Cette orientation a été confirmée après l'accession au pouvoir de Hu Jintao en 2002. Tout en privilégiant des relations harmonieuses et stables avec ses voisins asiatiques, la Chine, un des 5 membres permanents du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, aujourd'hui première puissance démographique et deuxième puissance économique mondiale en PPA, souhaite se placer sur un pied d'égalité avec les autres grandes puissances mondiales (Union européenne, Russie, États-Unis d'Amérique) tout en développant sa présence, notamment économique, dans d'autres pays du Tiers Monde. La République populaire de Chine n'a jamais reconnu l'indépendance de facto de Taïwan et souhaite à terme recouvrer la pleine souveraineté sur ce territoire. Si la RPC la considère toujours comme « un territoire inséparable de la Chine » ou comme une « province devant un jour revenir à la mère patrie » . La République Populaire de Chine propose à la République de Chine (Taïwan), une réunification sous l'idée « un pays, deux systèmes », idée émise au départ par Deng Xiaoping en 1979 , et mise en forme en 1981 par la déclaration en 9 points de Ye Jiangying Proposition qui a toujours été rejeté par les gouvernements successifs de la République de Chine (Taïwan). En 1999 Lee Teng-hui, déclara que les relations entre la Chine et Taïwan étaient des « relations spéciales d'état à état».

Excerpt: P2! -let's Play Pingpong!- Pts Rettsu Purei Pinpon) is a Japanese shnen manga sports series running in the magazine Weekly Shnen Jump. Created by mangaka Tatsuma Ejiri, it series ran in the magazine from September 2006 through its conclusion in November 2007. The series is about Hiromu Aikawa, a small yet slightly unathletic middle school boy. Finding himself with a competitive streak that forces him to embarrass himself, he attempts and fails to join twelve separate sports clubs with little success. However as he is about to give up, he wanders into the practice area for the school ping-pong team, which inspires him to at least make another attempt into a sport. Although he nearly fails, his courage and determination in front of the club heads allow him to join the club and start playing ping-pong. The school (located near Kuse city, a former port city) where the majority of the cast attends, the Kuze ping pong club gained notoriety when it overthrew the Ohka Haou, or "Supreme Kings". After that, the three major players, Kawazue, Asobe, and Tetsuo, were given the title of "Ripping King".
