In
the
15th
century，the
famous
Chinese
navigator
Zheng
He
led
seven
maritime
expeditions
to
the
Western
Seas
and
reached
over
30
countries.
He
took
with
him
Chinese
tea，silk
and
porcelain
and
helped
local
people
fight
pirates
as
he
sailed
along.
He
was
truly
a
messenger
of
love
and
friendship.
The
argument
that
a
big
power
is
bound
to
seek
hegemony
does
not
apply
to
China.
Seeking
hegemony
goes
against
China’s
cultural
tradition
as
well
as
the
will
of
the
Chinese
people.
China’s
development
harms
no
one
and
threatens
no
one.
We
shall
be
a
peace-loving
country，a
country
that
is
eager
to
learn
from
and
cooperate
with
others.
We
are
committed
to
building
a
harmonious
world.
Different
countries
and
nations
need
to
respect，tolerate
and
learn
from
each
other’s
culture.
Today，300
million
Chinese
are
learning
English
and
over
one
million
of
our
young
people
are
studying
abroad.
The
cultures
and
arts
of
various
parts
of
the
world
are
featured
daily
on
China’s
television，radio
and
media.
Had
we
not
learned
from
others
through
exchanges
and
enriched
ourselves
by
drawing
on
others’
experience，we
would
not
have
enjoyed
today’s
prosperity
and
progress.
In
the
21st
century，economic
