation of Asia, as China's robust economic growth has injected strong vigor into Asia's development. Statistics show that China's imports from other Asian countries reached $1.03 trillion in 2012, which has created lots of jobs in these countries. As the world's largest holder of foreign exchange reserves, China remains a major market player and source of investment for many Asian countries. And as Chinese companies are encouraged to go global, Asian countries are popular destinations for Chinese businesses looking to expand overseas. As China advances its national strategies of urbanization, expands domestic demand and continues economic restructuring, these will also stimulate economic growth throughout Asia.
