The "Four Comprehensive" strategic thinking and strategic layout provide the basic impetus, basic assurance, basic support and basic political guarantee for China's PDR. Meanwhile, the PDR is the external conditions for realization of the "Four Comprehensive" strategic layout, and the escort for its smooth realization. The "Four Comprehensive" strategic thinking broadens the PDR, enriches and expands the connotation and extension of the PDR, put new era characteristics on the PDR, and furthers and develops the diplomatic theoretical system with the Chinese characteristics.展开更多
