The past few days have witnessed some major developments on China's diplomacy. On April 27th, leaders from China and India had their first ever "informal summit" in Wuhan. A broad consensus on issues of global and bilateral importance has been reached. Are China and India on a "reset" track?

May 1st saw the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Dominican Republic. Why now? And how significant is that?

On May 2nd and 3rd, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Pyongyang, during which Kim Jong-un thanked China for its contribution to the Korean Peninsula issue. What message do we get from a series of peace efforts to denuclearize the Penisula?

And In the upcoming week, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will visit Indonesia and Japan. What to expect?
