For some time now, some in the united states have pursued a policy of unilateralism with impunity, becoming “problem makers” for the international community. They are swinging their sticks around, turning back on them, soft and hard, making the world safer。
Some in the united states do not hide their “u. S. First” logic of power and do not look at it for their own sake, whether in the security interests of others or in international rules and order. However, dealing with complex security issues through simple and brutal means such as “extreme pressure”, in particular by treating national security interests as “business”, can only create greater security dilemmas. It is common for the international community to find that the use of power for hegemony has taken many new forms, but it is also true, as stated in the united states atlantic monthly, that “the united states has been attacking countries that do not threaten it”。
The misperceptions of some in the united states have caused widespread concern and vigilance on the part of the international community, and it has become clearer to the world who is the real source of insecurity. A poll by the pew research centre in the united states indicated that the proportion of countries surveyed that viewed the united states as a threat jumped from 25 per cent in 2013 to 45 per cent in 2018. In united states allies such as japan and south korea, two thirds of respondents saw the united states as a major threat to global security。
Lasting peace is the shared dream of humankind for centuries. In today's world, where economic globalization is vast, economic cooperation among states has increased and dependency has deepened, and security issues are becoming increasingly dynamic, transnational and collaborative. The pattern of global power is undergoing profound change, with emerging market and developing countries as a whole gaining strength, increasing voice in international security matters and the days when a few countries dominate the international security order. The world calls for a new concept of security. China's vision of common, integrated, cooperative and sustainable security reflects the new characteristics of the international situation and the new requirements for the development of the times, in keeping with the common call for peace, development and cooperation. The pursuit of common security will be responsive to the realities of the convergence of interests, security and common interests of all countries of the world; the pursuit of integrated security, effective governance in the context of expanding security dimensions and outreach; the pursuit of cooperative security, peaceful settlement of disputes and the constant promotion of mutual trust; and the pursuit of sustainable security for the development of security for development, security for both the symptoms and the root causes for lasting peace and security。
China is committed to morality and its mission, and constantly contributes its full energy to world peace and development. China is both a permanent member of the united nations security council and a major peacekeeping power. China actively promotes the process of political settlement of hotspot issues, actively participates in bilateral and multilateral security cooperation and provides the world with more public security products, and is committed to promoting a more just and rational international order. “china is an important force in the maintenance of peace and security in the region and in the world”, “china's security propositions play a positive role in promoting and preserving regional development and prosperity” ... China's major power for justice, peace and security is highly valued。
“the trees of peace cannot grow on the barren land and the fruits of development cannot be borne in the fire of the sky.” china, which has grown up from poverty and weakness, knows the intrinsic logic of peace and development. Development for security has become china's most important base for maintaining international peace and security. German chancellor angela merkel praised china's development assistance in africa and considered it worthwhile to learn from germany by investing in africa to create more local jobs and contribute to security, peace and stability in african countries. In recent years, china has worked with the countries concerned to build a “one way forward” that provides a new platform for them to strengthen cooperation and improve the security environment。
Only through peaceful cooperation will there be world security. The insistence of some in the united states on the “cold-war mentality” and the belief in “zero-sum game” and the quest for so-called absolute security at the expense of others are neither conducive to world peace and security nor in keeping with the times. “the wise seek good and peace, and the fools are drunk in their quarrels and wars.” the answer is long before the vast majority of the world's people who love peace and hope for a better future, whether they are the poor, the poor, the neighbours, or the security, the common good and the cooperative。
