如何看中国中国为什么自信:如何看中国特色社会主义(英文)

　　《中国为什么自信：如何看中国特色社会主义（英文）》：　　Chinese people have a historical claim to the Silk Road，as China was where the route originated and gave rise to the convergence and dissemination of Eastern and Western cultures - a confluence that would offer later generations a model for mutually beneficial cooperation. The seeds of such a peace were sown in the Ming Dynasty， when Chinese explorer Zheng He set off on his famous seve'n voyages， leaving a sense of friendly relations with the 30 plus countries he encountered along his route. In early modern times， however， China was isolationist in its attitude and overly confident in its own abilities. Our ancestors suffered a setback， and the country had to taste the bitter consequences ofits "closed-door policy"， which ultimately led to China's poverty， lack of development， ignorance， and near demise.　　After the founding of the PRC， and since the beginning of reform and opening up， China's road has become ever wider.It has given the Chinese people a valuable lesson - the road to success cannot be built with an isolationist or reactionary mindset. China will only be understood by other nations if it engages with the world， which will in turn lead to mutual development and "win-win" results for both sides.　　As it has progressed along its path， China has gone from setting up Special Economic Zones to opening up coastal cities，river regions， and border areas， and eventually implementing all-around opening up. It has seen the successful conclusion of the APEC meeting and its own accession to the WTO.Through attracting foreign investment and doing business overseas， the country's road to opening up is getting more spacious. As the pace of this process gets faster， the road is having a far-reaching influence around the world.　　……
