N2  - Six basic principles for reforming the UN, which included 'increasing the representation of developing countries', 'the principle of geographic balance', and 'the principle of achieving consensus through consultation'. This showed no fundamental differences with the claims that Chinese representatives made during the early 1990s.  Based on a content analysis of Chinese public statements, China's three key foci regarding reform are namely, the issue of systemic reform, regional representation and the timetable of reform. In general, China tries to balance legitimacy and efficiency with regard to UN Security Council reform, which mostly comes from its domestic experiences in economic reform and traditional Chinese philosophy called 'Zhongyong dialectics'
