Abstract Since 2008, the world order has accelerated its transition, international competition and cooperation have reshaped the relative status of countries, profound changes have taken place in international interaction, and the structural effects of China's rise have attracted global attention. It is necessary to examine the evolution of China's international status in the changing global landscape. By constructing and applying the framework and index system of contemporary international status analysis, the paper demonstrates that China's international status presents a general trend of comprehensive, sustained and rapid rise from 2008 to 2018. Such a trend is based on the rapid accumulation of national strategic resources and is enhanced by China's growing influences in the global value system, the international investment market, and international institution system. The promotion of China's international status brings new strategic opportunities as well as unprecedented challenges. The paper makes a comparative analysis of the evolution of the international status of China, the US, India, and Japan, and proposes the following three long-term strategies for China: It's supposed to (1) continue deepening reform and openingup comprehensively, address the inadequacies in key technologies, and expand the path of accumulation of national strategic resources; (2) adhere to peaceful development, avoid falling into a zero-sum game trap with major powers, and expand strategic space for international cooperation; (3) push for new multilateralism cooperation, take the initiative in the global and regional development agenda-setting, and enhance international public goods supply capacity.
