Abstract：With the acceleration of globalization and the increasing multipolarization of the international system， a number of significant and “like-minded” middle powers have gone beyond the multilateral agenda， strengthened and expanded coordination， and formed institutionalized groups. This move extends the scope of middle power diplomacy and enhances the voice and influence of middle powers in terms of global governance, economic development, and international system reconstruction. As for China， middle power grouping is not only an opportunity， but also a pressure. China should strengthen its communication with middle powers， seek common interests from cooperation， maximize the benefit， and minimize the challenges of middle power grouping．
