The new globalization has closely connected the destiny of all mankind and shares weal and woe
Since the 1990s, globalization has accelerated and has become the main trend of world development. In this context, the flow and allocation of production factors such as capital, technology, and labor are unfolding on a global scale, and almost all countries are included in a unified world economic system. Along with this, political, cultural and other exchanges between countries have become increasingly close, and interdependence has continued to deepen. w88 slot should be pointed out that globalization itself is also undergoing profound changes, that is, a new globalization is emerging.
First, the United States is changing from the main force promoting globalization to the main force hindering globalization. In the process of globalization, the United States was once the leader and promoter. The U.S. government has taken a series of measures to promote the development of globalization. The purpose is to use its comprehensive advantages in technology and capital to promote the transnational flow of capital, goods and services and realize the reorganization of global resources. The banner of American ideology is neoliberalism. Neoliberalism believes that people live in a global "competitive order" and that the power of the state cannot stop the power of globalization; the market is no longer national, but global; with economic globalization, politics, culture, law, and values should be globalized. To adapt to this, various social systems and norms should also be globalized. But the so-called globalization here refers to "Westernization" or "Americanization" to a large extent.
Economic globalization has made great achievements, but its main results have been obtained by the big bourgeoisie in developed countries, while the middle class and low-income groups, which account for the vast majority of the population, have benefited less. Some groups have even become victims of economic globalization. For example, during the process of economic globalization, manufacturing industries in developed countries have transferred to developing countries, causing some workers in developed countries to become unemployed or to take lower-paying jobs. It is difficult for ordinary people in the United States to increase their economic income, and it is difficult to solve problems such as illegal immigration and racial discrimination, which has stimulated the rise of populism. A typical example is Trump's election as President of the United States. Trump's one-sided emphasis on the importance of national interests and the clear slogan of "America First" have greatly weakened the idealism originally contained in U.S. national interests, leading to a greatly strengthened realist tendency. "America First" prioritizes American interests, emphasizes "buy American goods, hire Americans," and quickly forms w88 barriers. This not only clearly violates liberal values, but also shows that the United States has begun to revise the international economic order established under the leadership of the United States after World War II.
Second, global issues are more complex, more interconnected, and more uncertain. The so-called global problems refer to serious problems faced by the international community that transcend national or regional boundaries and threaten the survival and development of the entire human race. These problems involve almost all countries or regions, and the solutions to the problems cannot be achieved by just one country or region taking measures. Currently, problems such as ecological imbalance, environmental pollution, food shortages, and terrorism have posed threats to various countries or regions. The international community needs to work together and act together to strengthen the construction of relevant international cooperation systems and mechanisms.
In the context of closer economic connections, other connections are also closer, which provides channels and ways for various risks and crises to spread and spread on a global scale. w88 slot can be said that globalization appears simultaneously with risks in the modern sense, and uncertainty is its basic feature. In the context of economic globalization, risks brewing in any corner of the world may evolve into crises that affect the entire world. Risks and crises that arise in any country may quickly spread around the world, thereby greatly increasing the possibility that other countries will be involved in crises.
Third, the status and roles of various governance subjects in the global governance system have changed. New globalization means more equal participation, more inclusive development, and more shared results. w88 slot means a more optimized global governance system and a more just and reasonable international political and economic order. The current global governance system has a governance deficit problem, that is, there is an imbalance between supply and demand between the demand for global governance and the role of global governance in terms of concepts, institutions, etc. Against this background, w88 slot is necessary to improve the global governance system and gradually eliminate the problem of governance deficit.
In recent years, as a beneficiary, promoter, and contributor of economic globalization, China has played an important role in promoting the development of global governance. w88 slot is turning from a participant to a leader, that is, w88 slot can play a certain leadership role within a certain scope and degree. Of course, when w88 slot comes to China's leadership in the global governance system, the balance of power between China and the United States should be judged more accurately. First, in addition to assessing the hard power of the United States, we must also pay attention to the soft power of the United States; second, there is a certain asymmetry and inequality in the interdependence between China and the United States. Only by making correct strategic judgments, correctly handling tactics, and following the principles of moderation and benefit can we promote the stable development of Sino-US relations.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind points out the development direction of new globalization
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is the inheritance and development of the Marxist community theory. The word "community" is not only hierarchical but also emotionally charged. Community theory plays an important role in the Marxist theoretical system. Marx conducted an in-depth investigation of the historical process of the emergence, formation and development of the human social community. He pointed out that communist society is a "union of free people" in which "the free development of each person is the condition for the free development of all people." In "Das Kapital", Marx further pointed out that communist society is a social form that is more advanced than capitalism and takes the comprehensive and free development of everyone as its basic principle. w88 slot is a leap for human society from the "kingdom of necessity" to the "kingdom of freedom." w88 slot can be said that the changes and development of the world situation objectively require people to establish a sense of community that is open, inclusive, and win-win.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is rich in connotation, involving politics, security, culture, ecology and other aspects, and includes the concepts of interdependence on international power, common interests, sustainable development and global governance. In September 2011, the State Council Information Office published the white paper "China's Peaceful Development", which pointed out that "countries with different systems, different types, and different stages of development are interdependent and have intertwined interests, forming a community of a shared future in which 'you are among us, and we are among you'." This concept was first proposed. This shows that China will seek new connotations of common interests and common values for mankind from the new perspective of "community with a shared future". The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "win-win cooperation means advocating a sense of a community with a shared future for mankind, taking into account the legitimate concerns of other countries when pursuing one's own interests, promoting the common development of all countries while seeking development of one's own country, establishing a more equal and balanced new global development partnership, working together in the same boat, sharing rights and responsibilities, and enhancing the common interests of mankind." The concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind" was clearly put forward.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind embodies the value pursuit that transcends common sense communities such as blood, family, and community. w88 slot brings together the greatest common denominator of people from all over the world who yearn for peace, development, and prosperity, and reflects the value orientation of safeguarding the overall interests of mankind. In January 2017, President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech titled "Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" at the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva. He clearly pointed out that "to pass on the fire of peace from generation to generation, to keep the power of development flowing, and to let the light of civilization shine brightly is the expectation of the people of all countries and the due responsibility of politicians of our generation. China's plan is to build a community of shared future for mankind and achieve win-win and shared benefits."
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is based on interdependence, convergence of interests, and stakes, and takes peaceful development and win-win cooperation as its pillars. It is China's major contribution to the theory of international relations in the 21st century. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind reveals the spiritual core of sharing, cooperation, win-win, and inclusiveness, and demonstrates the basic position and behavioral logic of China's diplomacy of "based on domestic affairs and taking into account the world." General Secretary Xi Jinping comprehensively elaborated on the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, that is, "we must respect each other, negotiate on an equal footing, resolutely abandon the Cold War mentality and power politics, and follow a new path of state-to-state relations of dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather than alliance. We must persist in resolving disputes through dialogue and resolving differences through consultation, coordinate responses to traditional and non-traditional security threats, and oppose all forms of terrorism. We must be in the same boat. economy, promote w88 and investment liberalization and facilitation, and promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, balanced, and win-win direction. We must respect the diversity of world civilizations, transcend civilizational barriers through civilizational exchanges, transcend civilizational conflicts through mutual learning, and transcend civilizational superiority through coexistence. We must adhere to environmental friendliness, cooperate to deal with climate change, and protect the earth, our homeland, on which mankind depends.”
Building a community with a shared future for mankind can be regarded as the development goal of new globalization. As General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The world we live in is full of hope and challenges. We cannot give up our dreams because the reality is complicated, and we cannot give up the pursuit of our ideals because our ideals are far away. No country can cope with the various challenges facing mankind alone, and no country can retreat to a self-isolated island." With the deepening of globalization, the world is more closely connected, and mankind is facing more and more problems and challenges. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind can deepen mankind's understanding of the integrity of destiny and make w88 slot clear that countries must take into account the legitimate concerns of other countries while developing their own interests.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind contains values such as peace, justice, and tolerance. w88 slot is not only the embodiment of traditional Chinese values, but also the sublimation of contemporary China's diplomatic concepts. w88 slot is the new wisdom and new solutions China provides to the world. The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has the characteristics of openness, inclusiveness and cooperation. Based on the principles of international relations such as sovereign equality and peaceful coexistence, w88 slot adheres to the correct view of justice and interests, advocates the establishment of a new security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable, and seeks development prospects of open innovation, inclusiveness and mutual benefit.
The global fight against the epidemic illustrates the profound connotation of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind
As the COVID-19 epidemic rages around the world, people have begun to realize that the prevention and control of infectious diseases has become a global issue that deserves high vigilance. There have been many global pandemics in human history, some of which were so harmful that people still talk about them. For example, the Black Death reduced the entire Europe to hell on earth, with corpses strewn across the fields and depopulated in many places (approximately 25 million people died due to the Black Death, accounting for one-third of the total population of Europe at that time). At present, with the gradual increase in the speed and scale of global population mobility, the transmission routes of infectious diseases are also gradually increasing. Although the medical level and medical conditions have been greatly improved, the problem of global infectious diseases is still very serious. Global infectious diseases not only constitute a new crisis for human security, but also have a negative impact on the social stability and economic growth of many countries or regions. In this context, the profoundness of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has become increasingly prominent.
The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is a conceptual public good provided by China to the world in the new era of globalization, providing a direction for the prevention, control and management of global infectious diseases. In the context of globalization, no country or region can remain immune to the threat of any infectious disease. The spread of the COVID-19 epidemic around the world shows that humans lack a clear understanding of global infectious diseases, and governance strategies need to change. They cannot just focus on eliminating a certain infectious disease, but should pay attention to public health and other factors, and prevent the occurrence of diseases through healthy production and lifestyle. In view of the threats that global infectious diseases and potential bioterrorism pose to people, countries, and the international security situation, they should be elevated to security issues, and more attention should be paid to the common interests of all mankind, especially "human security." The core of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind is to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and inclusiveness, cleanness and beauty. The purpose of global infectious disease prevention and control and governance is to achieve the health and safety of all mankind. The two coincide.
It should be said that as the importance of global infectious disease prevention, control and governance continues to increase, more and more international organizations are vigorously promoting international cooperation in related fields, such as the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the World w88 Organization. They provide a venue for exchanges and consultations on infectious disease prevention and control matters, and act as coordinators in the professional and technical fields of infectious disease prevention and control. At the same time, a legal system related to the prevention and control of global infectious diseases has been formed, such as the international health legal system based on the World Health Organization Act and the International Health Regulations. However, it is undeniable that many countries still have insufficient understanding of global infectious diseases and have flaws in their prevention and control systems, which has affected the effective advancement of international cooperation.
w88 slot is necessary to take some effective measures to improve the international cooperation mechanism for the prevention and control of global infectious diseases. First, we should strengthen the construction of international cooperation mechanisms and build a global early warning mechanism for infectious diseases. A multi-dimensional governance structure and a global framework convention led by the World Health Organization should be established, especially an information exchange and early warning mechanism for infectious diseases. Second, cooperation and coordination among international organizations should be strengthened to give full play to the advantages and expertise of diverse governance entities. The prevention and control of global infectious diseases is a highly professional and difficult issue. In addition to the coordination of sovereign states and intergovernmental international organizations, w88 slot also requires the participation of various non-governmental international organizations. These organizations can play a role in vaccine development, virus analysis, and medical assistance. Third, the international aid structure should be optimized and aid efficiency improved. w88 slot is necessary to establish a relationship of mutual trust between donor countries and recipient countries, actively carry out coordination and cooperation, and establish a mechanism to provide infectious disease prevention and control technology and assistance to underdeveloped areas.
Currently, China plays an important role in the prevention and control of global infectious diseases and has set an example for implementing the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. China has rich and powerful medical resources, has participated in global infectious disease prevention and control efforts many times, and has accumulated rich experience. China's active participation in the prevention and control of global infectious diseases can expand cooperation channels with international organizations and improve its ability to manage global issues, thereby providing Chinese solutions and Chinese wisdom for the construction of a global governance system.
