BEIJING: China has signalled its intentions to be a good neighbour, listing its efforts to get along with countries in the region, even as it warned that it would not allow “its goodwill to be abused”.

“We are neighbours who cannot move. Asia is our common home,” said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, noting that China has collaborated with its neighbours on projects like the China-Laos Railway, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and the China-Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline.
