How to grasp the international situation facing our country

Accurately judging and scientifically grasping the international situation is an important prerequisite for formulating correct internal and external policies and is also an inevitable requirement for safeguarding the overall situation of national reform, development, and stability. The "Decision" of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16 th CPC Central Committee gave an incisive description of the current international environment in which our party is in power, pointing out: "As we enter a new century and a new stage, new and profound changes have taken place in the international situation, the trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization continues to develop in twists and turns, scientific and technological progress is changing with each passing day, competition in comprehensive national strength is becoming increasingly fierce, various ideologies and cultures are agitating each other, various contradictions are intricately intertwined, the strategic plot of hostile forces to westernize and divide our country has not changed, and we are still faced with the development of developed countries in the economic, Pressure to dominate in terms of technology and so on.

This exposition adheres to the basic judgment of the 16 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the international situation, and further points out the impact of international factors on China's development, which is of important guiding significance for China to make better use of external favorable factors and resolve external unfavorable factors in the future development process. A comprehensive analysis of the current international situation shows that the favorable factors mainly include: maintaining peace and promoting development are related to the well-being of the people of all countries, are the common aspirations of the people of all countries, and are also an irresistible historical trend; The development of the trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization has brought opportunities and favorable conditions for world peace and development. A new world war cannot be fought in the foreseeable period, and it is possible to strive for a peaceful international environment and a good surrounding environment for a longer period of time.

The main unfavorable factors include: the unjust and irrational old international political and economic order has not been fundamentally changed; Uncertainties affecting peace and development are increasing; The elements of traditional and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, and the threat of terrorism is on the rise. There are new manifestations of hegemonism and power politics; Ethnic and religious contradictions, border and territorial disputes, and local conflicts come and go; The gap between the North and the South has widened. In understanding and grasping the development and changes in the international situation, it is necessary to focus on understanding and grasping the development of the trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization.

Because they are two major factors that have a decisive impact on the evolution of the international landscape. So, how should we view the development of the trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization amid twists and turns? World multipolarization refers to the structure of international relations formed in a certain historical period through the interaction of basic political forces such as countries and groups of countries that have an important impact on international relations.

The so-called "transformation" is a trend, not a reality, indicating that there is a fairly long transition period before the formation of a multipolar pattern.

It's just to look at the ranking of the economy.

1. Changes in the current international situation:

The international situation has generally maintained a trend of peace, relaxation and stability, but local wars, turmoil and tensions have intensified. Hegemonism is the main source of turmoil in today's world.

International terrorism is strong, and the international fight against terrorism is grim; The issue of double standards in the international fight against terrorism reflects the tendency of divisions within the international counter-terrorism front.

2. Characteristics of the current international situation:

It is generally summarized as a situation of "one superpower, many powers, strong alliances": one superpower and six powers: that is, one superpower (the United States) and six powers (China, Russia, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany).

Strong alliances: that is, the US-Japan alliance, the NATO military bloc of the United States, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and the military alliances of the United States, Japan, Australia, the United States, Japan and South Korea, the United States and New Zealand, and the United States and the Philippines.

3. China's strategy to cope with changes in the international situation:

China must correctly grasp the new development trend and characteristics of the international situation, and actively pursue advantages and avoid international political and economic challenges.

It is necessary to take the initiative to participate in the process of formulating many new international rules, and internally, it is still necessary to unswervingly adhere to the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world.

China should seize the opportunity period for development, and at the same time, try its best to resolve the contradictions in all aspects, so that China's development can smoothly pass through the current period of collision of interests.

China must vigorously implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and technology and strive to raise its own scientific and technological level, so as to provide a scientific and technological guarantee for China's development and a solid and effective scientific and technological guarantee for China's further development.
