CNN Beijing chief: China's challenges, opportunities (5)

"China has its redeeming virtues and values, but China also has its set of problems. China has made a lot of successes, but China also faces a lot of challenges," he said.

He added that a strong and stable China is beneficial for the world.

"What the world doesn't want to see is an unstable China, nor a China that's in chaos. Because we've seen what it's like before, and it's not pretty. I think the world hopes that China will be a positive force as a strong power," he said.
