The West has always believed that China people will only adapt to and abide by international rules, and will not seek to change or create them. If we don't change this phenomenon, we will gradually lose our right to speak in the international community. Under the new situation that international rule-making is becoming the focus of international competition, if a country "only plays cards and doesn't sit in the village" for a long time, it will have no "right to play cards in the first round" and lack the preemptive advantage, which will lead to defeat in the struggle for the right to speak in the country and eventually become a laggard or even an abandoned child. To be a staunch force for maintaining world peace and promoting common development, China should not only be the guardian angel of international rules, but also shoulder the responsibility of a big country, actively participate in the formulation of international rules, and strive to create "China products" full of oriental wisdom to promote the establishment of a new international order. In recent years, China hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Beijing Conference, which promoted the "Beijing Road Map" of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area and showed the world China's confidence in promoting regional economic cooperation and development. At the same time, China put forward the idea of "One Belt, One Road" and established the Silk Road Fund and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to enhance the connectivity of Asian countries. The FTAAP and the Belt and Road Initiative (Belt and Road Initiative) are simultaneously exerting their efforts in the east and west directions, and are building a "one body and two wings" pattern of the rise of great powers, adding fresh "China elements" to the establishment of a new international order. In particular, the concept of peaceful cooperation, openness, tolerance, mutual learning and mutual benefit advocated by the "Belt and Road" is highly compatible with the demands of peaceful development of countries along the route and is a vivid embodiment of the spirit of the Silk Road passed down from generation to generation. This shows that "where there is a will, there is a way, and mountains and seas are not far away." With the ambition and pursuit of a win-win situation with the world, China has increasingly become a "new geopolitical master" on the international stage by participating more in the formulation of international rules, putting forward China's plan and showing China's wisdom.
Get out of the misunderstanding that "China will be showstopper that challenges international rules" and strive to be an important defender of the new international order.
Historically, in order to maximize their own interests in the global international political and economic order, emerging powers often become challengers of the existing international order. The logic of traditional relations between big powers is essentially the logic of a "zero sum" game. With the strengthening of China's national strength, the international community is very concerned about whether China will challenge the existing international order, even full of doubts and fears. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. China people, who advocate "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you", realized the truth that "though the country is big, it will perish if it is belligerent" as early as more than 2,000 years ago. China's proposal to build a new type of international relations featuring political mutual trust, economic mutual benefit, social mutual assistance and cultural mutual learning has broken away from the old pattern of international political thinking, indicating that China will not seek hegemony, overthrow the existing international order, pursue its own rights and interests on the basis of harming the interests of other countries, and will not follow the "law of the jungle" and follow the old road of "a strong country will dominate", but will strive to become a win-win economy through cooperation. In other words, China will unswervingly be a practitioner of peaceful development, a promoter of common development, and a defender of the multilateral trading system in line with the concept of "the world benefits from planning interests" to provide institutional guarantee for world peace and stability. This shows that China is not a challenger to the international order, but continues to be an effective defender of the existing international system and recognized norms of international relations by reforming and improving international rules.
Get out of the misunderstanding that "China is an unusual person who doesn't play by the rules of the game" and take the initiative to be a sincere practitioner of the new international order.
International rules are the core of the international order and an important clause that the international community must follow. In today's era, no country lives in a vacuum or on an island. If it doesn't play according to the common rules of the game, it may eventually become a loner in the international community because it can't get help. Historical experience shows that a country that abides by the rules will inevitably "however, when China maintains our friendship, heaven will still be our neighbor"; A country that doesn't obey the rules will only be "there is no confidant in the sea, as if it were a lifetime ago." In order to integrate and lead the world today, China must strengthen the awareness of rules, create a beautiful business card of China ruled by law, cultivate a national image of honesty and rules, make it a "passport" to cross the jungle of the world, and set an example for building a new international order with sincere practice. Therefore, in this big international family, China should be a good brother who understands, abides by and uses the rules, so as to gain everyone's recognition and respect. At present, in form, China has joined almost all intergovernmental international organizations established since 1945, as well as other forms of international systems and mechanisms; In the Asia-Pacific region, China has also participated in major regional cooperation mechanisms such as APEC, "10+x", ASEAN Regional Forum and East Asia Summit. However, joining the international system and participating in regional affairs does not mean that we have played a corresponding role in it. This shows that China, in the spotlight of the world, should not only be an active participant in the formulation of the international system, but also fully fulfill its international commitments in the spirit of keeping its promises, strive to be a firm practitioner of the concept of * * * unity of human destiny, and inject strong positive energy into promoting the establishment of a new international order.
Get out of the misunderstanding that "China is the beneficiary of international rules hitchhiking" and make greater contributions to the new international order.
In recent years, there is an international argument that "China is a free-rider country". Related to this, the voice of "China's Responsibility Theory" is getting louder and louder. It must be noted that since the beginning of the new century, with the strengthening of China's strength and the increasing international pressure for China to assume greater international responsibilities, China has been striving to create the image of a "responsible big country", consciously taking developing countries as the key areas to fulfill its responsibilities as a big country, and taking due responsibilities in coping with global climate change, promoting world economic growth and reducing poverty. Implement international development assistance and humanitarian relief, participate in international security governance and peace building, and promote the reform and improvement of the international order. After the international financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis, in order to stabilize the relations with western countries and neighboring countries, China has taken a series of measures, such as maintaining the creditor-debtor relationship with the United States and actively developing foreign aid, which has played an important role in the stable recovery of the world economy. In recent years, China has granted 97% tariff-free treatment to the least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations. Recently, China announced the establishment of the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund at the United Nations, providing US$ 2 billion in the first phase to forgive the outstanding interest-free loan debts of the least developed countries at the end of 20 15. This shows that "such a big China" can never be a "free rider" in the international system, but a "promoter" who works together with other countries. Looking forward to the future, China, as a responsible developing country, will surely go hand in hand with the world for mutual benefit and win-win, and make more and more contributions to building a more scientific and rational new international order.
