Towards the end of the year, an important meeting regarded as the "weather vane" of China's foreign policy was held in Beijing - China held the first foreign affairs work conference for the first time in five and a half years. Against the backdrop of a chaotic world and a complex and severe external environment for China's development, how can China's policymakers set the tone of its foreign policy?How will China's diplomacy exert its strength in the future?From this meeting, people are looking for answers.
Review and summarize the achievements and experience of China's diplomacy in the past ten years in the new eraJudge the general trend of the world;Promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind as the main line of China's future diplomatic work;Advocate an equal and orderly multipolar world and the ...... of economic globalization that benefits and inclusivenessThis conference was very informative. The outside world can clearly see the direction, goals, and focus of China's diplomacy, and feel the continuity and stability of China's foreign policy. Analysts generally believe that for China's diplomacy, this meeting is of significance as a link between the past and the future.
Over the past decade, China's diplomacy has been answering the questions of the times on the question of "what kind of world to build and how to build this world". The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has been included in the resolutions of the UN General Assembly for seven consecutive years, and has been included in the resolutions or declarations of multilateral mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS countries many times, and has been welcomed by the world. It has ...... facilitated the handshake between Saudi Arabia and Iran, mediated the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and responded to the challenge of climate changeChina stands on the side of fairness and justice, stands on the right side of history, has a growing "circle of friends", and its international influence is increasing day by day. Some commentators have pointed out that some Western powers have constantly provoked conflicts and confrontations in order to maintain hegemony, while China has made unremitting contributions to world peace and development and has become an "anchor of stability" in the world. That's why whenever something big happens in the world, people pay attention to what China sees and does.
At present, with geopolitical conflicts one after another, sluggish economic recovery, and frequent extreme weather, the international community is permeated with a pessimistic mood: will our world be okay?In this regard, the meeting made this judgment - "the general direction of human development and progress will not change, the general logic of the tortuous progress of world history will not change, and the general trend of the international community sharing a common destiny will not change." ”
Through the fog, the "three will not change" accurately "pulse" of the world situation, conveying valuable confidence to the world. As long as we focus on the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind, strengthen confidence, work together in times of need, and follow the right path of development, the current difficulties are temporary, and there are always more ways than difficulties.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of China's vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind. What is the vision of world development that it is pursuing?What is its implementation path and platform?The meeting gave a comprehensive and clear explanation, and clearly pointed out that China's future diplomatic work will continue to focus on promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
This concept has become the most distinctive 'identity' of China's diplomacy. Relevant experts pointed out to the "International Sharp Review" that neither the balanced balance diplomacy pursued by Europe in history nor the so-called "liberal internationalism" diplomacy of the United States has brought real peace and development to the world. In contrast, the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind embodies a completely different world view, view of order and values, and China hopes that not only will it develop well, but also all countries in the world can develop together. This concept will have a profound impact on the development of the world.
With clear and firm goals, there must also be ways to meet difficult challenges. At present, the prominent political and security risk in the world lies in the fact that some Western countries are worried about the sidelines of hegemony, wantonly suppressing other countries, promoting bloc confrontation, and advocating a "new Cold War". In the name of "de-risking", they also promote unilateralism and protectionism to hinder and undermine economic globalization. Constrained by unreasonable rules of global governance, the development of the vast number of developing countries has been hampered.
Against this background, the meeting put forward "two initiatives" -- advocating an equal and orderly world multipolarization and economic globalization that is inclusive and inclusive. This is highly relevant, embodies fairness and justice, represents the universal aspiration and common aspiration of the international community, and provides China's solutions to a series of major problems and challenges facing the world today.
From January 1, 2024, the BRICS mechanism will officially welcome new members, and the power of the "Global South" will be further strengthened. As a natural member of the Global South, China will continue to unite with developing countries to jointly uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, uphold the universally agreed basic norms governing international relations, and practice true multilateralismWe will resolutely promote investment liberalization and facilitation, increase the representation and voice of emerging market countries and developing countries, and ensure equal rights, rules and opportunities for all countries. If these problems are properly resolved, we are expected to usher in a new situation for world peace and development.
If the world is good, China will be good;If China is good, the world will be better. Through this foreign affairs work conference, it is not difficult for people to feel the rationality, self-confidence, and responsibility of China's diplomacy. "On the new journey, China's diplomacy will enter a new stage where we can do more. This means that China will make greater contributions to improving global governance and safeguarding world peace and development. And a China that is more effective is undoubtedly an opportunity and a good thing for the world.
