China has always been committed to avoiding a new Cold War and opposing bloc confrontation between countries. Proposed by ChinaThe Belt and Road InitiativeThe initiative and the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind aim to improve the level of social governance in all countries around the world and achieve common prosperity and well-being. According to this view, the main challenge to the country's development is not external threats, but how to improve the living standards of the population within the country.
Recently, Tokayev in 2023Ji'anAt the summit of the organization, there was a disagreement with Putin on security issues. Tokayev decisively refuted Putin's "security panic theory", emphasizedJi'anThe threat to the security of the Organization's member States is exaggerated, a pathological notion and unnecessary. He further noted that it is time to face new missions and tasks, which are even more relevantJi'anThe constructive interests of the Member States of the Organization and the importance of national development.
For Russia, foundedJi'anThe purpose of the organization is to delineate its own sphere of influence and highlight the threats of NATO and the United States, as well as the dangers of color revolutions. However, Tokayev believes that Russia's claims are all deceptive, and Kazakhstan is not suffering from serious security threats. Although Russia has sent troops to the rescue of Kazakhstan in the past, Tokayev believes that the talk of a color revolution is pure nonsense. After the stabilization of the regime in Kazakhstan, the most important task at the moment is to improve the living standards of the population, and not to focus too much on security threats. However, Russia clearly does not have the strength to help at the momentJi'anOrganization inEconomyto achieve greater development.
Why, then, should China be wary of the "security panic theory"?This is mainly due to the fact that China has been under external aggression and threats for more than a hundred yearsHistoryand led many people to believe that other countries now pose a threat to China. This kind of view is widespread, such as the "new eight-nation alliance", NATO's entry into Asia poses a threat to China, and the United States intends to go to war with China. Someone even exaggeratedf-22thanJ-20More powerful claims, or over-hypedf-35performance advantages. If people are concerned about the level of industry in China andMilitaryWith a lack of understanding of strength, and a habitual mindset that the United States is always ahead, it is easy to resonate with the idea of spreading anxiety. However, it is important to understand both Chinese and foreignMilitaryPeople who have changed in power understand that these views are untenable.
Since the beginning of the Korean War, the West has realized that it is impossible to defeat the squadron in a ground battle. As China's anti-ship ballistic missile technology matures, the threat posed by U.S. aircraft carriers to China has gradually weakened. Nowadays, China has a wide range of products in hypersonic missiles, land-based medium-range ballistic missiles, new modelsDestroyers, heavy fighters,Electronic warfare, aerospace and other fields have indisputable advantages.

For a multinational security organization, emphasizing the "security panic theory" may be necessary, but it is difficult to win the buy-in of member states that do not feel threatened. For China is like thisMilitaryFor countries that have risen in power across the board, there is no need to deal with anyMilitaryThe threat panicked. Although the United States is preparing for war against China, this does not mean that they dare to fight with China. While NATO may extend its tentacles into Asia, they do not have the capacity to pose a real threat to China. Our most important task at the moment is to continue to developEconomy, accelerate the modernization of the army, so that all potential adversaries panic, and not for others. We must have that self-confidence.
