China's ** about the commentator Xu Lifan.

On February 17, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China and head of the Communist Party of China, attended the Munich Security Conference and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Firmly Be a Stabilizing Force in a Turbulent World" at the "China Session".

Wang Yi pointed out that all countries should seek win-win results, avoid losing more, unite and cooperate, work together in times of need, inject more certainty into the world, and create a better future for mankind. Wang Yi said that as a responsible major country, China will always maintain the continuity and stability of its major policies and firmly be a stabilizing force in a turbulent world. The first is to be a stabilizing force to promote cooperation among major countries; the second is to be a stabilizing force to deal with hot issues; Third, it is necessary to be a stabilizing force for strengthening global governance; Fourth, it is necessary to be a stabilizing force for global growth.

The interpretation of these four "stabilizing forces" demonstrates China's responsibility for maintaining world peace, and demonstrates China's top-level thinking and action plan for promoting global security governance.

China's positioning in response to the great changes in the world.

In recent years, with the readjustment of relations between major powers, the intensification of geopolitical games, the resurgence of the Cold War mentality, the rise of bloc politics and power politics, and the so-called "small courtyard and high wall," "parallel system," "Five Eyes Alliance," "Quadrilateral mechanism," "trilateral security partnership," and NATO's expansion from the east to the north are all concrete manifestations of the profound changes that have taken place in the international political and economic order, and these political manipulations have undoubtedly aggravated the turmoil in the world. In the midst of the accelerating changes in the world, China is positioned to be a stabilizing force in a turbulent world. This positioning of China has been reflected in its strategic actions in the past.

We will continue to promote the implementation of the consensus reached by the heads of state of China and the United States, establish the tone of dialogue rather than confrontation and win-win rather than zero-sum exchanges, promote the high-level development of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era, adhere to the positioning of the China-EU partnership, support the EU's strategic autonomy, and promote the stability of major-country cooperation.

The resumption of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, the resolution of millennium contradictions in the Middle East, the expansion of the BRICS to 10 countries, the successful holding of the 3rd Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, and the convening of the 1st China-Central Asia Summit have recorded China's efforts to strengthen solidarity and cooperation in the "Global South" and enhance the voice of developing countries in global affairs.

China's position on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis, actively mediating the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and proposing a two-state solution for a new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict reflect China's established position of being objective and fair on hotspot issues and addressing both the symptoms and the root causes.

Focusing on China's modernization of the Chinese style, continuing to release policy signals and favorable policies for expanding opening-up to the world, and consolidating the foundation of globalization through cooperation at all levels, China is determined to be a stabilizing force for global growth.

China has a viable strategy to be a "stabilizing force".

determined to be a stabilizing force in a turbulent world", China has long had a feasible strategy.

As early as March 2013, when he visited the world for the first time after taking office, he clearly expounded his profound insights on world security issues: "In the face of complex international security threats, it is not possible to fight alone, let alone superstitious force, and cooperative security, collective security, and common security are the right choices to solve problems." Since then, China has proposed on a number of international occasions that it should actively advocate the concept of "common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security".

Common security seeks to promote the common cooperation of all countries, rather than seeking their own absolute security at the expense of the security of other countries. Comprehensive security emphasizes the overall maintenance of security in traditional and non-traditional domains, and turns the deep-sea, polar regions, outer space, and the Internet into new frontiers for cooperation among all parties, rather than arenas for mutual competition. Cooperative security emphasizes the reservation of space for political dialogue and the promotion of national, regional and global security through dialogue and cooperation. Sustainable security requires sustainable development to promote sustainable security.

China's new security concept is different from the historical security model of one alliance of one country against another alliance, emphasizing equal and inclusive security, and providing a new solution to the global security dilemma. Over the past decade, China's extensive practice of implementing the new security concept has also won wide acclaim from the international community, which is where China's confidence lies in being a "stabilizing force in a turbulent world".

Provide a new option for the world to avoid a "lose-lose" situation.

At this year's Munich Security Conference, China proposed to "firmly be a stabilizing force in a turbulent world", which is particularly valuable.

At this year's meeting, pessimism spread. According to the Munich Security Report 2024, post-Cold War optimism about peace, stability and economic development has dissipated, and the world is at risk of falling into a "lose-lose" situation. UN Secretary-General Guterres also said in his speech at the opening ceremony on the 16th that "the current global order is not good for anyone" and "in some ways, even during the Cold War, it is not so dangerous."

On the one hand, the spread of pessimism is related to the Ukraine crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the "Munich Security Report" mentioned the "war fatigue" of Western countries. On the other hand, it is also related to the election situation in the United States, and many European countries are uneasy about Trump's desire to abandon NATO allies who are unwilling to increase military spending.

To a certain extent, the anxiety that prevailed at the venue reflected that the Western security concept and the exclusive security system created by it are no longer able to cope with security challenges, and may even affect their own security. And this kind of security anxiety also reflects the value of China's new security concept.

China's vision of "common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security" is winning the approval of more and more countries, and more than 80 countries and regions have expressed their support and response. In the face of the new situation in which the connotation and extension of security issues in the world are constantly expanding, China's new security concept is obviously a better choice to solve the dilemma of international security governance and avoid a "lose-lose" situation. It is believed that as China's new security concept is more widely recognized, China will gain broader support as a reliable stabilizing force in this turbulent world.
