(Photo/Qin Zuquan) Taken together, it all comes down to China's governance. The "Chinese sense of safety” is built upon a solid "safety net," Lu said. "It reflects the remarkable effectiveness of China's governance and highlights the institutional strengths of the country,” he added. At a time when the international landscape is marked by turbulence and overlapping risks, China's combination of stability and steady development is drawing attention -- not only for how it supports the lives of its 1.4 billion people, but also for the sense of certainty it offers to the world. In recent years, from the rise of "China Travel" as a global social media trend, to growing expressions of wanting to "become Chinese," and now to the widespread fascination with the "Chinese sense of safety,” more and more foreigners are experiencing the country firsthand, often revising earlier assumptions in the process. Official data show that in the first quarter of this year, the number of foreign visitors entering China visa-free rose by nearly 30 percent year on year -- another sign that the country’s opening up, stability, and sense of safety continue to resonate far beyond its borders.
