Let me talk about four issues that our country should pay attention to when making strategic choices in the next 10 years:
In the face of such a state, what should China do in the next 5-10 years, and what kind of strategic attitude should China choose, I think it is very important.
Clause. 1. Don't decouple easily. Decoupling is not a "patent" for Westerners. * It is very incisive, and it talks about a community with a shared future for mankind. Later, the "Belt and Road" initiative was proposed, and everyone thought about it, what is the essence of these two practices?Without decoupling, we must be connected with the whole world, and we must develop and secure together. Of course, it is unrealistic to completely reject decoupling in the process of buying and selling, for example, when the other party has violated the bottom line of our interests, it is absolutely necessary to take appropriate decoupling as a necessary countermeasure. Generally this type of decoupling is in content. Fan Yan. There is a limit to the extent and duration of the wandering. For example, the ups and downs in the relationship between China and the United States are a case in point.
Clause. 2. Don't give up easily. Although our country is facing a lot of troubles, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, we must not give up easily, and we must do everything possible to protect it, develop it, and find ways to make up for it.
To give you an example, I said at a meeting nearly 10 years ago that we need to organize and train an army that is good at fighting in deserts, mountains, residential areas, plateaus and cold areas, so as to improve the security and security capabilities of the Belt and Road Initiative, and when necessary, we can dispatch to support our projects in a timely manner for peacekeeping or other reasons. Americans can engage in this company, that company, such as Blackwater, why can't we properly learn some useful experience?It is necessary to keep up with the measures, to keep up with the methods, to talk empty words, to die, to lose money, to lose territory.
Major projects like the Belt and Road Initiative are long-term secondary projects that may require a generation or two of hard work to achieve the strategic goals we originally envisioned. We need to draw on some practical experiences of the United States, Britain, and other countries to think about how we can not infringe on the interests of the host country and protect our own interests and smoothly promote international cooperation under the premise of complying with international rules. Because China's situation has changed and the environment has changed, our attitude toward the country must also change, and we must study it, not talk empty words, but talk about reality and practical practices.
Clause. 3. Don't take sides easily. In international relations, the conflict between Kazakhstan and Israel, Russia and Ukraine is the most prominent example, as well as conflicts in India, Pakistan, Africa, Latin America and other regions, we do not take a stand easily, and strive to maintain neutrality. This is to ensure that our country can be more detached, that it is easier to deal with problems, and that there is room and room for return. When encountering problems, we should calmly analyze, see what kind of way to deal with it, and prepare several sets of plans.
Clause. Fourth, don't be prone to civil strife. Everyone can recall that in history, ancient and modern, both in China and abroad, all the subversion of state power and the demise of political parties are mostly caused by self-turmoil, which leads to internal decomposition and internal disintegration, which is very important for our country and an important lesson that can be learned from foreign countries. China is a big country, the most taboo is civil strife, so we have been mentioning the four self-confidence, four insistence and two maintenance issues, etc., these are all to solve a core problem, that is, to unite the whole party, the whole army and the whole people, and many problems must be properly solved by uniting everyone's strength.
The above four important issues are related to the fundamental interests of our development and development.
