President Xi Jinping's keynote speech has a beautiful lexicon and profound meanings. It's among the most touching speeches that I've heard in recent years.

The Belt and Road Initiative upholds the principle of openness and sharing, by discussing and exploring collaborative models with all parties. This is highly impressive, as China has no intention to impose any development models on anyone.
