3. Based on the current adjustment of relations between major powers and the security situation in Asia, this paper discusses the security situation facing China and our countermeasures.

With the multipolarization of the world pattern and the deepening of economic globalization, the future and destiny of China have also undergone profound changes. In the face of ever-changing international forces, China faces both a golden opportunity for development and complex and fierce international competition. Therefore, a comprehensive and rational understanding and grasp of the characteristics and trends of the current international situation is of great and far-reaching significance for formulating a correct foreign strategy.

Analysis on the development trend and characteristics of the current international security situation

1. The overall international security situation tends to ease, and peace and development remain the themes of the times.

First of all, the painful lessons of the two world wars have prompted people of all countries to make up their minds to maintain peace so as to save future generations from the catastrophe of war. Secondly, nuclear weapons are destructive and deterrent enough to destroy the earth many times, so no one wants to die with the earth because of a nuclear war. Third, the rapid development of economic globalization has increased the dependence of all countries in the world, expanded the fields of common interests, and further reduced the possibility of world war.

Second, the factors that threaten world peace and development in the traditional security field still exist and have new manifestations.

First of all, local conflicts and hot issues come and go. In particular, these hot issues occur in sensitive areas of international geopolitics and geo-economy, which directly or indirectly affect the strategic interests of big countries in these areas, complicate the interests of big countries and add hidden dangers and variables to the relations between big countries. Second, national defense spending has increased year by year. This situation means that countries still regard military development as an important factor to safeguard their own security, and the threat of war between countries still exists. Third, the major nuclear powers have further strengthened their strategic strength, and the global proliferation of nuclear weapons is still serious, which brings great hidden dangers to world security.

Third, the threat posed by non-traditional security even exceeds that of war.

The first is international terrorism. Since 20 10, there has been a new rebound in terrorist activities, and the complexity and arduousness of combating terrorism have become more prominent. The frequency of terrorist attacks has increased, and the scope of activities and scale of attacks have expanded; The way of terrorist attacks is hard to prevent; The problem of double standards in the international anti-terrorism struggle makes the international anti-terrorism front tend to break. Secondly, environmental security issues. Global warming has aroused people's great concern about environmental safety. In recent years, global warming has led to frequent climate disasters and even threatened the survival of some small island countries. Third, financial security. The financial crisis not only hit developed countries, but also hit the virtual economy and real economy of emerging market countries and developing countries, causing many social and political problems. Finally, the increasingly serious drug trafficking and smuggling, the spread of serious infectious diseases, unscrupulous piracy and increasingly serious illegal immigration have had a huge negative impact on international security. The influence of the current international situation on China

First, the challenges faced by the traditional security environment in China

First of all, the military spending of countries around the Asia-Pacific region and China is increasing. At present, many countries in the Asia-Pacific region generally increase their military spending, speed up the adjustment of military strategy, and improve the operational level of weapons and personnel. If this situation continues, the security impact on China is self-evident. Behind the rising military expenditure of all countries is a new round of profound military adjustment and reform in all countries of the world. Secondly, the security risks brought by the surrounding environment in China should not be underestimated. China has territorial waters and territorial disputes with many neighboring countries. However, because these problems involve a wide range, historical and practical problems are complex, and international forces mediate, it is quite difficult to solve them. In addition, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction also poses a security threat to China. The ridge of nuclear weapons has been broken, and the world has entered a period of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, which has brought serious threats to the survival and development of human society.

Secondly, from the perspective of non-traditional security, China is also facing major threats.

At present, the threat of terrorism faced by China mainly comes from the separatist forces of "East Turkistan" in Xinjiang and "Tibet independence" in Tibet, religious fanaticism and its foreign forces. The threat brought by terrorism to China, Xinjiang and Tibet will undoubtedly become the weakness of national security in the future and the great worry of national security. Tibet and Xinjiang are China's internal affairs, but in the eyes of western political forces, this is their strategic means to effectively restrict China. During the Beijing Olympic Games, the West used Tibet-related issues to embarrass China. The same is true of Xinjiang-related issues, "9? After "1 1", although the west, especially the United States, distinguished anti-terrorism from human rights to a certain extent for anti-terrorism needs, they still adhered to double standards on Xinjiang-related issues. For a long time, the destructive activities of the separatist forces of "East Turkistan" and "Tibet independence" have consumed huge manpower, material resources and financial resources in China. If we can't deal with it effectively, it will have a negative impact on China's internal affairs and diplomacy, which is not conducive to the realization of China's national interests.

Third, China must bear the pressure from the United States in the process of its peaceful rise.

After Obama took office, the US government has obviously increased its attention and investment in the Asia-Pacific region, trying to promote the transfer of the US strategic center to the Asia-Pacific region. Since 20 10, the United States has frequently conducted military exercises in this region. On the basis of strengthening the relationship between Japan-ROK alliance and the United States and India, it has expanded its alliance with Thailand, the Philippines and other countries, and strived to make the bilateral alliance strongly extend to trilateral and multilateral alliances. In order to promote the strategy of "returning to Asia", the Obama administration has also fully participated in Asia-Pacific affairs, actively joined the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia, made a high-profile introduction to the South China Sea issue of China, and made finger-pointing on the territorial issue of China in an attempt to curb China's growing influence and maintain its advantages and leading position in the Asia-Pacific region. At present, the United States has stepped up its efforts to build a "C"-shaped military encirclement around China to contain China. The density of American military bases around China is even denser than when dealing with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

China's Countermeasures under the Current International Security Situation

First, make full use of all available conditions and resources, concentrate on developing the economy and strengthen the construction of soft power.

Peace, development and cooperation are historical trends. We must follow the trend, seize this hard-won period of strategic opportunities, and accelerate the process of peaceful rise. Only when our own strength is strong can we ensure our own security and safeguard world peace more effectively.

From an international perspective, the great changes and adjustments in the world economic structure will certainly give birth to new development opportunities. China should take this financial crisis as an opportunity to promote international financial supervision cooperation and order reconstruction, actively participate in the formulation of new international economic rules, strive for more voice in international economic affairs, and improve China's voice and international status; Seize the opportunity of international industrial adjustment, speed up overseas acquisitions with sufficient foreign exchange reserves, and strengthen the strength of Chinese banks and enterprises. Domestically, it is necessary to maintain growth on the basis of expanding domestic demand, persist in giving priority to changing the development mode and adjusting the economic structure, and change the unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable economic development in China.

The financial crisis not only weakened the hard power of the United States, but also hit its soft power hard. This shows that the American model has many problems and hidden dangers. Of course, there are both macro-level and micro-level problems here; There are economic problems as well as political, social and cultural problems. The universal value influence of American neo-liberal economic development model has been greatly reduced in this financial crisis, while the China model, characterized by political and social stability, gradual reform, effective government regulation of economic activities and emphasis on the real economy, has withstood the severe test of the global financial crisis, which undoubtedly enhanced China's soft power to a great extent. Of course, China should continue to cultivate its core values, effective ideology, appealing lifestyle and basic system in the construction of soft power.

Second, efforts should be made to create a good international environment and properly handle China's relations with the United States and neighboring countries.

(1) Sino-US relations. Compared with the United States, China is only a regional power at present. From a certain point of view, China does not have much room for strategic maneuver. China's sustained economic success depends largely on the inflow of western capital and technology, as well as the potential talents in foreign markets. In recent years, China's foreign trade volume has exceeded 60% of China's total economic output, and its dependence on foreign trade ranks first among major countries in the world. If Sino-US relations deteriorate, China's economic development will undoubtedly be greatly affected, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will also be seriously frustrated or even difficult to achieve. Therefore, the overall stability of Sino-US relations is the top priority of China's foreign relations. In recent years, the cooperation between China and the United States in many fields has been generally smooth. On many issues, China adheres to the principles of being pragmatic, flexible, moderate and realistic, which really conforms to the strategy put forward by Comrade Xiaoping. However, the structural contradiction between China and the United States determines that the two countries will inevitably have frictions in the future political and military fields, as well as in the economic and cultural fields. However, no matter what contradictions arise, Sino-US relations will not deteriorate completely, and the interests of the two countries are still greater than each other's interests.

(2) The relationship between China and neighboring countries. China has the largest number of neighboring countries in the world. These countries have different political and economic systems, cultural traditions and religious beliefs. Some countries still have territorial disputes with China and other historical issues, and the situation is quite complicated. In the new century, China unswervingly pursues the neighboring foreign policy of being a good neighbor and partner, strengthens good-neighborly and friendly cooperation with neighboring countries and regions, actively solves most historical issues such as borders, and creates a peaceful, stable, equal, mutual trust and win-win cooperation surrounding environment, thus creating the best period in the history of China's relations with neighboring countries. China maintains good relations with Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, Northeast Asia and South Pacific countries, and the cooperation and exchanges in various fields are constantly expanding and deepening, showing a strong development momentum.

Third, strive to promote the reform of the international political and economic system and maximize the right to speak in international affairs.

At present, the main strategic forces are playing a fierce game around the redistribution of rights in the adjustment and reform of the international structure, and the contest between developed countries and emerging powers and developing countries in the reform of the international financial system and greenhouse gas emission reduction is unprecedented fierce. Although the existing international order is dominated by western developed countries, which is unreasonable and unfair, and cannot fully meet the needs of multipolarization of the international pattern and the development of world economic globalization, this system still plays an important role in world and regional security and world economic development. Instead of reinventing itself, we should actively participate in and promote reforms. For China, it is necessary not only to realize the inevitability of establishing a new international order, but also to be good at seizing opportunities, promoting reform in a constructive way, ensuring the stability of the reform process and the rationality of the results, so as to maximize the right to speak and participate in international affairs.

As the trend of global economic power is more and more obvious, the redistribution of economic power is not as sensitive as the redistribution of political power. Therefore, we should promote the reform of the international system from the economic level, and let China participate in the formulation of international game rules by enhancing China's right to speak in the international economic system, so as to better safeguard and reflect China's national interests. Second, we should promote the reform of the international political system. Specifically, it is to support the reform of the UN Security Council to make it more representative, especially to increase the number of permanent seats for developing countries and expand China's influence and voice in this important decision-making mechanism. In addition, a positive attitude towards the reform of the UN Security Council will also help to prevent China from being regarded as a vested interest in opposing the reform and enhance the image of China as a responsible big country.
