China’s Impact

Professor Zhang Weiwei, a leading voice on foreign affairs, draws on his observations from over a hundred nations to present a compelling interpretation of China’s global engagement, framed through a distinctively Chinese perspective.邓小平资深翻译、著名外交学者 张维为教授手记百国经验，用中国话语解读世界中的中国China’s Impact: Observations and Reflections Through a Global LensOver the past three decades, Professor Zhang Weiwei has visited more than 100 countries and regions. From the initial shock of his first trip abroad in the 1980s to the widespread 'China fever' now observable overseas; from serving as an interpreter for national leaders during state visits to becoming an influential academic researcher engaged in international exchanges, the author has consistently strived to observe the world and reflect on China from a broad international perspective. He addresses pressing issues related to China’s rise, tackling even the most challenging questions without evasion.We are living in one of the most exciting eras of transformation in human history, and China stands at the center of this historic change. Whether or not one uses the term 'China’s rise,' the international community has widely acknowledged the pervasive reality of China’s ascent.China’s rise has made a profound impact on the world. As the Chinese people reflect on their own development and perceptions of international issues, they should, while drawing on global wisdom, also examine them through their own values, articulate them in their own discourse, and confidently provide objective assessments of their nation and the wider world.《中国触动：百国视野下的观察与思考》30年来，张维为教授走访了100多个国家和地区。自1980年代第一次出国感受到的震惊，到今天在海外随处可见的'中国热'；从作为国家领导人的翻译陪同国事访问，到成为有一定影响力的学术研究者参加国际交流，作者力求从一个比较宽广的国际视野出发，来观察世界、思考中国，特别是探讨与中国崛起有关的热点问题，再尖锐的问题，也不回避。我们正处在人类历史上一个最激动人心的变革时代，而中国是这场历史性变革的中心。不管你是否使用'中国崛起'这四个字，国际社会已普遍接受了这个中国的崛起这个无处不在的事实。中国崛起触动了世界。中国人对于自己的发展，对于国际问题的认知，应该在汲取世界智慧的同时，也用自己的价值观加以检验，用自己的话语加以论述，客观自信地评述自己的国家和外部的世界。
