How about the international form recently?

Let's refer to the following points: characteristics 1: the trend of world multipolarization is developing in twists and turns, and the relations between major powers are generally stable. For a long time to come, the basic situation of the world will be that a superpower coexists with various forces. After the cold war, the United States became the only superpower. According to the estimation of the International Monetary Fund, the global GDP in 2004 was 40. 1 1 trillion dollars. Among them, the United States reached 1 1.75 trillion US dollars, accounting for nearly 30%, followed by Japan, about 4.62 trillion US dollars; This was followed by German $2.67 trillion, British $ 2. 1.3 trillion, French 1.99 trillion, China and Italy 1.65 trillion, Canadian $0.97 trillion, Spanish $0.96 trillion and Korean $0.66 trillion. The United States has the largest military expenditure, reaching $4162 billion in fiscal year 2005, exceeding the sum of other big countries. The United States also has strong scientific and technological strength, with an annual R&D expenditure of nearly $300 billion, accounting for 1/3 of the world total. Among the "Global 1000 Top Enterprises" in 2003, there were 487 in the United States, accounting for almost half. After the "9. 1 1" incident, the United States adjusted its security and diplomatic strategy, taking counter-terrorism, non-proliferation and ensuring local security as its primary policy objectives. However, most countries disapprove of American unilateralism and "preemptive strike", and American allies also have different opinions. In Iraq alone, the United States paid a high price. According to American official statistics, from the outbreak of the Iraq war to the end of major combat operations on May 1 2003, a total of 139 American soldiers died. But then the death toll doubled. As of March 4, 2005, 65,438+0,502 American soldiers were killed and more than 65,438+0,000 were injured. The US military expenditure in Iraq is also very large. It is estimated that the total amount will exceed $200 billion this year, which is equivalent to more than $2,000 paid by every American family for the Iraq war. Other forces in the world are also growing. Russia's economic growth has accelerated for six consecutive years, and its national strength has gradually recovered. In 2004, the economy grew by 7%. After re-election in 2004, President Putin proposed to double the GDP by 20 10. The process of EU integration is accelerating. Last May, 1 expanded to 25 countries, and the total economic output reached124.8 billion US dollars, surpassing the United States. The political alliance has entered a new stage, with the signing of the European Constitutional Treaty in June 65438+ 10 last year. The EU is still carrying out national defense construction, with a growing sense of independence and international influence. Japan is not only the second largest economy in the world, but also the largest creditor country and the largest foreign exchange reserve country. Gradually out of the shadow of long-term economic stagnation, is trying to become a political power. India, Brazil, South Africa and other large developing countries have a strong momentum of development, and the vast number of developing countries have joined forces to enhance their comprehensive strength. More and more countries advocate democratization of international relations, multilateralism and diversification of development models. There are both cooperation and competition among big countries, both contests and compromises, both mutual reference and mutual containment, and the trend of world multipolarization is more clear. This multipolarization is different from the hegemony of great powers in history. After two world wars and a cold war in the last century, today's multi-polarization trend reflects the desire of people of all countries to safeguard world peace, promote common development and progress of the times. The trend of multipolarization and the overall stability of relations between major powers have objectively provided a more favorable international security environment for the development of China. Feature 2: With the deepening of economic globalization and regional cooperation, countries are increasingly interdependent. Cars of many countries and brands are driving on the streets of our country, and the Internet has entered thousands of households in urban and rural areas of our country. At the same time, supermarkets in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the United States, Europe and many other countries have products. It is estimated that every American has a dress made in China, and many computers, color TVs and even Christmas trees used by Americans are made in China. Economic globalization is happening around us. The trend of economic globalization is the objective requirement and inevitable result of the development of social productive forces. At present, high-tech represented by information technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology, new energy technology and new material technology have made continuous breakthroughs, which have effectively promoted the development of economic globalization. Developed countries transfer traditional industries abroad and concentrate on developing new economy. Developing countries with good conditions are also participating in the process of economic globalization, accelerating their own industrial upgrading, technological progress, economic development and institutional innovation. In this way, the world economy is gradually merging into an inseparable whole through the global flow and optimal allocation of production factors such as capital, technology and labor. This provides more opportunities and space for the development of all countries. A Boeing 747 has 4.5 million parts, * * * produced by 1500 large enterprises and 15000 small and medium-sized enterprises in 65 countries, including many enterprises in China. Bayer Pharmaceuticals of Germany has established cooperative relations with more than 35,000 domestic and foreign enterprises. Bayer provides intermediate products, and other enterprises process them into final products. This internationalization at the enterprise level has made the production links such as design, R&D, processing and manufacturing, assembly and final assembly that were originally carried out in an enterprise globally optimized. Economic globalization also promotes the development of regional integration. Regional integration is an important means for countries to cope with international competition and improve their status under the situation of economic globalization. By the end of June 5438+ 10, 2005, there were more than 160 valid bilateral and multilateral trade agreements filed with the World Trade Organization. The European Union, the North American Free Trade Area and East Asian cooperation centered on ASEAN-China and ASEAN-China, Japan and South Korea are particularly noticeable. This trend is conducive to promoting global economic diversification, development model diversification and world multipolarization. As the largest developing country, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up, our comprehensive national strength has been enhanced and we have formed our own advantages in many aspects. Properly grasped, we can take advantage of the international and domestic markets and resources to participate in international cooperation and competition in a wider scope, in a wider field and at a higher level, promote the adjustment and upgrading of industrial structure, implement Scientific Outlook on Development and promote comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. Economic globalization has also increased risks and challenges. At present, the international economic order is still unreasonable on the whole, which is manifested in unbalanced development and widening gap between North and South. Developed countries have advantages in capital, technology, talents and information. , in a dominant position in the international market, and to a considerable extent, holds the right to formulate international economic rules, thus becoming the main beneficiary of economic globalization. Developing countries are at a disadvantage, facing enormous competitive pressure, and many countries are in danger of being marginalized. China is the fastest growing developing country, but it is also often the victim of the unreasonable international order. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace. According to the statistics of June 5438+February last year of the United Nations, the annual per capita GDP in the world is over 57,000 US dollars at the highest and only 86 US dollars at the lowest, a difference of 666 times. The average life expectancy of high-income countries is 78.3 years, while that of low-income countries is only 49. 1 year, a difference of nearly 30 years. In other words, people in different countries face unequal life expectancy at birth, which is a simple and harsh fact that western human rights experts usually don't want to mention. Economic globalization has also aggravated the gap between the rich and the poor in some countries and even triggered social conflicts. In order to solve this problem step by step, we advocate strengthening South-South cooperation and North-South dialogue. The key is that each developing country should first do its own thing well. China's successful experience is to unswervingly implement the party's fundamental policy of "one center and two basic points". Feature 3: Traditional and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, and unstable and uncertain factors are increasing. The world maintains overall peace and stability, and the surrounding environment of China is in a good historical period. But the world is not peaceful, and traditional security threats still exist. Hegemonism and power politics have new manifestations, local conflicts caused by ethnic and religious contradictions and border territorial disputes have come and gone, and regional hot issues are complicated. Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Iraq issue, India-Pakistan conflict, Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, Iranian nuclear issue, etc. It seems that it will not be solved in a short time. Non-traditional security threats are on the rise. Among them, the threat of terrorism is particularly prominent. Last year, there were nearly 1700 terrorist incidents in the world, especially the "3. 1 1" explosion in Spain and the hostage incident in Beslan, Russia, which shocked the world. Counter-terrorism will be a long-term task. The international community is also facing severe challenges such as weapons proliferation, environmental degradation, drug smuggling, illegal immigration, transnational crimes and serious infectious diseases. Energy security, resource security, financial security, food security, information security and transport corridor security are also issues of common concern to all countries. Feature 4: Diversity and pluralism of the world. Different civilizations, nationalities, religions and development models meet in competition. More than 6 billion people in the world live in more than 200 countries and regions, belong to 2,500 nationalities and speak more than 6,000 languages. There are many religions and many atheists. Different countries and regions have different social systems and values. This diversity is formed in a long history and is the driving force to promote the progress of world civilization. Confucius, an ancient thinker in China, said, "Everything coexists without harming each other, and Tao goes hand in hand without contradicting each other". Therefore, human civilization is rich and colorful. More and more countries realize the necessity of dialogue among civilizations, and various forms of "dialogue among civilizations" have promoted mutual understanding and friendly cooperation among countries. Different development models should transcend the differences between ideology and social system, balance each other in competition and learn from each other in communication. Individual countries do the opposite and try their best to impose their own political systems and values on others. This is a violation of human rights in other countries, runs counter to the trend of democracy, and also leads to the intensification of contradictions in some parts of the world. Feature 5: China's peaceful development has become an important factor affecting the international situation, and China's international status has steadily increased. Since the reform and opening-up 26 years ago, China's economy has developed continuously and rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of over 9%. In 2004, China's GDP was more than ten times that of 1978, and its per capita GDP exceeded 1000 USD. Health care conditions and living standards have been continuously improved. According to the statistics of the United Nations Development Programme, the average life expectancy of China people has increased from 39 years in 1949 to over 70 years now. The development of China itself is a contribution to world peace and development. Since 1980s, China has solved the problem of food and clothing for more than 200 million poor people, which is a feat in human history. World Bank President Wolfensohn said that China has made the greatest contribution to global poverty reduction in the past 20 years and set an example for global poverty reduction. Over the past 26 years, the average annual economic growth rate of China has been about 6 percentage points faster than that of the world, which has significantly enhanced the pull of world economic growth. 1980 by 2000, China's contribution rate to the growth of world trade and services ranked third in the world, next only to the United States and Japan. In 2003, China's contribution to global economic growth reached 18.2%. According to public opinion, China has become the engine of regional and world economy. The international attention to the RMB exchange rate in the past two years shows that our influence on the world economy is growing. The development of China has brought and will continue to bring broad market and cooperation space to the region and the world. In 2004, China's total import volume reached US$ 56 13 billion, making it the third largest importer in the world. 20 10 may exceed 1 trillion dollars. At least in the next decade, China's market capacity will continue to develop rapidly. The world is optimistic about China's development potential and huge market, and strengthening cooperation with China has become the common policy orientation of all countries. In 2004, foreign direct investment in China exceeded $60 billion. More than 450 of the world's top 500 multinational companies have invested in China. All the world's top auto giants have entered China, and more than 90 global 100 information industries have entered China. There are more than 600 foreign R&D centers and more than 30 regional headquarters of multinational corporations in China. 1997 during the Asian financial crisis, the China government was anxious for its neighbors, and promised that the RMB would not depreciate. It provided more than 4 billion US dollars of assistance to the countries concerned through multilateral and bilateral channels, making an important contribution to the financial stability of the region and even the world. Beijing's successful bid for the 2008 Olympic Games and Shanghai's successful bid for the 20 10 World Expo all show that we have many friends who hope that China will play a greater role in the world. There is also an unprecedented phenomenon-the upsurge of learning Chinese has begun to appear around the world. /kloc-2,300 universities in more than 0/00 countries have offered Chinese courses, and about 30 million foreigners are learning Chinese. The Chinese proficiency test has been set up in 87 cities in 35 countries. In the United States, Chinese has become the second largest foreign language after Spanish. In Canada, except for English and French, most people use Chinese. Chinese is the largest foreign language in Australia. Conclusion: It can be seen that the world is in a period of profound change and transition to multipolarization. All countries should accelerate the development of comprehensive national strength and strive to occupy a favorable position in the future international order. We are faced with rare opportunities, complex international environment and fierce competition. Opportunities include challenges, and there may be opportunities in the challenges. At present and in the future, the fundamental task and goal of China's diplomatic work is to safeguard the important period of strategic opportunities for China's development, strive for a peaceful and stable international environment, a good-neighborly surrounding environment, an equal and mutually beneficial cooperation environment and an objective and friendly public opinion environment, and serve the building of a well-off society in an all-round way.
