Approaching w88 casino games login“One Belt, One Road”

——Interview with Professor Wang Zhimin of the w88 casino

(Source: "Democracy and Legal Times"2015-4-26 No.10version)

2013Year9Yuehe109640_975621Century Maritime Silk Road", strive to establish a new maritime order and promote the further development of China's maritime w88.

2015Year3month28During the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Promoting the Joint Construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and21Vision and Actions on the Century Maritime Silk Road" (hereinafter referred to as "Vision and Actions"), this document is recent9000words, the system outlines the "Belt and Road" road map.

The central government launched the "Vision and Action" to accelerate the construction of the "Belt and Road". How does w88 casino games login draw a new blueprint for economic development? Recently, there has been an uproar in the United StatesTPPWhat is the relationship with w88 casino games login’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which is booming? What is the relationship between the AIIB and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative? Against the background of unswervingly pursuing the path of peaceful development, how can we find a path to rise that is different from that of traditional major powers? How can major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics serve w88 casino games login's peaceful development? What challenges remain amid the opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative? In response to the above questions, our reporter interviewedDirector of the Institute of Globalization and China Modernization, member of the Expert Advisory Committee of the China “One Belt, One Road” Strategic Research Institute, and Professor Wang Zhimin of the w88 casino。

Non-confrontational peaceful route

The purpose of the “One Belt, One Road” initiative is to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results through economic cooperation with countries on the Eurasian continent, and to inject strong impetus into the peace and development of the Eurasian continent’s economy.

From a domestic perspective, w88 casino games login's development cannot be separated from the world and opening up to the outside world. my country's opening up pattern has experienced three geographical levels: starting from the pilot opening of special economic zones, to open areas along the coast, along the river, along the border, and along the road, and then to the opening up in the western region. “One Belt, One Road” is closely related to my country’s accelerating the development of the central and western regions and promoting balanced regional development. It is also closely related to my country’s promotion of the “Going Out” strategy and the establishment of an all-round foreign cooperation pattern.

From an international perspective, as a rising power, w88 casino games login must establish an image of a responsible power. President Xi Jinping pointed out: "w88 casino games login will propose more Chinese solutions, contribute Chinese wisdom, and provide more public goods to the international community. At the same time, it welcomes all countries to ride on the coattails of w88 casino games login's economic development."

w88 casino games login, through international investment, drives the economic development of countries along the route, and at the same time promotes w88 casino games login's economic development. While mutually enhancing soft power, w88 casino games login will also provide the international community with more international public goods that are commensurate with its own strength. It adheres to the path of peaceful rise and achieves mutual promotion and common development. This is the starting point of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative.

Compared with the “One Belt” that promotes the economic development of western w88 casino games login and countries along the route, the “One Road” has a little more meaning of breaking through. first of this century1018240_18279

“On this basis, out of the principle of defense rather than confrontation, w88 casino games login proposes a ‘belt’ opening to the west. Relatively speaking, in the west and north of w88 casino games login, there are almost no allies of the United States, and some are even rivals or potential rivals of the United States. For example, Russia, Iran, and even India do not completely follow the United States, so that we can play both sides and manipulate both sides.”Professor Wang ZhiminIntroduction.

Confrontation is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. Based on the principle of non-confrontation and realistic considerations, w88 casino games login promotes the "Belt and Road" of "opening to the west" and the "One Road" of "promoting to the south" to respond to challenges, and the "Belt and Road" came into being.

The "Vision and Actions" mentioned that we should jointly build international economic cooperation corridors such as the New Eurasian Continental Bridge. When President Xi Jinping proposed the "Belt and Road", he gave it the connotation of "five links" including policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded w88, financial integration, and people-to-people connectivity. As an important part of the "Belt and Road", the Eurasian Continental Bridge plays an important role in "facilities connectivity".

Compared with the historical background and good development potential of “One Belt, One Road”, the complexity of w88 casino games login’s geopolitical environment cannot be ignored.

Fully understanding the coexistence of opportunities and challenges is conducive to creating a peaceful and stable surrounding environment and building a community of destiny, interests and responsibility.

Different from the Marshall Plan

Comparative views are now popular internationally. Many foreign scholars compare w88 casino games login’s “One Belt, One Road” and the United States’ “Manifest Destiny” (Manifest Destiny), Monroe Doctrine (Monroe Doctrine), Marshall Plan (The Marshall Plan) make comparisons. In fact, there is almost no comparability between the “Belt and Road Initiative” and the above three strategies.

The so-called "Manifest Destiny" (i.e. Manifest Destiny) in the United States originated from19century40Years, and21The Belt and Road Initiative of the century is in a completely different era. "One Belt, One Road" is not understood literally as "Manifest Destiny", but rather a subjective action. From a deeper perspective, the Belt and Road Initiative is a strategic initiative to promote openness and cooperation among countries along the route and achieve common development. It will also promote the development of the world economy and cannot be confused with the "Manifest Destiny" of the United States' external expansion relying on hard power and self-proclaimed "God's chosen people."

The most popular comparison nowadays is that the Belt and Road Initiative is w88 casino games login’s version of the Marshall Plan.Professor Wang ZhiminSaid: "Disagree."

The background of the emergence of “One Belt, One Road” is economic globalization and regional economic integration. The background of the launch of the Marshall Plan was the formation period of the Cold War between the two major camps of the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II. It was a key step for the United States to form an anti-Soviet alliance and fight against the communist camp.

The Belt and Road Initiative adheres to the principles of open cooperation, harmony and inclusiveness, market operation, and mutual benefit. It is actually the principle of partners rather than alliances. There are no political conditions attached and the goal is to achieve common economic development and mutual benefit. It was different from the Marshall Plan, which drew ideological lines and used European allies as a frontline against the former Soviet Union.

The Belt and Road Initiative emphasizes that "cooperation makes us strong, isolation makes us weak", consultation on an equal footing takes into account the interests of all parties. However, the Marshall Plan dominated Western Europe's economy by requiring recipient countries to purchase American goods. In fact, it violated the sovereign integrity of recipient countries, and based on this, the United States-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established.

As the current Foreign Minister Wang Yi wrote in his article "2014, The Great Power Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics” mentioned that the starting point of w88 casino games login’s “One Belt, One Road” is to achieve common development and common prosperity of all countries along the route. It upholds the spiritual concept of building a community with a shared future and emphasizes the equal and mutually beneficial approach of extensive consultation, joint construction, and sharing. The Belt and Road Initiative has created new vitality and vitality for the ancient Eurasian continent, and will give two strong wings to the revitalization of this vast land.

AIIBandTPP

AIIBis the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the acronym of AIIB).TPPis the United States Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement).

“Actively promoted by the United StatesTPP, want to establish a high-level free w88 agreement while excluding China, India, and Russia (FTA), very difficult. Even Japan, an ally of the United States, has its agriculture industry overwhelmed, and Japanese farmers continue to protest against this. Coupled with the recent ‘flashback’ in the PhilippinesTPP, join the AIIB.TPPThe problems behind the establishment of a series of stringent standards are gradually emerging. ”Professor Wang ZhiminI think the problems here are worth pondering.

In contrast, w88 casino games login hopes to provide more international public goods to the international community. As one of the public goods, the AIIB can lay a solid foundation and pave the way for the Belt and Road Initiative.

Reform and opening up30In the past few years, w88 casino games login’s economic and social development has attracted worldwide attention.201034745_34776International Monetary Fund，IMF）2014Year10month735900_35934GDP) is17.6Trillions of dollars, surpassing the United States17.4Trillion US dollars, ranking first in the world. AlthoughProfessor Wang ZhiminI do not agree with this view.

Compared with the strong economic development trend and the results that have been achieved, w88 casino games login's status in the international financial community does not match its economic strength. According to the official website of the International Monetary Fund, as of2015Year4month18Day, the voting power of the United States in the International Monetary Fund is16.85%, has the right of veto. w88 casino games login’s voting rights are3.81%. Likewise, w88 casino games login's status in the World Bank and Asian Development Bank is relatively low.

w88 casino games login is unable to play a role equal to its own economic status in the international financial field. It has created financial mechanisms such as the AIIB in the hope of providing the world with Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions, giving w88 casino games login and the world opportunities for common development, and echoing the "One Belt, One Road" initiative.

European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and allies of the United States such as South Korea have joined the AIIB one after another. This is also due to dissatisfaction with the slow reform of the international financial order led by the United States and considerations of national interests.

As Asia's infrastructure construction is relatively backward, the AIIB will provide financing support for Asia's infrastructure construction. The enthusiasm of countries around the world for the AIIB has injected vitality into the economic development of the Asian region and also added confidence to the implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative.

British geopolitical scholar Halford Mackinder proposed the "heartland" theory, believing that countries in the so-called "heartland" will have an advantage in the development process. American geopolitical scientist Nicholas Speakman proposed the "edge zone" theory, believing that the "edge zone" has more advantages than the "heartland".

From w88 casino games login’s own perspective, we find that w88 casino games login is a core geopolitical country that spans the “heartland” and the “periphery” and connects them. It can concentrate the dual geopolitical and economic advantages and dual security disadvantages of the “heartland” and the “periphery”.

Opportunities and challenges coexist

The “Belt and Road Initiative” looks forward to building a “community of interests”, “community of destiny” and “community of responsibility” with the countries along the route to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. As a "community with a shared future", w88 casino games login and countries along the Belt and Road are faced with non-traditional security issues including terrorism, energy security, transnational crime, maritime rescue and search and rescue, water resources and environmental security. There is a situation in which "all prosper and all lose", and opportunities and challenges coexist. How to deal with non-traditional security issues is particularly important.

Take water resources as an example. Affected by climate change, western w88 casino games login and some countries along the “Belt and Road” are facing water supply shortages and water resource security issues.

"Western w88 casino games login is restricted by the natural environment, with scarce water resources and a fragile ecological environment. In addition, the population is relatively small. If industry is developed in western w88 casino games login, whether it is heavy industry or light industry, there will not be enough water, and it will also damage the current ecological environment of western w88 casino games login."

On the challenges faced by the “Belt and Road Initiative”,Professor Wang Zhiminsaid, "I think we can build some other industries. Don't just focus on heavy industry. In fact, heavy industry is an outdated industry. In addition to heavy industry, we can develop the oil industry, service industry, tourism, logistics and other industries in the west. In addition, protecting the natural environment and soil transformation are also very important."

Professor Wang ZhiminThink of some experts and scholars who are working on water resources issues. "In response to the problem of water shortage, some scholars took the initiative, faced the problem head-on, and proposed the idea of introducing water resources. Basically, they hope to transport water from the east to Xinjiang. I really appreciate this idea. This is still a long-term problem." Through the different solutions proposed by some international scholars on how to solve the water resource problem, we have seen a variety of prospects and hopes.

Generally speaking, water shortage is a problem that remains to be studied. Our country needs to conduct a comprehensive and systematic consideration of non-traditional security issues including this issue, and then propose precise and targeted solutions. Through the “One Belt and One Road” initiative, we can achieve the goal of mutual benefit and prosperity with countries along the route.

Talking about the potential challenges that the “Belt and Road Initiative” may face,Professor Wang ZhiminQuotes from the book "The Clash of Civilizations and the Reconstruction of World Order" by American political scientist Samuel Huntington, who once caused a fierce debate in the international political circles, saying that after the Cold War, the determinants of the world pattern are represented by seven or eight major civilizations, namely Chinese civilization, Japanese civilization, Indian civilization, Islamic civilization, Western civilization, Orthodox civilization, Latin American civilization, and possibly African civilization. In the post-Cold War world, the basic source of conflict is no longer ideology, but cultural differences, which is the view of "clash of civilizations."

"Huntington believes that the conflict between Christian civilization and Islamic civilization will come soon, and may develop into Christian civilization and Confucian civilization in the future. I think that exchanges, competition, and even conflicts between civilizations will gradually emerge on the 'One Belt, One Road' initiative. Although we cannot see it now, we must strengthen predictive research."Professor Wang ZhiminMake your own predictions about potential challenges ahead.

Looking back at the recently announced "One Belt, One Road" road map, the "One Belt" includes three routes: the first one starts from w88 casino games login, passes through Central Asia and Russia, and reaches Europe; the second one starts from w88 casino games login, passes through West Asia, the Persian Gulf, and finally reaches the Mediterranean; the third one starts from w88 casino games login, passes through Southeast Asia and South Asia, and reaches the Indian Ocean. "One Road" includes two routes: both start from w88 casino games login's coastal ports, one goes to the South Pacific; the other crosses the South w88 casino games login Sea, the Indian Ocean, and finally reaches Europe.

Passing by “One Belt, One Road”60More than 10 countries, with a total population of44billion, accounting for approximately 1% of the world’s total population63%. “The different countries we pass through involve Christian civilization, Confucian civilization, Indian civilization, Islamic civilization, etc. If economic cooperation pays attention to cultural connotation and cultural influence, in the long run, it will have a negative impact on the economic cooperation of the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’.”Professor Wang ZhiminIntroduction.

“The theory of the clash of civilizations proposed by Huntington is not that he hopes for a clash of civilizations, but that he does not hope for a clash of civilizations. But we need to study this reality, especially in the context of the ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative.”Professor Wang ZhiminI don’t want a clash of civilizations, but the potential challenge to the “One Belt, One Road” from the perspective of a clash of civilizations. Is it a scholar of international issues?Professor Wang ZhiminThe effective speculation of "Autumn is known when leaves fall", the answer must be verified by time.

Welcome to take a ride

"Although the UK's move to join the AIIB has cast a shadow on the so-called "special relationship" between the United States and Britain in a short period of time. At the same time, the UK has encountered some national issues such as Scottish independence and the subsequent economic problems. In the long run, the UK's joining the AIIB is to see the opportunities for development in Asia and the necessity of cooperation with Asia.

Russia initially had doubts about the Belt and Road Initiative. The main reason was insufficient communication. During the Sochi Winter Olympics, President Xi Jinping and President Putin reached a consensus on this. Li Hui, Chinese Ambassador to Russia, said in an interview with the media that ‘the Silk Road Economic Belt is the common interest of w88 casino games login and Russia and runs in parallel with the existing Eurasian Economic Union’. ”Professor Wang ZhiminWeigh.

Kyrgyzstan President Atambayev believes: "In the future, the relationship between w88 casino games login and all Eurasian Economic Union member states, including Kyrgyzstan, will only be strengthened, and countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt will also benefit from it."

Just like President Xi Jinping2014Year8When he delivered a speech in Mongolia in March, he said, "Everyone is welcome to board the train of w88 casino games login's development, whether it is an express train or a free ride, we welcome them all."
